Round And Round We Go #5

Saturday we went on the Ferris Wheel again.
Still summer-weather, but very windy.
 
 
I was glad when it was over, the whole thing was shaking and making strange noises. 
Never again on a windy day...
 
 
I clung on - Ingo wanted to make a movie - he is much better than me, but his cam died and he cannot work mine. And I just didn´t dare to let go of the bars of that tiny thing.
 
A drink beforehand might´ve helped 😉 
 
Henry 🦁


Kids had fun, though!
 
Oh, and one word to last post: It wasn´t Siemens who "fired" me via snail mail. On the contrary!
 
 

 
My Siemens teamleader was sad and also was there in person when Ingo and I brought back the hardware.
It was the company that hired me who threw me out like that.
And my Siemens-teamleader even was happy I´ll go to Alstom - actually a real rival in business. He was happy I found another good job so fast.
No bad words about Siemens, right, dear host?

I've been on a ferris wheel on a windy day and It's really much better without the wind.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes. All I can say, LOL! Also the noises, clack-clac-clack, WHAT IS THIS?!

I think you are brave to go on a ferris wheel, let alone when it is windy! I'd need a drink BEFORE and AFTER! Have a happy day :)

Iris Flavia said...

I had an ice-cream after, LOL!!! And I was hungry, too!
To a happy day - a new week :-)

Nice mural Iris, the guy on the left looks like Leornardo DiCaprio.
The gate is beautiful too :)
I wouldn't go on the ferris wheel with or without a drink, lol.
We can't complain about Siemens either.
Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.

Iris Flavia said...

Sami, yes, I thought so, too - but who is the other guy?
Ingo said the ferris wheel in Freo is as tall, so reckon I´ll have to go... after a visit to Little creatures - and if there is no wind!

CJ Kennedy said...

The guy on the right is Leonardo DiCaprio, too. On the left, he's the Great Gatsby not sure what movie character he is on the right. Seems Leonardo toasting has become a meme. I'll skip the ride on the Ferris wheel especially if it shakes, rattles, and rolls.

Nice mural, especially after CJ explained who they were. No ferris wheel for me. I get sick on those things.

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, yes I thought it´s him! But the other...? Poor man, no one knows him.
Yep. Never in windy weather again!

Elizabeth I just was scared. Not that that is better! ;-)

Tom said...

...a toast to you Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom :-)

Sorry I messed up about the Seimens letter. And I'm glad you conquered or at least tried to conquer your fears on the Ferris wheel. I'm trying to figure out who the man on the left side of your mural is. If he is anyone in particular that is. Happy new week Iris. Hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Erika, no worries!
It´s maybe like Ingo says, I´m not good in explaining!
The company who fired me via snail mail I heard bad things of from Ingo, my T and ESE.
We learn as we go right...
I just didn´t want Siemens look bad and thought maybe others got it the way you did.

Off to the balcony, now!

I really don't dare to go into a giant wheel. You're a hero. And Ik think I like the mural

RedPat said...

No ferris wheels for me.

I hate rides, too scary. Hope you keep your job. It's a nice set up in your home. Good luck. Gigi hawaii

kathyinozarks said...

William Kendall said...

Henry looks dismayed.

Wonderful photos. I am not a Ferris wheel person no matter what the weather.
