Santa Is all Around Part # II

 

It´s still July so let us celebrate Christmas in July again! 

You find these all over! And sometimes there is stuff in for me, like this:

A sleeping cat. In a sleeping bag. 

 

 

The Santa was an Advent-calendar-pressie from a former friend.
 

It´s plain crazy.

 

A book, two, for my Nieces, diaries (when they´re old enough for that).

 

A fancy box where I store earrings in now:

Just step outside, get a high-quality orange juice machine for free.

 

You go for a walk and see a box? Huh??? 

 

 

Ingo walks by, I always stop and often find some treasures.

 

Even at home!

 

Sometimes I think... Santa? I have milk at home (and still cookies from hell, by golly, too much jalapeno added).

.. Hello, Corinna, one day we´ll visit!

 

 

 

Guess what we´ll have tonight?

 

Give pre-loved stuff away for free - we all do this - going somewhere is like a treasure hunt!

I don´t take it all, of course. 

 

And FINALLY!! I can give away too!!!

 

I prefer this - there is one guy who takes it all and SELLS it! But he doesn´t dare going in here.

 

I have tons of books, DVDs, a clock and... oh it´s heavy, I´ll have to take some each Monday!

Santa, I give you back... and thank you and keep my eyes open.

Same in your place?

If you like see part #1 here. 

I think those online-shops loose out right now, people are sick of Corinna and want to show they care about humans.

 

Henry 🦁 

No worries, Henry, I keep ALL Braunschweig-books!

 

And LOVE 🧡💛💚 is spread all around the world - just visit Carola here, it´s beautiful! Infectious, hopeful, inspiring.

Summer

Pic from Löbbeckes Island around the corner, our lille park.

Before I got my sun allergy I lay on my belly in Denmark in a bikini, reading a book -  and a seagull shit on me. In brown. Brown poo. 💩

Isn´t bird-poo white?!

Everybody laughed, but me.

Well, I joined, what else to do...

This is a beautiful summer-sight, right?

 

"The guy" is back, too, presenting his balls.

 

 

I spare you more details.

Oh, just for the fun of it, though!

He, in Cuba 2010, was constantly checking if everything was in place (my friend took the pic).

It´s, in the aftermath, sad.

He made no friends at all.

Maybe he was a nice guy.

But it was a ...especially the checking! 

"Both balls still inside"?

The front was as tight, 🤣

Happy summer days. He ran around like this all the three weeks we were there. At least he was tough. 

Henry 🦁

 

It´s summer!!!

I´m not sunburned, I ran... dumb idea when it´s "hot" ....

 

Santa Is All Around Part #I - To My Aussie Friends!

 

Take the cuppa along!!!

Isn´t this too cool?!

(you might need another pot to brew but what the heck, this looks fun! And maybe I use it to store tiny stuff)

 

 It´s so crazy what I find in the streets these days!

I use to give away mainly books and DVDs.

But I  find chairs!

 

 

Cool chairs! I bet they would be expensive on the market!

They´re just there, to take home! For free!

 

 This one can take me, not Ingo, the back is a bit "weak", but, cool, huh?!

Soap you can model anything you want to before use.

 

Book on science.

 

 

DVDs on science and art...

 

Is it Corinna? 

We give and take so much more!

A super-cool suitcase!

 

 

 

 

 

Old discs! Ingo said, worth a lot - I only took three of a box FULL of them. 

 

 

 

I don´t want to bore you to death, #2 is coming, Santa is so busy, he thinks he´s in Australia, where they celebrate "Christmas in July"!

Henry 🦁

 

More to come - he can´t wait to show you!

 

And so weird- I dreamed of eating sweets - twice - and my parents. Both nights, too.

I don´t like sweets and my parents are long gone.

Santa, it´s enough.... Milk is in the fridge and I got Ingo Snickers, you find them in the green chamber.

Care For A Cone?

Henry 🦁 ?

He thinks also of people who rather prefer beer, coke, pizza, maybe want to stay overnight in a tent in the park and need someone who can help carry the stuff.

 

You can rent this bike for free - isn´t Henry the best? The "Lastenlöwe" - isn´t this a great idea?

Just register here! Or... here! They´re all over Braunschweig.

 

This is for  Tom´s Signs2.

 

Also... a sign of summer: The garbage truck passed by, I looked up and the man standing outside clinging on looked back at me, we both grinned and he nodded a "hello". I nodded back and I think we both smiled for a while. It was but 21C, but the sun was shining. 

Summer makes life so much better!

Oh, and in case you wondered in last post... our wedding rings had layers of gold in the titanium.

It washed away (not our love, though).

 

 

Fly Away?

Sadly I fall for cool designs - this beer was not yummy at all.

It´s only good enough for joining Elizabeth´s "T Stands For Tuesday"...

 

I must grow up, huh.

 

On the bright side... FINALLY:

 

 

Sadly - as everyone once in a while - we got into a fight and Ingo left, but next day made from his Bratwurst an  edible ...

 

 

... for us. Hadn´t had one since I quit my external job at VW. Well, "quit", got terminated is the better description, sadly.

I enjoyed also this super-mega yummy...

 

 

OK, it looks a bit... fun tweet I read was a Mum with her daughter at the bakery and the lille girl exclaimed at full volume she just had "cockporn" - even Germans understand this, LOL - she certainly meant Popcorn.

Will I ever be able to say "popcorn"?

It´s like KFC - I cannot say the real name, but from a comedy show "Kentucky schreit ficken".

Also in a job interview I said "Corinna".

 

Well, I still have feta, ham, will do as well and is much cheaper (the first one was from our butcher).

 

Ingo is still on holiday, so I only come up with this - I somehow fail to cook or draw when Ingo is home, don´t ask me why, my brain is blocked!

 

 Monday was like November. Grey and cold, but Tuesday we had ice-cream at our Italian guys, I managed to squeeze in some sport and we had a yummy sandwich in the evening, oh, boy, I still have boiled eggs!

 

Wednesday Ingo downloaded a very interesting docu on Corinna, the darn Covid. From Austria. We are back at accents!!! The reporter interviewed specialists, doctors, professors in English. Good. Second sentence they ALWAYS  set in translating that to Austrian!

For crying out loud! I had a hard time. 

 

Then nice phone call with the lady from the work-center - I am to enjoy my holiday. OK, I can live with that.

 

Thursday the sun came out - reading on the balcony.

 

Friday... Nothing much. 

 

Saturday we had Toast Hawaii again and Ingo watched Gilmore Girls in the original with me - I wanted to test him if he gets it, as they speak fast - he did well and even liked the series... episode. Not so much as in keeping watching more with me (I have the whole series on DVD so I can watch in the original.)

 

Sunday it was Die Maus, a fairy tale and Currywurst.

Henry 🦁

He´s hanging on to me now! 🥰

And no. No birthday or anything - just happy times! 

Addendum. She flew away. 😥 (see title, how ironic can it get)

Our W just knocked - his wife has passed in the nursing home.

Ingo invited him for Thursday to have a beer in the deep garage (they are open only on Thursdays). Life can be so hard.

But he has some humor left.

A couple of times he saw me, but I was too fast walking again, not a chance to catch me.

He´s a tall, sporty man, but a push-biker.

He said she kinda must´ve known it´s coming to an end.

She agreed to sell the car.

She died peacefully in her sleep.
