Double-Half
or One Ten without ham

Yah, this pic has nothing to do with the title... just shows a happy (and sick of motion) me :-)

This (for "real ;-)"..): is Ingo after been asked at the cash-out if he has a payback-card - NO! - if he wants "Treuepunkte" (points you get and then can pick some stupid stuff) - NO! - or... if he wants a lolli/lolly? .. ummmm. yes :-)

The bbq in the trolley?
I come to that later! :-)

After grocery-shopping we went on a little walk - hey, it´s warm, yay!!!!

Some kid lost its bonnet and, well... here it is! My town... One step further... awww... those colors! I just love spring (and Ingo does so, too): This house just looks great, huh? Ingo is standing there like Forrest Gump, hehe :-)
(didn´t like that movie until I saw it in Sun Pictures in Broome, where the movie-sky really melts into the WA-night-sky!)

Another house, so beautiful, huh? The woman probably has a reason to cover her breast... who knows who lives behind that window, right? ;-)

Beneath: Oh, and this is why Tuesday is a day off: People party, dance into May or haunt witches (just a German link and no, I won´t translate since I never joined).

Here: Ingo exclaimed: "Suuure... a designer. From Hannover!!!"
Yeah! Who would put dogs here in the city of Henry The Lion, huh???! Just some stupid guy from Hannover!

Here? I just don´t wanna know what happened (still I took a pic...) Now... don´t get me wrong... it´s warming up here, I´m wearing a T-Shirt, finally! Still... Rudolph will be in my friend´s Advent-Calendar on December 6th.
Yes, I think of this all year round :-)

This? Braunschweig is just a cool town, huh?

And some... oh, well...

a warning for coming beavers?

The BBQ I was referring to?
I called Bro and asked if they have a BBQ sometime soon.

Yes - today!
I asked him to instruct little Niece about everything very clearly.

Because... "Uncle" Ingo bought her something: Isn´t this the coolest bbq ever??? She loves eating, so... I don´t remember being about two... (she´ll turn two in August) - will she try to eat that stuff? Will she copy her Daddy doing a bbq and ask for real food?
Anyone?

Since we unpacked the stuff, I´ll bring it over like that, just we made it a bit more "real": like... she can keep that lunchbox that is from the city of Henry The Lion to Mia, a little Lion-girl (as said, born in August). It says "feeding of the carnivore" - and if there is anything little Niece likes... it´s food! Ingo´s idea, btw, he is the one who is creative.

What did I do?
All the windows and with that we finally got the flower on the wall: With warmth coming over finally, Ingo took away the styrofoam of our green-chamber´s window: Nature is free to paint shadow-pics again :-)

"Zunge" found a new place to live with us: And to add a bit of holiday-feeling, Ingo bought a Ukulele that says "Hawaii" (and my friend P always laughs her head off when I say Hawaii as it´s supposed to be pronounced, as in "we´re having Toast Hawaii" (I also watch Magnum atm when running, sooo cute)): We also bought some rhubarb-stuff: Goes just cool with the shirt Ingo bought me, huh? I ate it, too: And my... it is yummy!

Lucky me, huh? Yes.
It´s a pig. He´s a prince! Happy, lucky (long?) weekend everybody!
(Ingo goes to get some coal for a real bbq - I tell ya, people, it´s getting warm overe here, YAY!!!)

The Lion is already wearing a T-Shirt :-) And what did Ingo do? Right, cleaning his shoes. Which is too funny because only Friday I had this talk with my friend:

She: My husband is always cleaning his shoes.

Me: Ingo, too.

Both: But only his own!

And right the next day, Ingo takes his shoes and brush!

Oh, we also talked about that this doesn´t make the shoes last longer.

After the brown shoes, Ingo took the black ones and… So much for this one, huh? Life is too funny at times.

Now lets go for some fresh spring colors!

My new shower gel, yum! And if these two don´t promise a good summer! Frogs, again? Yes! And this one: Is a tool! You can measure cm and inch with his tongue: I finally got a cute glass for the sea shells and stones we picked up in Australia: And when we come to pink… pink is for girls, right? Girls are Mädchen, hence: Mädchenkram, girl-stuff :-) Speaking of languages…. This bird, is a Birdy Bördy! And useful, too: We went to the Notary today, to get our last wills professional.
Mine was old, some stuff was to go to Mum.
I only sniffed and Ingo took my hand and said, "Now, don´t cry". Yeah, guess what. I started to cry a bit, like my eyes did.
Still so surreal. She´s really gone.

Well. A funny afterwards... Ingo can´t go in here! A new shop for kds!
(In a range we can´t afford, but still cute)

Eeek. What did blogger do? it´s worse than before to work with, huh?

Finally spring is on the way, man, it was time, I tell ya!

And with this more and more people hop on their bikes again.

Hence, Saturday was a day to remember riders that got injured or even died last season.


On Kohlmarkt they had put up this coffin and all those bikes. Glovies and all. It was kinda freaky. Here is a German article

The coffin stands for a 75 year old man who died right around the corner where we live.


Ingo got the new Braunschweig-helmet (aka Lion-helmet, "Löwenhelm"), I have to wait, they were out of my size.


We did some serious fooling around, thanks to digital cameras it´s all documented :-)





The city was just packed, it was insane. I really do prefer to go on Mondays!

Fun-stuff for the kids:


And for adults:



We went to the tourist-info and Ingo bought two tickets for Udo Jürgens, guess we´re getting old! ;-)
(No, seriously! Will he dance again like that? Sexy!!!)
His texts are intelligent and cute, too. He became a Dr. hc for a reason.
And we have tickets!!!



Who wouldn´t want to be this woman, huh??? It´s really worth watching! She is so beautiful, and her voice! And how cute he is!
The respect and cuteness...
I´d "die", oh, by golly!
Can a man in his 70´s be more sexy than this?
And the text?
I haven´t been to New York. Or Hawaii.
I´ve been free, with Ingo, heaps. And my jeans? Yeah. When crashing with the skateboard as a kid... I ripped them too. Not in San Fransisco, though ;-)
Can´t wait to hear and see that man!
He even refers to my fav show with Günter Jauch!

Ingo wants to go in a tuxedo and says, I need to buy some serious dress as well. Will be in November, hence cold, I suppose…

Not much girly-like: I do not look forward on buying a dress…

We also got two keyholders, one side says:


(I seriously need to see a barber, huh?!)
"Braunschweig"

And the other


(as soon as a cam is directed to me, I look stupid!)
"Heimat"

Home… so right!

Because who doesn´t want to live in a city where lovers give themself names that have the city in it?


Also one in green :-)


Yeah, spring is here:


Saturday ended with a yummy heart made of meatloaf, Ingo´s family-receipe :-)


Happy Monday :-)
