More things are getting done

Yesterday I finally finished my registration with social services and the rest of the day was also rather successful at Planet Harry.

In the evening I went to my parents for dinner and got some tasty pancakes.


Later I went out with my dear and we dd a walk at the nearby Böhmische Prater, so our bodies were rather happy as well to be looked after.

The conclusion of the day was again sitting on the couch and watching tv shows - The Great British Bake Off is back!

The cruise presentation is coming along quite fine

This sunday we finished our chores and in the afternoon we sorted through our pictures from the last cruise, so that now it's possible to finish the presentation for our friends and families. So in the near future we weill start inviting people to watch the presentation with us. In the evening we have chosen a movie from the Netflix archive to watch and it was The Martian with Matt Damon - nice entertainment with some unnecessary complications.

Work week finished great

This friday was also a great day at work and additionally I seem to have fixed our internet upgrade problem and we get a visit from UPC soon - hopefully they know who to install a new line in our shop.

In the evening we went onto the couch as usual, this time at a much cooler temperature thanks to the recent rain.

Success at work

Yesterday was a quite successful day at work. I finally made progress with the tax office and I acquired a new printer for our shop. Also the creation of the item list in our cash register is going at a steady pace - I love it when a plan comes together!

In the evening we went onto the couch and watched tv show together as always.

Back to work

Yesterday was rather exhausting day at work with some throwbacks. The upgrade of our internet access is on hold, since the new line could not be installed due to some problems with the tubes in the wall. I'm still waiting on feedback to get my new number for my tax statement and the SVA (social security) contacted me that I sent them the wrong application and now I have to fill out a 4 pages long questionnaire about my work and expected income.

In the evening the Massive Darkness group played at out place and I just needed to relax.

Back from the spa vacation

We are back from our spa vacation in Bad Blumau and here are some impressions from our stay.






On our way home we stopped at Zotter and bought some chocolate supply for ourselves. When we were back home the cats greeted us and were very happy - although my parents did a great job taking care of them.


In the evening it was couch time with some tv shows again before we went to bed exhausted.

Off to our next vacation!

Yesterday was a very successful business day and that's why I was rather exhausted at the end of it.

Back home we just went onto the couch and watched some tv shows before we went to bed.

Today we start our second vacations this year - this time we are going to the spa resort Bad Blumau to relax. So the next few days there won't be any updates in the blog.

Boardgaming again

Yesterday we did another boardgame afternoon this weekend. An ex-colleague of mine with his lovely girlfriend paid us a visit and we played a lot of games: Azul, Star Trek: Catan, Takenoko, Skull King, Las Vegas and finally Lovecraft Letter.

After that many games we had to end the day and after they were gone we just went onto the couch for some tv shows.

LEGO minifigs

Yesterday was a normal but rather successful although very hot day at work. Therefor we had a deal for our customers, that they would get a free drink at a nearby restaurant if they showed them their recipe. And many of our customers loved the idea and got their drink.

When I came back home in the evening the first thing was to take a shower and then we watched our usual tv shows on the couch.

Since I also went to the LEGO store yesterday, I had to buy some of the new minifigs since they are all about Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts .

Something nice for dinner

Yesterday I left work early to go to my parents for dinner and I got some tasty apple pancake.


After that I went home and since I was home earlier than usual I did some chores and played with the cats before we went onto the couch to watch some tv shows.

Bureaucracy all the way

Yesterday before I went to work I visited the local tax office. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get all things done, so I'll need to come back later.

After work I went home and then we only went onto the couch and watched some tv shows.

Film Review: Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Yesterday we went to the movies with our usual clique and we watched the latest Tom Cruise film Mission: Impossible - Fallout.


The story is once again that the world is in danger, Mr. Cruise is the only one to help with that and he gets betrayed by the people he trusts and in the end the world is saved or not.

Well, this sounds like any other movie from the Mission: Impossible franchise. The difference is only in the locations and stunts.

This time though the story tried to tie in story elements from previous movies of the franchise and I have to admit I could not follow most of them - that's how memorable the previous movies actually were.

Conclusion: a lot of action, a broken ankle on Mr. Cruise's part and many logical errors - the perfect summary of a summer action blockbuster

IT upgrade successfully installed

Yesterday I was at Planet Harry and improved upon the IT infrastructure. The only thing that didn't go as planned was a rebellious power outlet and after about 8 hours work everything was done and I was exhausted.

So in the evening it was once again just couch and tv shows for us and today I've got really sore muscles.

Vacation picture shuffle

This saurday we were lazy and stayed home to relax. We got up later and then just went grocery shopping.

Because of the high temperatures we stayed in our colder living room and in the evening started sorting through our pictures from the last vacation. So it's now only a matter of time before I can finish up a presentation and our first guests will be able to enjoy it.

In the evening it was couch surfing with my dear and some tv shows.

Second day


Yesterday was my second day as entrepreneur, but it was shorter than the day before. The current weather situation got to me and so I had to go home early and lay down for quite a bit.

Later that evening we just watched one episode of a tv show before finally going to bed.

Donnerstag, 2. August 2018

The future has begun


Yesterday was my first work day as an self-employed entrepreneur and it was very successful but also rather stressful. Many customers of Planet Harry welcomed my very friendly and asked about our vacation month (the shop was closed the whole july). That how I like to start a new work!


In the evening I was too exhausted to do anything special so we went onto the couch after having dinner - we both are not quite over our illness yet.

Last day of the vacation


Yesterday was the last day of my vacation and at noon I went to my parents for lunch.

After that I went to Planet Harry and helped him a bit, since the grand reopening is today.

In the evening we just watched some tv shows, although we had a vacation break the tv shows also are on summer break at the moment, so not very much to watch anyway.


And today marks the beginning of my self-employment at Planet Harry - I'm really excited about it and hope my first day is a great one, considering that it's also the first day the shop will be open after a one month break.
