Mandurah#2 - And... Scary?!

Mural taken under "supervision" of our dear Monday Mural host in Mandurah 😇
I hope for all rainbows and happiness, I might end up with...
 
 
If I got it right the artist is Karen Miller.
 
 
What will we be up to today? 

Help me, please!!!! 
Ingo told me into it. Two years ago I talked it through with a  friend and she said, if you fear to get scared, say no.
Yet. Tonight: Freo Prison Torchlight Tour.
Ingo got me an extra torchlight and long before I knew I bought and will wear this T-Shirt:
 

 Please... there are no ghosts, right???? Supernatural is but a series, right?

 Hope to be back...
 
Addendum. I checked. Those night tours in prison only Wednesday and Friday.
I checked a tad late, huh????
 
Hostel might be booked out, We live in Madeley and Freo is far away.
Wrote an e-mail and our dear host calls them, too, maybe we can re-book. 
ALAS!!!

Do Not Judge Me...


This is for ...
 
 
 
Nicole´s Sunday and yes. I bought this. And no, this is no room but our lovely porch in Madeley!
 
Also... In my defense...
a) my Dad was a watch-maker
b) sadly Thingz seems to close so they throw out everything super-cheap.
OK....
Also c) it makes me smile.
d) You can put something in the suitcase in the back. 
 
Dad would yell at me for buying this. To me it´s... "art"!

Have a quiet one... enjoy...

Hi From Perth Zoo?


So we went to Perth Zoo. On a coolish day. 
Clever, huh?
 
I mean... 2019 it was HOT. Signs all around: "animals may hide in the shade". 
And sure they did.
 
2025, January, Hanover. Too cold, Animals hid inside.
 
Now? Not too hot, but huuuuumid! Animals hid. Even that statue hid in shade and we were but tired, so I join ...
 

 Eileen rather with this (from FB)
 

Much cuter, huh?

I´m A Cheapie

I had maybe a quarter or less from this super-yum-stuff for dinner yesterday.
It was AU$ 1.
I never saw that in Germany ... with butter!!! You can even chose double-butter!
In Germany you have sweet or salty. 
 
Stopped the clock after 11 922 steps. At least over 10 000!
 
It was a great day in the city - as said I am sitting here with a tablet Ingo thankfully connected to a keypad so I can type but pics are to come when we´re sadly back in Germany where I have my tower-PC and two monitors and a proper program. From... early 2000´s... 
 
How about you???
 
Since 2002 I have two huge monitors and have a hard time having this tiny thingy. 
 
Just let me tell you: The skyline from Kings Park has changed a lot but the CBD... same ole charmy same! And no. I did not give the wishing well another chance.
 
And for those asking: Onion-cake pics here. With flowers from dear W...

 Today warm and off to a swim at Hillarys hopefully!!!

Let´s Get Shaped!

Anyone wants to join? 
It´s rather ridiculous - I have so much trouble eating but food and cooking and baking is so fascinating to me! 
 
When back in Braunschweig I promised W an onion and an apple cake. And I have to cause... he´s looking forward to it. 
Onion I did before and he gobbled it down, apple will be a first! 
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2
