Hello beer friends, here is my post to 
The #BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 369
Last week, I had a beer while sweating and assembling a bed that arrived in parts, and this week I had a beer while replacing the faucet in the kitchen. What a country Germany really is, the land of beer and DIY. I like Germany as a Beer & DIY fan 😊
However, I was frustrated about this week's work. Because this kitchen was bought from a previous resident, and it has been giving us a lot of troubles; we knew one of the stoves wouldn't work, but the dishwasher broke, the oven went bad, the shelves collapsed, and this week one of the pipes pipes connected to the water supply leaked ... 😭
Yesterday the tools I ordered arrived and I replaced the faucet. First time in my life. I think I've never had chance to do this if I were in Japan. Do you know a water faucet looks like this?
My partner shared a beer with me, probably feeling pity, as I was sweating and working under the sink. He is German, but he rarely does this kind of work. It is my job to install the lights, fix bikes, and set up the dishwasher. I am tempted to say, “You are a German man ...,” but I am afraid that he might say, “Aren't you a Yamato Nadeshiko?” (Yamato Nadeshiko is a term used in Japan to describe the idealized traditional Japanese woman), “You are a woman, but you are so much rough about childcare" etc etc. I finished my work solemnly.
Today's beer was from an Austrian brewery called Gösser, whose Radler (lemonade beer) is very good. My partner and I met in Austria, and every year we buy several bottles of Gösser beer and think fondly of our good old days in Austria.
Anyways, cheers to my successful DIY job!
Please make no breakdowns, our kitchen ... at least this year. Although I want to replace the stove and the oven ... My DIY life in Germany goes on 😉
Happy Beer Saturday 🍻

The #BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 369
先週はパーツで届いたベッドを汗だくになりながら組み立ててビールを飲み、今週は台所の水道を取り替えてビールを飲みました。本当になんてまあドイツはなんてビールとDIYの国なんでしょう。私は物を作るのが好きなので合っています。
しかし、今週の作業には怒りも。というのも、このキッチンは前の住人から買ったもので、トラブル続きなのです。買った時点でコンロが一つつかないのはしっていましたが、食洗機が壊れ、オーブンの調子が悪くなり、今年に入って棚が崩落し、今週は水道につながるパイプから水漏れ・・・😭
昨日注文していた工具が届いて、蛇口を取り替えました。人生で初めて！こんなふうに抜けるんですね。
汗だくになってシンクの下に潜って作業する私をあわれに思ったのか、相方がビールを分けてくれました。そう、うちの相方はドイツ人ですが、ほとんどこういう作業をしません。電気をつけるのも、自転車を直すのも、食洗機を設置するのも私の仕事です。ドイツ人の男のくせに・・・と言いたくなりますが、「日本人の女は大和撫子じゃないんかい」「女のくせに子育て下手くそすぎてびっくりする w」と言われるかも、なんて。粛々と作業を終えました。
本日のビールは、オーストリアのGösser（ゲッサー）というメーカーのビールで、ここのRadler（レモネードビール）はとてもおいしいのです。相方とはオーストリアで知り合ったこともあり、毎年何本かこのメーカーのビールを買ってオーストリア時代を懐かしく思います。
何はともあれ無事交換が終わった蛇口に乾杯！
キッチンよ、しばらく故障なしでがんばってね。ああでもオーブン都コンロを取り替えたい・・・。ドイツでのDIYライフは続きます。
みなさんよいBeer Saturdayとよい週末を！
