Yet another birthday party

Yet another birthday party, but still for the same birthday of course, but with different people. So we went to Brandauer at Gerngross for the big buffet there.


Unforunately the quality of the food has declined with our recent visits to the restaurant. The lowlight this time was the dessert - chololate-banana pancake casserole. The pancakes tasted quite bad, but the chololate was so strong that you couldn't taste anything else anyway. We are not sure if we want to come back there in the near future. Perhaps it would be best to go to Gschamsten Diener next time, until the food at Brandauer's is adequate to it's price.

On out way home we went to Westbahnhof to restock some of our magazines. At that point it started to rain quite heavily, but we made it home almost dry. Of course we then were greeted by our cats, who wanted to be played with, because it wasn't that hot anymore in the flat.

In the early evening we played some Guild Wars 2 and traded in the festival tokens we collected over the past weeks, since with the beginning of season 2 on tuesday they will be worhtless.

The conclusion of the evening was two old episodes of Top Gear, where the funny trio was trying to find the source of the river Nile in Africa.

And that's how Bubu-bear is looking in the morning whether we are awake or not.

Another birthday

It was a typical saturday, when we have a birthday in the family of my dearie. At first we couldn't sleep very long and then there was some late shopping to do as well. Afterwards we went to the restaurant, where we were eating out for the birthday celebration.


Afterwards it was more eating and drinking back at her place.


After that I went home - with a short shopping interruption at Fressnapf for our cats. My darling went to the class reunion of her old school, from which she came back home quite late. Since we were quite exhausted, we just watched one episode of Top Gear before going to bed.

Mieze-cat when getting up - us not her of course.

Happy Birthday Planet Harry!

Yesterday after work I was home for a short time and left via Mariahilferstrasse soon, because Planet Harry was celebrating it's 12th birthday and there were a lot of bargains. Were was the correct word though, since most of his loyal customers were already there at the opening at 11:00 and bought all the good stuff already. With a bit of luck though I still got a bargain, since once game - that should have been reduced in price - was not with the other bargains. So of course I grabbed that one and satisfied my hunter and collector drive with a successful buy.

Back home my dearie and a dear friend were doing great cake decorations. With the following pictures I think you'll all agree.




In the evening we went on the couch rather soon and watched tv series - Defiance, Hell's Kitchen and old Top Gear episodes.

Bubu-bear has found a box with newspaper in it and claimed it for himself.

Summer party!

Yesterday we had the yearly summer party here at work with a lot of grilled stuff and some nice sweet treats.



Well fed I went home, where my dearie had already baked the cake for her mother's birthday on the weekend. So I did some household chores and soon after that we went onto the couch and at first watch The Starving Games - a The Hunger Games parody movie. Like I expected it was quite swallow humor, but since we didn't pay any cinema tickets to watch it it was fine. After that we watched an old episode of Top Gear before we went to bed - with our cats of course.

The tomcat is looking suspicious, because he's being watched while he tries to sleep. And not only that, it's a huge eye watching him!

Mittagessen

Die kulinarische Kantinenwoche ist fast um und so gibt es nur noch eine Speiseauswahl.

Birthdays all around

Yesterday morning a colleague of mine brought some sweets, since he had a birthday on Sunday - cake pops, manufactured by his wife.


In the afternoon it started to pour, of course just in time when I was getting home.


Back home I was greeted by two cats who wanted to be fed and played with. Once this was done I finished the Guild Wars 2 festival achievements for my dearie, so that season 2 can come and we have done everything for this festival. Afterwards I watched the current episode of Crossbones and then one from 24 - Live Another Day. Since my sweetie was coming home very late again we went straight to bed and didn't watch any more tv series episodes.

Today another colleague has a birthday, which means more sweet stuff in the kitchen for us to eat:


And this is the continuation of yesterday's pictures - the couch seen from the other side:
