Analogue Sunday yesterday: no nothing on the computer.
This should become a habit.
Herr der Ringe Konzert
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.
Happy Birthday
Don’t you get bored after 30 birthdays?A day like any other.Except for the Birthday Muffin in the morning.And the phone calls, messages, E-Mails.
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…

Some like it warm on summer evenings
Another highlight of summers in Graz: Film classics at Franziskanerplatz. This years seris started with „Some like it hot“. Still a hilarious comedy after all those years. Fun times.
Did I mention that the showings are free? Just take a seat. Wonderful warm evening. Photo is borrowed from Metroblogging Graz because the dog ate my camera.
Relaxed Working
This is me (my feet) at Starbucks Vienna. Using some extra time between meetings for the finishing touches for my presentation at Lowe GGK. They happen to be 50 metres up the road from Starbucks. How convenient.
