A few days in the mountains

I spent the last few days with Heidi in Alpl, which in the center a rather remote valley in upper styria named the “Waldheimat” (ca. Home in the forests). They were not joking about the forests there. There really is forest, forest and forest (but no cellphone reception)
We stayed at a Wellness/Family hotel and enjoyed the calm, the clean air, the massages and the sauna. We did some walks (in the rain), picked wild berries and mushrooms. Perfect days to relax.
And today we finished off with a hike on top of the Raxalpe. (The images are from that trip) Great weather (not too hot, not too cold) and a great view (as far as the Neusiedler Lake and Hungary).

Well. No interesting2008 for me.

The tickets for Russell Davies’ interesting2008 conference went on sale today 9am GMT. This should be an interesting thing again. But not for me. Tickets were sold out in less than 3 hours, when I got around to log in from work. Sigh.

Herr der Ringe Konzert

Herr der Ringe Konzert in der Grazer Stadthalle

Gestern waren wir beim Herr der Ringe Konzert in der Grazer Stadthalle. (Die Eintrittskarten waren Heidis Weihnachtsgeschenk für mich) Die Warschauer Sinfoniker spielten Howard Shores Soundtrack für die Filmtrilogie. Es gibt nur wenige Dinge, die besser und kraftvoller klingen als ein 200 Personen Orchester. Sehr schön.

Weekend Activities: Walk in the Alps

Spent the weekend in Salzburg. First of all, to meet Lisl and Sameel with whom we had stayed in Brisbane. It was so nice to see them again. On Sunday we took the opportunity of fabulous sunny weather for a hike up the Nockstein near Salzburg with Heidi’s parents. We were rewarded with a beautiful panorama of the Northern Alps.This is one of the really nice things about Austria. Heidi and I renewed our vow to get out in the mountains more often.And we found mushrooms while walking. It has been a while since I found so many. That was a perfect dinner for five people.

Floating Ideas on my birthday

We went to dinner at Midori. Pretty neat asian place beneath the Schlossberg. Miso soup, noodles. Very nice.Best thing though was the lamps above the corner tables. Lots of notes attached to the lamps. Many ideas, quotes, poems, maybe shopping lists in a multitude of different languages.

Weekend activities. This week: Boiler replacement.

The total lack of warm water and the recent drop in temperature forced us to replace our warm water boiler. With the professional help of Herbert and Stephan. The DIY heart of mine jumps with joy and pride looking at our new archievement. However, the soup we retrieved from our old boiler was quite a view. To think that we washed ourselves with this and felt clean afterwards…
