At The Car Wash

You get that for free these days, right from the sky 🌧🌨

And yes. This was taken right here in Braunschweig. And really... I have no idea how to say that in German? Maybe "Autowaschanlage" 🤣

We are rainy day people and for in case your´re done with this beautiful song (thank you, Bill) but your brain now struggles with the sign above here goes:

This certainly is for Tom´s Signs2.

Henry 🦁

He´s also there when you park where you should not!

And yet, ... he even gets a sign in the form of a smile!

(Note... police lady with mask, guy getting the car up without... it´s a crazy world, but, hey, they keep the more important... DISTANCE!)

They cut down trees atm and this car was in the way. Was...

To rain 🧡🌧

T Stands For A Weeee BiT SporT Only.

Somewhere I found a theme "what your Hubby loves".

I´m a bit late, but we both LOVE The Simpsons and in Tuscany we even played chess.

(Counts as "brain-sport", does it?!)

It was HOT yesterday, yayyyyy.... so Hubby brought the game onto the balcony and popped the darn huge brolly up (too heavy for me, it´s always a "dance" and not a nice one, to get it up or down... for me, he can do it easily!).

OK, what to use? Coal, pen...?

Ingo suggested I start with Granpa.

OK, if you wanna learn you have to show your crap, right, boy, this was difficult!

All I came up with was ... this... (Marge and Lisa from behind):

Tips are very welcome.

The original:

Food-wise... Adriano (on my BOSE sadly only) and I went into mushrooms....

And then...

It was SOOOOOOOOO yummy!!!!

For Eileen:

What did we do.

Mon: Ingo was signed sick but fit enough to go to the city (it´s complicated, as always).

We had a beer at Guido´s, Braunschweig´s oldest Pizzeria. - it was SUMMER, Yay!

Tue: Read my kindle on the balcony (Summer, yay!!!) - it got cooler, though.

Sport just a wee bit. Does summer and Ingo being home count for being lazy?

Wed: I baked Pizza muffins and they turned out great! Bit Sport. Cold 😢

Thursday...warmer... We had the first Ice cream of the year!!

Note the shirt! Aboriginal art, and we sure are "allowed" to show it.

I´ll NEVER forget the lille boy, he could barely walk, a lille Aborigine in... oh, where the mini-Bungle bungles are nearby.

He "walked" over to us, pointing at me, "YOUUUU... girl!!!" - then to Ingo "YOUUUUU... boy!!!"

Sooo sweet. 🥰 His parents, sober, brand new car, smiled big.

We saw so much bad, this was so good!

Ingo made TOAST HAWAII... with an olive, LOL. (you usually have those icky-mega-sweet cherries - olive is better). Cold. This is no summer.

It´s an olive, please don´t rate my blog as... you-know-what! 🤣

Fri: A parcel arrived and my sweet neighbor, C, took it for me.

In there... my Brother would plain KILL me! (He´s a goldsmith, amongst other)

Cheap "crap", but once I have a job I´ll change what I wear maybe every day!

One can dream, huh.

They always come in pairs, but I just need one - if you´re interested in the other, let me know.

I also got...

I love life but it´s - likely for all of us - a bit crooked these d... "days".

For another parcel turn in on Thursday, if you like!

AND!!!! Ingo spotted - and showed me... BABY-Squirrels!!! Walnuts are outside for them! They munch already.

Days are getting shorter, too, so sad.

Sunday Die Maus and Elefant came as sand-art... summer, right?

And since this is for Elizabeth and Bleubeard´s "T Stands For Tuesday"...

Henry 🦁... "It´s dark."

Oh, Henry, it rains!!! We gotta go outside! Smile, ole pal!

Shaking The Future

Took this pic from a Transperth-bus in Perth (just where I cannot remember, sorry!!! It was 2019).

Corinna made me now read "Shaking the future" but the artist wanted to shape it!

The red light now somehow stopped me. Made me look closer.

This was 2019 and it´s brand new still.

Black lives matter... colored lives matter, this I interpret into that mural.

Why can´t we simply be like this?

Too many dumb people around still (woman sticking out her tongue - or is it a man. Does this matter?). Great to have an intelligent community like this one.

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

Henry 🦁 ...

He hides in the corner upon all the hatred and madness in the world.

It´s not worth a penny to behave like so many dumb people do these days (PENNY is like ALDI here in Germany).

Let´s shape the future, shall we.

Addendum: Margaret made me add this, the subject of hatred seems to be everywhere, also in her place so let me tell you this, is it like that in your place, too?:

I worked for a B2E, business to employee, portal and one dumb dude (sorry, he was dumb) offered illegal work through that - with his real name. At his employee.
I friendly wrote an e-mail, starting casually, "hello Mr..." and explained why I deleted it.
Seconds later an e-mail came back, no greeting, all upper-case insulting me and I thought... for real... would he stomp into my office, not greet and insult me, screaming?

For real people here, young men mostly, form groups to insult and threaten people, that´s why it makes no sense the Braunschweig-police offering self-defending courses for free for women. What use if I can strike down one if three other hit me in an instant? And why for women only, too...

The internet makes them feel strong spreading hatred.
Cowards, they are in reality.

So, lets shape the future for the better and in peace.

And Pps. as Mae said she likes the Henry.

It says "Dear neighbors, we from PENNY Hagenbrücke love to be there for you".

See. I live in a huge town and yet we are neighbors 🥰

For My (Other) Lille Bro

See last post, first pic, this is standing at our old TV - Big Niece turns 11 years old, LOL!

Dearest Stevenson, this is so you can see it properly 😘

And all who´d like to see it, too, of course!

My Mum passed away on December 29th 2011. This pic was taken was on her Birthday in September 19th that year.
Henry 🦁 is already sound asleep!

Let´s Go Back!

Yes, this is BACK TO THE FUTURE!

Funny, btw, Ingo told me there is a docu on digging gold. In German of course, and sadly. Kalgoorlie, Meekatharra etc (sweet memories of 1999). Funny enough in German in this docu they said "Western Australia", not "West Australien". A lille treat.

Do you know how it works here?

The speaker starts in English, good. Then mid-sentence the German one sets in - annoying. You hear everything twice and miss out on the rest and sometimes it´s translated badly, too.

Sorry, rant over.

Maybe, coming back to the theme, in the future also the dumb German may choose the language on TV...

Christmas 2006 we watched the Back to the Future movie part 1 on TV. In Perth, Western Australia. In stinkin´ hot temps in a cabin without aircon. Back to Ingo´s toys, shall we?

I mean...

This is made with so much love already in the first place, look!

Time-stamp and all!

(Don´t visit us, it´s dangerous!)

Certainly Ingo got more!

THIS was the Advent-Calendar!

Here you see...

... again in my ole green shelf. How sweet is this? The Enchantment under the Sea, ohhhh...

This was important to Ingo to show you:

If you suffer epilepsy don´t click play on this:

Even the Flux capacitor is blinking, see?

Also this was important to Ingo to show you, the good ole "quality"...

Einstein was the dog, in case you don´t know the movies. I think part 2 is even better, btw.Biff & Co are still lying on the billiard table... Ingo will play some more, hence 🥰

And, as I said, you can bet on it!

In the Sports Almanac all bets are recorded, so if you can travel back in time and get this you can get all the bets correct in the future. Sadly we have 2021... 😉

Let´s go back into 1950, bet and get rich! OK, 1999 would be better.

Henry 🦁 prefers yet another date:

Boys and toys 😘

Henry up there on the right, love-sign to the left.

I´m not done yet!

Ingo found a huuuge docu by Josh Gates on all the seven DeLoreans used in the movie and the ... ohhh I don´t know how many they found on the way!!!!

With... the one and only Doc!!! Christopher Lloyd.

Soooo sweet. So sweet.

Also as in "Chris" is my Dad´s age and Josh my little Brother´s. Bitter-sweet.

So many entries of fans as well, just let me show you soon!
