Monika...

... is swimming in ice-cold water... it was about 14 degrees "warm"

Work, work, work...

I guess that's what working life is all about - work, work, work! :)

Every week I live for my weekends - awaiting two days of relaxation, enjoying the weather and possibly spending some time with Clemens who is still serving at the border. Luckily this is his last week - he'll be back home Thursday night.

If Clemens is not home, I try to visit friends and family whom I haven't had the time to see in a long time. Two weeks ago, I went to visit my cousin Michaela on the beautiful lake Traunsee. We strolled around the lake in the afternoon, went out for cocktails in the evening and had breakfast at the lake again the next morning. Way to spend a weekend!!

Just yesterday I then returned from Germany, where I visited my other Cousin, Monika. We spent Saturday afternoon at a little creek on a sandbank - until a thunderstorm ended the afternooh aprubtly. An Oktoberfest-Style party was the big happening in the evening - all boys in Lederhos'n and many girls in Dirndl-dresses. This typical bavarian way to party amazes me again and again...

So much for the news from the past few weeks. I have become lazy with posting on my blog - but I'll try to post more frequently again in the future!
