    I was just minding my own business, playing around on my land, when a bunch of zombie noobs appeared out of nowhere!  🧟‍♂️ 🤯

    I'm sort of a noob as well, I thought we could be friends, but noooo!  They ate my alt!  I had no choice but to destroy them all, mercilessly.

    They were no match for my ASP rifle.


    I really had a lot of fun with this,  I splurged a bit on the marketplace today, buying them.  I wanted a zombie fighting game, and got one.  Otherwise most of the day has been spent building, I purchased a bunch of things from Anna Erotica, including this avatar (and gun).  I think shooting zombies was the highlight of it.  

     

     

    That looks like sooo much fun. I am a fan of fighting games especially killing zombies.  If you ever want some company fighting off zombies I'm your girl.  I'll have to get my avatar some fighting gear though. Where's the best place to suit up?

    I have been doing a little bit of furnishing today, although the majority of the day has been spent fishing and hanging out in Bellisseria.  I decided to rent some land because I now have formed some weird addiction to SL home ownership 😃

     

    I love my castle 💖🏰✨  I think it is an older model, but I still really like it :)

    I love your Castle.

    Busy-busy in RL, but had a chance to log in for a while and chatted with Rhonda and Clover at the Hangout.

    This looks like a really nice place to hang out with friends. Where is it located?  P.S.  I've noticed you take nice pictures. Something I'm still working on. lol

    Auntie Winnie on the Schloßbrücke (or Castle Bridge), "with F," as the note on the back of the photograph indicates. The picture is not dated, but couldn't have been taken before the end of 1927, because the bridge was (or so Wikipedia tells me!) under repair for most of that year. It's hard to be certain but, to judge again by my aunt's appearance, this was most likely taken in the spring or summer of 1928.

    My aunt had, by this point, found part-time employment with the German postal service at a postamt (postal station) near Alexanderplatz. Here, her fluency in English and her growing competence in German were particularly valued, as the station was frequented by foreign visitors to the city, the vast majority of whom arrived in the city through the train station there. It proved, apparently, to be a good job, and she did well there; in 1930 her position was made permanent. She remained in that service until her departure from Germany two years later.

    In fact, though, in her first few months in Germany, Winnie had some difficulty finding a position anywhere. Her skills as a stenographer might, of course, have been of value, had her skills in German been more advanced. She was very fortunate in her choice of landlady, Frau Becker, who was well connected in the neighbourhood, and set up Winnie to take in laundry from the such local middle class households not quite wealthy enough to employ their own maid to do the job. Not only did Frau Becker drum up business for my great great aunt, but she also provided the sink, water, iron, and laundry line for Winnie to use, as my aunt's simple bedsit had no water supply of its own. The income Winnie gained from this was pretty meager, but it did at least mean that she was not eating away at her savings as quickly as she otherwise might have. In any case, she seems to have managed reasonably well until she at last secured the postal job.

    I'm not at this point sure who this "F" who was on the bridge with her (and, I assume, took the picture?) might be: this is her -- or his? -- first appearance in the journal.

    This is a very nice picture, well done.
