Steam sale is on!

Yesterday I was at my parents' for dinner and I got very tasty pancakes.


After that I went home just to go out and do some shopping.

Afterwards I played a bit of Guild Wars 2 and then looked at the beginning Steam christmas sale. Unfortunately not everything I hoped to be on sale actually went on sale, so I'll wait a few days before buying the odd game.

In the evening we watched BBC series before it was time for bed.

Plans for the christmas holidays

Yesterday I went with our japanese guest to buy train tickets for his christmas trips. It went quite ok and after that I went home and he went out to meet with friends.

After some guild missions in Guild Wars 2 we went onto the couch and watched some BBC series including the latest QI.

Die letzte Arbeitswoche des Jahres hat begonnen und heute gab es das in der Kantine.

Gebratenen Leberkäse mit Petersilienkartoffel


Und so geht's dann weiter.


Star Wars weekend

Yesterday we got invited by the lovely Planet Harry to a private screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Haydn cinema.

I don't want to spoil the story, but we really liked the movie and we hope that this is a new hope for a return of the jedi to strike back at the empire (pun intended).

After that we went to the recently opened Kojiro 3 to eat japanese. We really liked the food, but the price was adequate as well - so not very cheap.


Later we walked around the inner district of the city and dropped off our japanese guest at the national history museum and we went home in the meantime.

In the evening we then watched two cook/bake-shows on BBC before we went to bed.

Boardgaming again

This saturday we were invited to distant friends of ours to look at their new pug and later to play some boardgames.

These were: 7 Wonders: Duel (2x), Takenoko, Straw, MammuZ (2x) and Concept.

I think everyone was enjoying it and we went home with a lot of loot gifts - thanks again for that!

The usual friday

This friday it was business as usual. After lunch I went to Mariahilf for shopping. The stops this time were myMuesli, Planet Harry, Cornwall Pasty Pirates and Natsu.

Well packed with stuff and food I came home, where the cats waited for me. So we all ate fish together and after that I spent the rest of the evening playing Guild Wars 2, since my dear was out playing roleplaying games and our japanese guest was out with friends.

Happy anniversary!

Yesterday we celebrated our anniversary by going out.

First we went to Die Burgermacher for a quite good ... well .. burger.


After that we went through the inner city to the Hard Rock Cafe for cocktails and a brownie.



In the end I also sat down on the famous chair/throne, to get my picture taken.


When we came home it was quite late already so we just watched the mid season finale of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., took a quick look inside Guild Wars 2 before we went to bed.

Wintersday and couch

Yesterday was a quite evening. After some Wintersday festival in Guild Wars 2 it was couch time with some BBC series.

Mittwoch, 16. Dezember 2015

Mittagessen

Das Schnitzel der Woche ist dran.

Schweinsschnitzel mit Beilage nach Wahl


Wintersday has arrived!

Yesterday was the presentation of the results from my last stay at the sleeping lab and it looks quite ok for now. Then I went home and worked from there for the rest of the day, until we went with our advisor from AFS about our japanese guest.

On our way home we got dinner at Leberkas Pepi and when we were home our guest wanted to see the latest Transformers movie. So while he and my dear did that I tried out the newly release Wintersday festival in Guild Wars 2, but there were way too many people - who wanted to do just that as well - so I was not very happy about it. So it's time to check it out later today.

A perfect waste of a day

Yesterday it was quite stressful at work, so I tried - after a short shopping trip - to regenerate at home, which worked to a certain extend.

Later we watched Arrow on Hulu before we went to bed.

Mittagessen

Wochenbeginn und gleich was Deftiges.

Und mit diesen Speisen geht es dann den Rest der Woche weiter.


Spa day - almost at home

Yesterday we spent the whole day at the spa Oberlaa, since we each still got a coupon from last year. So we relaxed the whole day and we really enjoyed it.

Relaxation starts now...

A first small snack

A giant beef burger for lunch

A snack in the afternoon

In the evening we were quite exhausted so we just sat on the couch and wached two episodes of MasterChef: The Professionals.

Helping friends in need (of an internet connection)

This saturday we slept longer - at least those who didn't feed the cats. After being already up I then just did my dailies in Guild Wars 2.

Later we went out shopping and in the afternoon we did another vacation planning session with our japanese guest. We just hope that he did get all the things right and there's not yet another big question session about this.

In the evening we got a visit from Herold, who wanted to update his Dragon Age: Inquisition, so that he could play all the DLCs he bougth with the game of the year edtion. This time around it looked as if it actually worked and so he went home happy. When he was gone we just played some Guild Wars 2, before it was bed time for us.

Fridays - as always a shopping experience

This friday it was a classical shopping afternoon in Mariahilf. This time I wanted to pick up our japanese guest after school. But since he didn't read the WhatsApp message after he was home and didn't read his SMS message at all, I went on to shop in Mariahilf on my own.

The shopping stops were at myMuesli and Planet Harry - where I got a large supply of new Star Trek Attack Wing ships.

After that it was time for food - as always from Natsu and some pastry for breakfast from Blutaumüller.

Back home I was greeted by the cats, who demanded their share of the loot. After they got it, we were finally allowed to eat ourselves.

In the evening we wanted to play some Guild Wars 2, but we were too exhausted and so it was couch time with the most recent BBC episodes of QI and MasterChef: The Professionals.

The weekend is near

Yesterday it was quite evening with the last episode of The Flash before the winter break and one episode of MasterChef: The Professionals.

The sick are rising again

Yesterday I was at my parents' for dinner and I got - among other food - some delicious tiramisu.


Back from at the sickbay our japanese was getting better. And while he was slurping his soup I was managing stuff in Guild Wars 2.

Later we went onto the couch and watched BBC series.

Mittagessen

Und so geht es den Rest der Woche - also morgen - weiter.


One day off is better than one day at work

Yesterday there was no work, so we could sleep longer.

We didn't want to leave the flat either, so we stayed home and I baked together with our japanese guest. Later I introduced him to Guild Wars 2 and later that afternoon I played some more with my dear.

In the evening our guest was feeling bad and now he's lying in bed with what we think might be stomach flu. We still watched the current episode of The Mysteries of Laura and a BBC documentary about Ireland though, before we went to bed.

One day work, one day off

This monday it was a quiet, although not totally lonely, day at work - thanks for the following day off.

In the evening, at home, I went to shop for a bit and later spent the evening in Guild Wars 2.

Later, when everyone was back home, we went onto the couch for the usual watching of series - namely the mid-season finale of Once Upon A Time.

Time for a walk

Yesterday we went - after sleeping long and having a great breakfast - for a walk through the autumn colors of nearby park Oberlaa. Ein few impressions are here, while the rest of the album can be viewed here.





Back home we had a quick snack with the bought sweets from the confectionery at Oberlaa and after that I relaxed in Guild Wars 2.

Later that evening we started watching The Librarians, which is quite a cheap tv series, but since there are only 10 episodes we will continue watching it.

Sonntag, 6. Dezember 2015

Quiet saturday

Yesterday I was home alone, since my dear went to av advent market with friends and our japanese guest has a christmas camp. So I took care of my self and the cats - yes, we all still are alive! - and spent the day doing chores, shopping and playing Guild Wars 2.

Loot - sampled "some" of the supermarkets craft beers

In the evening, when all were back again, we watched Arrow and Mysteries of Laura, followed by the last episode of the season of Doctor Who.

Hasty friday

It was shopping friday in Mariahilf again, but this time there was less time, since dinner had to be on time, before people were leaving again. So I stopped shortly at Planet Harry for the waves 19 and 20 of Star Trek Attack Wing and after that it was time to get the food from Natsu and Blutaumüller.

My dear went roleplaying and our japanese went to the opera with my mother-in-law. So I spent the evening with The Grey doing guild missions in Guild Wars 2.

Furios times

Yesterday we again had a small catastrophy since our japanese guest thought he had lost his/our key to the flat. After some time searching he finally found it amongst his chaos, but his carelessness and the lack of enthusiasm to find the key angered me quite a bit, so I couldn't talk to him for the rest of the evening.

After a short session in Guild Wars 2 we went onto the couch and wacthed the most recent episode of The Flash, and after that we watched Have I Got a Bit More News For You on BBC before we went to bed quite exhausted.

Mittagessen

Endlich gibt's wieder Burger!

Boardgames during the week

Yesterday at work we had our traditional christmas market in the parking lot, including some punsch. After spending some time there, I went home.

After dinner we sat together with our japanese guest and we played some boardgames. We played The Hare & the Tortoise twice and einmal Machi Koro once. He seemed to have liked it and I think we will continue playing some games with him.

Later it was time for tv series and we watched two episodes of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. before we went to bed dead tired.

Shopping trip at IKEA

Yesterday after work we went to SCS and spent most of the time at IKEA.

Of course we found plenty of stuff to buy and the trunk of the car was nearly full on our way back home.

In the evening we watched the most recent episodes of The Flash, Arrow and Mysteries of Laura before it was time for bed.

Viele interessante Sachen, aber nur eins wirklich für mich zum Essen.

Advent calendar time

Yesterday I was at my parents for dinner and it was some very tasty Kaiserschmarrn.


Back home I finished the upgrade of Windows 10 on my PC and tried out some games - so far everything is working fine.

After that my dear and me went to Guild Wars 2 and did two guild missions, so that the guild hall improvements can go on.

After that it was couch time while our japanese guest was at the cinema with his class. Meanwhile we watched an episode of The Mysteries of Laura and two episodes of Once Upon A Time.

Just a small thing for last, it's december again and this means it time for the annual cat advent calendar. Have fun!
