hike












Two weeks ago, I went hiking in Styria with my parents, my brother Bernhard and Stephan.
It was a wonderful day. My mum and I had our birthday dinner at Pogusch – see here.

late afternoon








Late afternoon beer with Stephan at Do-An. The market stands were already closing down.
Have you already tried Oblaten from Karlovy Vary? You can buy them in Vienna, too!

saturday










I went to the farmer's market on Saturday and it turned me joyful immediately. Although I missed Stephan a lot. I bought apples, delicious goat gouda, different types of squash and other vegetables. I couldn't resist buying flowers, too.

I paged through old newspapers and magazines.

Être et avoir is a lovely and touching documentation of a one-room school in Auvergne. The perfect movie for my new beginning. This is what teaching is about.

linz 09
















Linz is European Capital of Culture this year – see this and this.
I have two good old friends, Barbara and Veronika, who have lived there. That's why I have been to this city very often.
I very much enjoyed exploring the changes together with Veronika and Stephan. And our fika at Gragger. I had a piece of Linzertorte. 2014, I'll be in Umeå.

Yesterday, I saw The Queen. I loved it, Helen Mirren's just great. So is the landscape of Scotland.

Have a nice weekend! It's my last before I'm attending school again.

candido




An ice cream parlor in Vienna. Candido Bertó! Beautiful name.
Too bad that I cannot try his ice cream. His shop is closed. For a long time, I think.
And I haven't eaten enough ice cream this summer! And summer is over now...

I'm home alone. I'm missing Stephan.
Yesterday, I watched Så som i himmelen.

Somewhere in the countryside.

late summer












Some photos I took at the Kamaldulenserhof, where our Kräftskiva took place.
This spot is located in Sievering, a suburb of Vienna with viniculture and old farmhouses.

A song for today.

Enjoy this Sunday! We have such beautiful late summer weather here!

25












Our kitchen table. This is where I spend much time.
And I baked an apple strudel. I took the recipe from an old school cookbook that should help educating "the
perfect housewife" (this is what the cover says!). Here's the recipe (I used less sugar, no raisins...
I always modify recipies).

Yesterday, I had an ambivalent birthday. It started with a funeral. But later on, I had a great time.
Life can be weird sometimes. Stephan and I had lunch at the new Vapiano and walked through Vienna's old
town centre. In the evening, we went out with Leni, Babsi, Bernd and Christoph. I got an interesting book
I want to read soon. My brother Bernhard gave me a book set in Vienna, too. Thank you so much!

tot ziens
















These are the last photos I took in the Netherlands.
This was two months ago!
After enjoying sushi, salmon and king prawns from Simonis, we had our last breakfast in a beautiful flat.
I'm looking forward to my next holidays. It will take some time.

Have a nice evening!
