Yesterday was a great day, by sunshine standards. The sky was a spotless blue, and it seemed like the perfect day to go to the park, have some ice-cream and simply enjoy life. Well, we spent it in a train-compartment the size of an average shoe box. Fortunately I was lucky enough to pack my camera, so at least I was able to record that clear sky for posterity:
Being with the family is nice though.
Tomorrow we’re off for Easter to see the family and enjoy another of those infamous feasts consisting of eggs, candy and loads of meat. To celebrate that occasion, here’s the link to my first Photo Phriday, which was shot I think four three years ago (praise my girlfriend for her memory!) during the Easter holidays. See you on the other side!
I’ve received a lot of spam over the years, but this one came equipped with an unbelievable poem. How the hell do they randomly produce masterpieces like that?

Well, today we finally bought a washing-machine. I don’t know about you, but buying a washing-machine with your loved one is showing a lot more commitment than getting married. You can always get divorced, but you can’t split a washing machine.
Of course we had to buy some additional equipment in order to plug in that monstrosity, so we went to the nearest home-improvement store. In addition to a vast amount of things no sane person would ever buy, let alone try to use in a sensible way to improve a home with, they also sported some kind of bakery. And that’s where I shot this very photo:
In case you’re wondering, it’s a loaf of bread shaped like a pig. The catch is that it’s not really bread, but ham wrapped in bread. So the pig shape really makes sense. If they hadn’t priced it at 10 Euros I’d have bought it. Just for the sake of it.
It’s that time of the year again. No, I’m not talking about Christmas, because even I know that Christmas is over. I’m not talking about Easter either, although it’s at our doorstep. No, I’m talking about that time of the year when even the industrial-strength shades on my windows aren’t able to block all the sunshine that’s being spilled into Vienna, resulting on spots and streaks of bright light criss-crossing my monitor. This is bad on two accounts: One, because I can’t see anything on my monitor, causing me to either quit working on the computer or trying to cover up the parts of my window which are not covered by the shades. None of these options are realistic. The second thing is, that my sunny monitor reminds me of the fact that indeed there’s nice weather out there, and instead of spending my days in front of the computer, I should go out, soak up some sun and be a happy and content being. But that would involve leaving the apartment for no apparent reason, and as you all know, that is not an option. It’s a dilemma really, but only as long as there aren’t any clouds, and I think one has just come up. So let’s hope it’s all over soon.
