A Summer-FFO

 
With these funny faces I join Nicole´s FFO - your´re welcome for the earworm.
 
Meep:
 

 
 
 
And for Gillena´s AFFF I have this:
 

 And now something to smile about:
 

 And some funnies:
 





 This one is funny: I love the series "Young Sheldon" and I hate the one where he´s an adult.
But.... what is "real"? 


 


 


 The chair outside is too uncomfy for my hurting back, darn it.

 Hope you can enjoy outside!!! Have a happy Friday!
 

 

 

Ice-Scream, I Scream!

 

 
On February 22, a Sunday, this year I wrote from Perth that we were watching a cooking-show and I thought I´m in a horror-movie as I heard some strange noise that did not fit into that show.
I only saw the truck as he drove away but googled the name and contacted the driver who came right back (thank you, FB!)! 
Next Sunday I had my cam ready, see he stood in the street.
 
Then ... he saw me standing on the porch and as we don´t have a car he drove directly in front our door! Now THAT is service.
Took the neighbors a bit to find him there, so we had a nice chat. 
 

This last one  is by Ingo:

 He went away with the words, "see you in two years!"

Monkey Me!

This is The Brass in Northbridge / Perth and they invite you to the Fringe Festival.

 
This time we didn´t go, though. We had a proper beer instead: 
 
 

This is for Tom´s Signs2. As the river is a bit far away the Monkey is my good-bye today.

T This Scary Week

 

 With this "with sugar" GÖNRGY I join Elizabeth´s T. Was yummy. 
 
The journal:
 

Monday: Our doc: On holiday. Found out who steps in, Ingo went.... that doc has no clue what´s wrong with Ingo´s hand. Got Ingo a list with neurologists. He didn´t go. I am scared.
Only good thing: Now at the company they know how it is when Ingo suddenly is out!
They fail to train a new dude. Since years! 
 

Tuesday: New mailman. "Iris Flavia?" Ummm. Now no surname?! At least a bit German he spoke. To refugees who integrate, work and learn our language!
0.7C in Perth - in  9NEWS!!!!
Ingo didn´t have a stroke. That is the only good news. Electric shocks, CT, MRI, they have no idea what is wrong. It is so scary. And again I cannot eat properly out of fear.
Tomorrow a meeting from fE with mK upon what´ll happen to me. More fear. 
 

Wednesday: No news from fE. 
I am the saddest!!! "Death in Paradise" is over! Christmas- season and the inspector asks his visiting Mom  (Mum from Great Britain) on the phone to bring "the items": Brussels Sprouts!!!! I once had those in Cuba - forget it - not the region!!!! They need frost! (I ate them).
Sadly no Harry at the end. 
 

Thursday: Got Toy-Story 1-4 from amazon. Didn´t play. I´d looked forward to this so long.
Ingo got an old device that made it play. 

 
Friday: Summer party at ESE. fE and fK wanted to "sneak" me in. fK´s wife even offered her place for me. But the rules are strict and certainly colleagues know I´m not fK´s wife.
I´m on hold, job-wise and it so hurts. 
Have Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story) right here and he turned.. old! Yellow-ish... But he comforts me a bit. And still works!
I´m in "self-pity-mode".
BUT Sun is shining and it warmed up - yehaaaaa! 
 

Weekend: Saturday: Toy Story!!!! Cause... balcony was no option. We have a park 5 minutes away on foot, no one would care about kids being fun and loud. 
Noooo.... Kids yelling, SCREAMING non-stop in the neighbor´s garden. Physics, huh. It is LOUD!!! Respect? Not a thing these days.
It is sad.
This is the "next generation"? "Me-me-me-me"??? 
The parents: I am not to complain. Of course. I only live here, too. 
Park - 5 minutes!!!!! 
 
Sunday: Woke up to Ka-BOOOM!!!! Heavy rain, thunder, lightning, awww, soooo beautiful!
To SUMMER!!!! 
Ingo thinks my plants will survive - yikes, I planted some only Friday! 
Odessa on TV. Oh, so horrible. People - YOUNG people - some don´t even care anymore to seek shelter when alarm starts. I am so thankful I can live in a country where there is no war.
Some in the docu even speak German, a good German! Yes. They are our neighbors after all - I cannot even read their language... They speak good English, too.
How can one man... well we had this before, too often...
 
Munchy:
 

 Oh, I steal an "i"... Sandwich....

Back-pain, hand...  oh....

Birdies!!!! 140 Of Them!! #6

 

One more of the mural-series by Graeme Miles Richards
 
That blue bird...
Let me take you back to 2019 ...
 
Oh, wait, see that penguin?
Our host and I share our wedding anniversary, so, as her Hubby worked in Adelaide she flew over and before our wedding invited us to Penguin Island as Wedding-pressie 2013, see here, if you like! 
 
Back to 2019... 
Grace and P took us to Yanchep NP. 
 
There was a HUGE spider. Ingo and Grace tried to capture it!
 

P and I headed on!!! No spiders, please, I just say: 2024.... I got spider-bites. Our host took me to medicare... Gack here! That really was not y best visit. After that I got bitten by sandflies.
 
Well, the birder P is he stopped me! 
"See  it?! It´s special!!!"
He pointed.
Went down to my level. Pointed. Nada - I saw nothing. A tiiiiny bird. Nope! Huh????
 
We went for lunch.
P called me over - see... in Australia the food is delivered, the drinks in Pubs are not, so I thought he needs my  - very clumsy - help (he did, too).
 
He pointed out of the window and I thought... "not again that bird!!!!"
 
Sami, you know P. He tipped me on the shoulder, looked like a 7-year-old school-boy in mischieve, grinned and pointed me to the screen behind us.
 
Ha-Ha!!!!! The Simpsons were on and I could pinpoint the episode! - Their Daughter A and I ... huuuuh, people run away cause everything is "The Simpsons" when the two of us meet! 
P didn´t expect me an expert, too!
 
Later I found:
 
 
This bird DOES exist after all!!! See here!
 
 
And that bird substitutes the black swan for once! 
 
Oh, I can´t wait to meet you all again!
At least: Summer is rolling in here!

Meet Late Tama

 
Too cute, huh! To napping on the job! 
And to  railway hopefully soon again. 

She sure is for...

 


 Eileen.

And since I learned from Eileen in some countries it´s Father´s Day... 1980 Germany, Dad in first pic on the left.

 

He took his job very serious! In Germany Dad´s get drunk on that day.... As you see I wasn´t really happy about that! Dad just had one or two drinks, so no worries!

The second he titled "Only two people here are sober" referring to Bro and I.  

So, to you who celebrate: Happy Father´s Day. How do you celebrate?

 Henry 🦁


 Have a crittery one!
