One year older...

A day after my birthday, I drove to Braunschweig. We, Iris and me, had an appointment in the PTB. I was late (traffig yam) and picked up Iris on the street.

When we returned I made a great birthday-tour:

First, the front door:



Next, when I came in, I saw my special experiment wishing me a happy one as well: The experiment is: turning a pig into a cow (german quote see the buddy here - from his content we´ll go to El Gaucho and have the yummiest steak in the world! Don´t believe me? See yourself invited for a proof [you pay the ticket to come here]! (This experiment will transform a pig into a cow´s best pieces!) :-)

The kitchen is still decorated with lots of colored bags of compressed air,(ordinary people called them balloons :-)...)



Here are some more impressions - the bathroom:



Entrance to "the room" (single-room apartment):



The TV:



My soft-friends (nap-bear has sweet dreams, as usual):



These I put on the ceiling: separate electrical energie by rubbing rubberbags (filled with air) on a fur. If you don´t have any fur, use your scalp-hair. (If you don´t have: woolen socks do it well):



Next morning (actually I peeked in the night), I saw the decorated door from inside:

The arch



Last Saturday we went to the FAL (Federal Agricultural Research Centre) to visit the corn labyrinth.

On the way up there I saw the kiddies-play-arch they also have in the Phaeno, an experimental museum.

"I know this one!" I exclaimed and the man standing right there looked blank into my face. You could see his mind working, "who is this guy, do I have to know him, too?". And what a relief his face showed when I said, "nahh, I just mean the arch ;-)".

Telecommunication



If anybody thinks, my telecommunication equipment (short: cell phone) is a little bit "overstyled", I found a site from a german engineer to look at!

It is a german site and the engineer has time making "impossible things working".
Please click the link and let the pics speak for themselves...

He describes fixing/modifying an old (scrap, now never working in the western civilisation again) telephone! He made it working! Transportable, funktionable and: without a wire!
And everybody of us know the sound when we lift the handset! He did it:-)

"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh"

BBQ



We have the end of April and temperatures in the mid-twenties! So we made the second (and third) BBQ this year. It was a great success and we sat in our jungle til 10 pm or so. On Sunday a tried a new method to light up the barby in a few seconds! Works great, but do this only if you know what you do!

Weather


The last seven weeks we had totally dry and sunny weather. The farmers had problems with their sowings (without water the seed do not sproud)





Last week, from monday to now: I´s raining again....ooohhhOOOOhhhOOOO (Supertramp in the 80´s)
But the advantage is: The green I can see out of my bathroom becomes greener and our jungle becomes darker!
