Saturday shopping

Yesterday after breakfast we went to Mariahilf for shopping and the first stop was Planet Harry.


After that we went to le Pho for lunch and it was quite delicious.




Back home we relaxed a bit before I continued my Coursera course for Ruby on Rails with MongoDB. The deadline for the whole course is at the end of february, the other deadlines are mere guidelines so that you can plan your time accordingly.

In the evening we watched BBC series, since our japanese guest was out to party.

Lunar New Year - finally some time to do it

This friday the training was also very long, so I just came back home and postponed the weekly shopping trip to Mariahilf to today.

My dear had friends over for roleplaying and in the meantime I played a lot of Guild Wars 2 to finally look at all the news things from the Lunar festival.

Mittagessen

Etwas ungewöhnlich, aber auch am Freitag war ich in der Kantine.

Club Sandwich


Gugelhupf - a worthy bake for the last day of training?

Yesterday after work and training, I went to Fressnapf for food for our pussy-cat. Back home I found a small group of petitioner for said food, so I quickly fed the cats. After that I went shopping for our own food and I then I "made" Cordon Bleu with potato wedges - all from the deep freezer.

After that I baked - for today being the last day of training - a gugelhupf.

While the sweet bake was in the oven we watched the current episodes of The Flash, Arrow and Galavant - and in the end even tasted the baked good and found it to be very good.

Mittagessen

Der Donnerstag bringt

Naturschnitzel vom Schwein mit Spätzle


Vienna by night

Yesterday after work we went out again to meet with other host parents from the AFS. There we could tell our tales but also get some input from the other families.

After that we decided to walk through the inner city and I took some pictures on the way.






Back home we just watched the last episode of Heroes Reborn before it was time for bed.

Das Schnitzel zur Wochenmitte.

Doctor Who's Timetrip

Yesterday, after a much longer training day, I quickly went to my parents for dinner. I got tasty pancakes.


After that I went home and quickly logged through Guild Wars 2 - Lunar festival is back! - and after that we went onto the couch and watched a complete Doctor Who episode from the 70s on BBC. Well, me and pussy-cat slept through most of the episode, but...

Mittagessen

Die Woche geht gut voran.

Schweinsschopfsteak  Mailänder Ar mit Dukatenchips


Cars of the People is here again!

Yesterday was the first day of a stressful week at work with a daily training course. So when I came home I was quite exhausted and just logged through Guild Wars 2 before we went onto the couch for a new episode of James May's Cars of the People.

Mittagessen

Trotz dem dieswöchigen Kurs in der Firma, gibt es heute wieder Essen aus der Kantine.

Rahnrindsschnitzel mit Schupfnudeln


Und so geht's dann weiter.


Relaxing? Well not today...

Yesterday was the relaxing day of th week, but since there were still some unanswered questions regarding the future of our japanese guest, there was not much relaxing going on - except for the cats.


Unfortunately the whole stress and time-consuming factor cost me my recently started Coursera course, there wasn't just enough time to do it in one afternoon. I'm very unhappy about that, since I really wanted to do it. I just hope that very soon the whole thing comes to an end.

Boardgames!

This saturday we had a boardgame afternoon with friends, but before that we went to shop at Interspar. Well packed we went home and after a quick lunch we were on our way.

Although there was some heavy snowstorms going on we made it safely to our friends and then the fun started.

We began with Mysterium. The game - a mix of Dixit and Cluedo - was well received and I as the ghost was especially pleased the my murderer was revealed and put to justice.


The next game was Survive: Space Attack!. The players try to leave a disintegrating space station and reach the nearby wormholes. It was utter chaos but I think the players liked it.


For relaxation we then played a card game called Stich-Meister. It's a simple game until the rules - that are secretly selected by the players each round - kick in. Then it turns to chaos and we managed to keep our sanity intact. It was fun and almost with an open end as to who won.


Since we already played a card game, we opted to play another with The Game, which we easily quite narrowly won.


At the late hours of the day we then turned to a game which required some skill to play - Flick 'em Up!. Lawkeepers and Outlaws had a stand-off in Dodge City twice and each time the Outlaws were more dexterous.


After that it was time for betrayal and intrigue with The Resistance: Avalon. Although the forces of good were successful, in the end the evil guys managed to single out Merlin and won after all.

Finally we entered the world of spycraft with Spyfall - on a smartphone. The honest people of the circus were good, but the spy - yes, it was me - managed to determine the location and won the day.

Since our japanese guest stayed home and had a party with friends, we were quite unsure as to the state of our flat. But surprisingly there was (almost) nothing wrong with the state of the flat and we were quite surprised.

Fridays with a hint of stress

This friday it was time for the shopping tour in Mariahilf again. First sto was at Aida to buy some sweet delight in the form of chestnut tarts for the Planet Harry team.


Next up was myMuesli for restock.


After that it was Planet Harry time - also for restock.


Then my stay at Planet Harry was cut short, since my dear and our japanese guest were unable to enter our flat and so I was on my way home. While still on my way, they finally managed to get into the flat and so I just quickly shopped for food at Natsu.


Back home everyone was fed and after that we - together with a dear friend - watched a lot of still unseen episodes of Scream Queens. Only two more to go until the season final.
