The mars has been terraformed yet again

This saturday we visited a friend and his family for a boardgame afternoon und we played Terraforming Mars - what else? Still the seventh play was as fun as the six other times before that and there's no end to the enjoyment the game brings me and us.

We then came home rather late and so we just played with the cats and then went to bed.

Friday as usual

This friday I left home for Mariahilf as usual. There I stopped at myMuesli and Planet Harry
to resupply.

Afterwards I went to Temaya for dinner and this time I was on time to order.


Back home the food was divided amongst the hungry and later we went onto the couch to watch tv shows.

Magical Duels

Yesterday after work I went to Planet Harry, because I bought one of his pictures from his art sale and I didn't want to go on the subway with the beauty.

In the evening I tried out the latest Magic: The Gathering expansion Amonkhet on Magic Duels and I find the new concepts rather interesting.

Later we then went onto the couch and watched tv series on BBC.

Magical apples(trudel)

Yesterday after work I went to my parents for dinner and got a very good apple strudel.


Then I went home and out again to pick up the pills for our cats from the local vet - they are running out twice as fast now.

Since my dear had to do stuff for her studies, I played some Magic Duels and entertained the cats in the meantime.

Much later we then went onto the couch from some tv series.

Und die Woche geht dann so weiter:


Marathon? No thanks!

Afterwards we went home again and onto the couch to watch the latest episode of Doctor Who.

Get your free pets now !

This saturday we had dear guests over for boardgaming and so I quickly baked a cake in the morning.

We played just one game, but it was of course Terraforming Mars, and this time around my strategy "each citizen of Mars gets a free pet" finally paid off I won for the first time in six games. But still everyone enjoyed the game very much.

"I'm not a free pet!"

After that our guests were interested in last year's cruise and so we showed them our presentation.

Since it was quite later after that, we just went to bed after our guests have left.

It's a magical place

This friday after work, and a short trip to Fressnapf for cat food, I went to Mariahilf for the weekly shopping trip.

I stopped at myMuesli and Planet Harry and after that went to Temaya for sushi. But unfortunately the shop had already closed and I didn't want to return 2 hours later when it would have reopeend. So on my way home and stopped at Burger King and won't be doing this either for some time again.

In the evening I played the beta version of Mages of Mystralia on Steam and liked it very much.

Since my dear was at the opera, our daily couch evening entertainment had to start later this time.

Happy Easter(monday)

On easter monday we had our second easter feast, this time with my family at Klaghofer.



Again everything tasted great and we went home quite stuffed.

We were in fact so tired that we had to lay down - although our cats wanted to play.

Later we entertained them quite a bit and later still we went onto the couch for the usual tv series evening entertainment.

Busy saturday

On saturday I had a lot to do. In the morning I went grocery shopping for the things we needed during the easter weekend.

Then I went to my parents' house, but on the way I stopped at a friends' to help with her computer troubles. and I brought her the cat calendar for 2017.

At my parents I fixed the next computer troubles, got a nice lunch and changed the tires of our car together with my father.


On my way back home I picked up my dear from her sewing afternoon and once we were home we went onto the couch and watched some tv series - including the latest episode of Doctor Who, which almost slipped by us unnoticed.

At the butcher

This friday we didn't go to Mariahilf at once after lunch, since we had a dinner appointment we stayed longer at home.

Additionally since we didn't want to carry around too much stuff, our shopping trip only consisted of myMuesli and Planet Harry.

After the shop closed we met with the whole staff of Planet Harry at die metzgerei (german for "the butcher") and had a wonderful dinner together.



After that we just went home and into bed.

Freitag, 14. April 2017

Just dead tired

Yesterday after work I just came home and so exhausted that I went to bed for a "short" nap. Even the cats left me alone and so I woke up just in time to go onto the couch and watch some tv series.

Donnerstag, 13. April 2017

Mittagessen

Der Donnerstag gibt auch nicht mehr als eine Pizza her.

Pizza speciale - Tomaten, Schinken, Champions & Salami


LaTeX is (almost) ready

Yesterday I continued my quest for LaTeX and thanks to a (two similar ones actually) hint I now might have a nice solution for the problem which should work also on Windows. I might need to tweak my existing project a bit, but I think I'll manage.

In the evening we then went onto the couch and watched some tv series.

I want LaTeX back!

Yesterday after work I went to my parents for dinner and got a tasyt Kaiserschmarrn with strawberry "salad".


After that I went home and played with the cats. After a disastrous Ubuntu installation - I want to revive my LaTeX installation to write more roleplaying material - I went on the couch frustrated and we watched some tv series.

Mittagessen

Auch heute war die Wahl wieder etwas schwierig.

Bärlauch Risotto, gebratene Hühnerbrust und marinierte Gemüsestreifen


The return of the MasterChefs

Yesterday was a rather normal day at work, but still enough to do that I was rather tired in the evening. So we decided not to do anything special and later just went onto the couch to watch the latest episoded of MasterChef UK.

Mittagessen

Wochenbeginn mit mäßiger Auswahl in der Kantine.

Und so geht es dann die Woche weiter:


Terraforming sunday

This sunday we wanted to sleep longer, but our cats did not. So we had to get up rather at the usual time.



Then we did our chores since we had dear guests in the afternoon for boardgaming.

Of course we played Terraforming Mars again and one could argue I want to play it until I also win one game of that. But in reality it's a very good game with a lot of different aspects to it.

This time the planet was water-less for a rather long time and I don't want to talk about the hygienic situation in the cities. But every household had a pet and my scientists had their own space station in obrit for their research.

After our guests have gone, we went onto the couch and watched some BBC tv series.

A one-time burger

On saturday we went on our weekly visit to Mariahilf. After we paid Planet Harry a visit we went on to have lunch at Schrnk in the form of a burger.


Although the optical aspect of the food was quite pleasing, the taste was not so much and so this will stay a one-time visit there.

After that we took a walk on Mariahilferstrasse and then went home again.

When we arrived our sleepy cats waited for us and were entertained by us.

Later that evening we went onto the couch and started watchign a new show with Dara O'Briain on Dave: Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit. This show is about classical and modern day computer games and celebrities are competing against each other on various titles. At the moment there are only 6 episodes, but it was fun watching the first two of them.

Not the usual friday

This friday after work I didn't go to Mariahilf, instead we met with friends and went out for lunch at Sichuan.


Afterwards we did some grocery shopping and then went home again for boardgaming.

We started with another chapter of Pathfinder, where we beat the boss at the very last moment possible.

After that we went to space and to the red planet in Terraforming Mars. It was very funny again and this time we had a freaking zoo on Mars!

Since the game took quite long, we didn't play anything else and after out guests were gone we just went onto the couch.

The week is getting to it's end

Yesterday after work I was home and conitued to work from there. Later I also entertained the cats, as they were not sure why they were being ignored for so long.

Later we went onto the couch and watched Little Witch Academia and the latest episode of Star Trek Continues.

Und die Woche geht gut zu Ende.

Double Cheese Burger mit Jack Daniels Glace und Pommes Frites

Heute waren wir nicht in der Kantine, sondern haben ordentliche Burger gegessen.


Creative MasterChefing

Yesterday it was meeting time for the creative ladies at our place. While the ladies were being creative I played with the cats and also relaxed a bit.

Later we watched one episode of MasterChef together and after that the ladies left. Since my dear and I were quite tired we went to bed after that without continuing to watch series on the couch as usual.
