Much better day

Yesterday was good day at work again, in contrast to Tuesday.

After work I went to my parents, where I got a tasty apple pancake for dinner.

Afterwards I went home and tested the newly repaired washing machine - yes it's working again.

My dear had friends over for boardgaming and they played Sword & Sorcery way into the night.

Gestern war wieder ein guter Tag in der Arbeit, quasi als Ausgleich für den Dienstag.

Nach der Arbeit ging es zu meinen Eltern wo ich eine gute Apfel-Palatschinke als Abendessen bekommen habe.

Danach ging es nach Hause und die frisch reparierte Waschmaschine musste ausprobiert werden - ja alles passt jetzt wieder.

Mein Schatz hatte Freunde zu Besuch und sie haben Sword & Sorcery bis spät in die Nacht gespielt.

Awful start of the working week

Yesterday was the first day since I started at Planet Harry which was really bad - I can't say what caused that but we hope the rest of February will not be as bad.

Back home in the evening I got some dinner and then we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

Gestern war erstmals seit ich im Planet Harry tätig bin ein richtig schlechter Tag - woran es lag kann ich nicht genau sagen, aber jetzt hoffen wir einmal dass der Rest vom Februar noch besser wird.

Am Abend gab es zuhause Abendessen und dann die übliche Couchsession mit Fernsehserien.

Not much rest for the working people

Yesterday was a rather normal day, including getting up earlier than expected. But I did some sleeping in the afternoon.

Otherwise we went grocery shopping and did our chores and in the evening we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

Gestern war ein relativ normaler Tag, inklusive nicht lange ausschlafen. Dafür habe ich mich dann am Nachmittag hingelegt.

Ansonsten waren wir einkaufen und haben Hausarbeit gemacht und am Abend ging es wie immer auf die Couch zu den Fernsehserien.

The longest night of the year

Yesterday it was day of relaxing and sleeping, since I spent the night watching the Oscars as usual until the very end.

I went to bed at 5:30 and got up again at 8:30 because health services rang me on the phone...

Gestern war ausruhen und vorschlafen angesagt, weil ich mir traditionellerweise die Oscar Verleihung live bis in der Früh angeschaut habe.

Ins Bett ging es dann um 5:30 und aufgestanden bin ich dann um 8:30 weil WGKK angerufen hat...

Some playing of games

Yesterday I relaxed a bit and went out to do some grocery shopping.

In the afternoon we went to a dear friend of our and played the prototype for a variant of Monopoly with her. Everything went rather well and after only 4 hours it was clear how the game was going.

After that we did a quick beta playtestsession of the new Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 roleplaying system, where we built some characters and played them in a short scenario.

In the evening we went home and onto the couch to our tv shows.

Gestern haben wir uns einmal ausgeruht und ware dann einkaufen.

Am Nachmittag waren wir dann bei einer lieben Freundin zu Gast und haben einen Prototyp für eine Monopoly Variante probiert. Es ging alles sehr gut und wir haben nur ca. 4 Stunden gebraucht um zu einem Punkt zu kommen wo der Ausgang klar war.

Danach gab es dann noch eine kleiner Beta-Playtestsession vom Achtung! Cthulhu 2d20 Rollenspiel, bei dem wir Charaktere gebastelt haben und ein kurzes Szenario damit angespielt.

Am Abend dann ging es wieder auf die Couch und zu unseren Fernsehserien.

The week got me

Yesterday was good day at work again. Unfortunately the chaos around the washing machine repair appointment has not been solved and so now we have the "real" appointment next wednesday.

In the evening I went home exhausted and there I got dinner and then we went onto the couch for tv shows (still without BBC).

Gestern war wieder ein guter Tag in der Arbeit. Leider hat sich das Chaos mit der Waschmaschinen Reparatur nicht aufgelöst und so haben wir nächsten Mittwoch dann den "echten" Termin.

Am Abend ging es erschöpft nach Hause und dort gab es Abendessen und dann nur mehr Couch mit Serien (weiterhin ohne BBC).

...still more to come

Yesterday was another good day at work. The rest of the day not so much though.

Our washing machine is broken and I wanted to make an appointment online and was glad I found one for today. But in the evening I found an email changing the appointment to next wednesday in the spam folder. No call - although I left my phone number - just like that. So now we just wait with doing the laundry till next wednesday...

In the evening I went to Sichuan for dinner with my dear and after that we went home for couch and tv shows, but BBC was not working any longer so it was other shows this time around on Netflix.

Gestern war wieder ein sehr guter Tag in der Arbeit. Der restliche Tag war allerdings eher zum Vergessen.

Unsere Waschmaschine hat den Geist aufgegeben und ich wollte online einen Reparaturtermin für heute ausmachen. Ich habe mich sehr gefreut dass es ging, bis zu dem Zeitpunkt am Abend, als ich ein Mail im Spamordner gefunden habe, wo der Termin auf nächste Woche verschoben wurde. Kein Anruf - trotz angegebener Telefonnummer - einfach so. Na dann warten wir halt einfach bis nächste Woche mit dem Waschen von unserer Wäsche...

Am Abend bin ich mit meinem Schatz noch zum Sichuan gegangen und danach ging es zuhause auf die Couch, wo leider auch BBC nicht ging also wurden es Netflix Serien.

What a day...

Yesterday was one of those days. At work the newly bought barcode scanner stopped working just after one day. Since I bought it second hand online there's no warranty and no exchanging it for a working unit.

The deliveries also took quite a while, with the last one arriving just before I went to my parents for dinner.

At my parents I got some tasty pancakes, thankfully.

The vet also called with some bad news: our tom cat has kidney stones and our princess got herself a bladder infection. Both of them now need to take some additional medication.

In the evening I just went exhausted onto the couch and we watched the usual tv shows.

Gestern war wieder ein turbulenter Tag. In der Arbeit hat der neue Barcodescanner gleich nach einem Tag den Geist aufgegeben. Da ich ihn über willhaben.at gekauft habe war es das auch mit Garantie und Austausch.

Die Lieferungen sind langsam eingetrudelt und erst kurz bevor ich zu meinen Eltern aufgebrochen bin war dann alles da.

Bei meinen Eltern gab es dann zum Glück Palatschinken zum Abendessen.

Die Tante Tierarzt hat mich dann auch noch angerufen. Der Kater hat Nierensteine und die Katze - zusätzlich zu kommenden Zahnsanierung - auch noch eine Blasenenzündung und sie müssen jetzt beide Medikamenten nehmen.

Am Abend bin ich dann erschöpft auf die Couch gefallen und wir haben Serien geschaut.

Back to work

Yesterday I went to work again and it was a quite good day, although I didn't receive all the shipments I was waiting for.

In the evening back home I got dinner and then we went onto the couch for tv shows until it was time for bed.

Gestern war ich wieder arbeiten und es war ein sehr guter Tag, auch wenn ich nicht alle Lieferungen bekommen hatte, die ich eigentlich erwartet hatte.

Am Abend dann Nachtmahl zuhause und couchen mit Fernsehserien bis es ins Bett ging.

Quite expensive day

Yesterday we went to the vet with our pussy cat. Everything is rather all right except for her teeth, which need to looked after since one of the teeth already got a hole in it..

In the afternoon we got visited by friends who came for a boardgame afternoon. We played Sarkophag, Pathfinder Adventure Card Game and Stich-Meister.

After that we wanted to do some laundy, but we found out that our washing machine stopped working properly. So this day will cost us a real sum of money in the near future...

Gestern waren wir mit der Mieze-Katze bei der Tante Tierarzt. Es ist alles soweit in Ordnung, bis auf die Zähne die wir jetzt richten lassen müssen, da sie schon ein Loch in einem Zahn hat.

Am Nachmittag haben wir Besuch von Freunden bekommen, die zum Brettspielen gekommen waren. Wir haben Sarkophag, Pathfinder Adventure Card Game und Stich-Meister gespielt.

Danach wollten wir noch etwas waschen und sind draufgekommen, dass unsere Waschmaschine defekt ist. Also durchaus ein Tag der viel in der Zukunft kosten wird...

Only doing chores

This sunday we stayed mostly home did the chores, while we left for a short walk in the afternoon.

In the evening it was once again couch-time with the lateste tv shows.

Am Sonntag haben wir zunächst Hausarbeit gemacht und sind dann am Nachmittag auf einen kurzen Spaziergang hinaus gegangen.

Am Abend war dann wieder das üblichen couchen zu Fernsehserien am Programm.

Boardgaming afternoon once more

Yesterday I was feeling better and so we decided not to cancel our planned boardgame afternoon with friends.

We started with yet two more scenarios of Betrayal Legacy. "Our" house is getting bigger and scarier with each play and it totally not our fault, I promise...

After that it was time for dinner, but we squeezed in another quick game before that and it was Food Chain - and yes, we did eat a lot!

Afterwards it was time for some politically uncorrect jokes with: Kampf gegen die Korinthenkacker and Joking Hazard.

The conclusion of the evening were one game of Stich-Meister followed by two games of Codenames

Gestern ging es mir schon etwas besser und deswegen haben wir unseren geplanten Spielenachmittag auch nicht abgesagt.

Begonnen haben wir wieder mit zwei Szenarien von Betrayal Legacy. "Unser" Haus wird immer größer aber auch immer unheimlicher, woran wir nicht ganz unschuldig sind...

Danach wurde Nachtmahl gegessen, aber davor noch ein schnelles All You Can Eat - und ja wir haben viel essen können!

Anschließend wurde gelacht und unkorrekte Karten gespielt mit: Kampf gegen die Korinthenkacker und Joking Hazard.

Zum Ausklang dann noch ein schnelles Stich-Meister und zweimal Codenames

Still home with a running nose

Yesterday I stayed home still and took care of my Niagrafalls-nose. Let's hope it will get better today.

Gestern war ich immer noch zuhause und habe meine Niagara-Fälle-Nase gepflegt. Hoffen wir mal, dass es heute besser wird.

Still ill at home

I'm still ill and stayed home today.

Bin noch krank und heute zuhause geblieben.

The wonderful season of staying home with a cold

Yesterday I was at work, but since I wasn't feeling too good I went back home and into my bed.

I'm having a cold right now, but I hope to be up and running again soon.

Gestern war ich zwar in der Arbeit, aber nachdem es mir nicht so gut gegangen ist bin ich früher nach Hause gegangen und habe mich ins Bett gelegt.

Ich bin jetzt verkühlt zuhause und hoffe bald wieder am Damm zu sein.

Good start of the week

Yesterday was a good day at work with a lot of deliveries again - which is usual for Tuesdays.

Afterwards I went back home for some dinner and then some couch-time with the usual tv shows.

Gestern war wieder ein guter Tag in der Arbeit mit vielen neuen Lieferungen - wie üblich am Dienstag.

Danach ging es zum Nachtmahl nach Hause und dann auf die Couch zu den abendlichen Fernsehserien.

Still alive

Yesterday - on our day off - we went to the vet with out tomcat for his annual examination. Bubsi was not very happy, but after he survived all of it he was somewhat relaxed again.

Then we went out to do some grocery shopping and later - back home again - we ourselves also relaxed a bit.

In the evening we went on to play some more Super Mario Party and after that we watched some tv shows on the couch.

Gestern - an unserem freien Tag - waren wir mit dem Kater bei der Tante Tierarzt zur jährlichen Kontrolluntersuchung. Der Bubsi war wenig begeistert, aber nachdem er's überlebt hat war er dann bald wieder relaxed.

Wir sind dann am Nachmittag noch einkaufen gegangen und später dann - wieder zuhause - haben wir uns auch noch ausgeruht.

Am Abend ging es dann wieder zu Super Mario Party und noch später zu den üblichen Fernsehserien auf die Couch.

Relaxing on a sunday

This sunday it was all about relaxing and doing the chores.

In the afternoon we played Super Mario Party on the Switch a lot and unlocked some nice goodies on the way.

In the evening it was once again watched tv shows on the couch until we went to bed.

Am Sonntag war nur ausruhen und Hausarbeit angesagt.

Am Nachmittag haben wir dann ausführlich Super Mario Party auf der Switch gespielt und ein paar der Goodies freigeschaltet.

Am Abend dann standen wieder diverse Serien am Programm bevor es ins Bett ging.

Now the working week is over

This saturday I was working as well and it was yet another good day. My dear picked me up and we went to mySchnitzel for lunch afterwards.

Back home I had to relax a bit and then it was cat entertainment time.

In the evening we watched tv shows on the couch yet again and then it was time to sleep as long as possible.

Am Samstag war ich auch arbeiten und es war auch wieder ein sehr guter Tag. Mein Schatz hat mich dann abgeholt und wir sind dann zum mySchnitzel auf ein Mittagessen gegangen.

Wieder zuhause habe ich mich erst einmal ausruhen müssen und dann war Katzenbespassung angesagt.

Am Abend dann das klassische Couch und Fernsehserien schauen und danach dann lange ausschlafen.

The week is not over yet

This friday was a very good day at work again and afterwards I went straight home for dinner.

After that it was the usual couch and tv shows, but not too long since I also have to work today.

Am Freitag war wieder ein sehr guter Tag in der Arbeit und danach bin ich dann schnell zum Abendessen nach Hause gefahren.

Danach dann wieder wie üblich Couch und Fernsehserien, aber nicht zu lange nachdem ich heute auch arbeiten muss.

Day like many other

Yesterday was a rather ordinary day at work. Not many deliveries and only a handful of customers.

After work I went back home for dinner and then wen went onto the couch for tv shows as usual.

Gestern war wieder ein recht normaler Tag in der Arbeit. Nicht viele Lieferungen und eine überschauliche Zahl an Kunden.

Nach der Arbeit ging es zum Abendessen nach Hause und danach wie immer auf die Couch zu Fernsehserien.

A normal day at work

Yesterday was a quite normal day at work and since I'm all alone this week, my mother was kind enough to visit me again.

In the evening I went to meet with an ex-colleague in a pub and we talked a bit.

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

Gestern war wieder ein normaler Tag in der Arbeit und nachdem ich die ganze Woche allein im Geschäft bin, hat mich meine Mutter wieder besucht.

Am Abend habe ich mich dann mit einem Ex-Kollegen im Pub getroffen und wir haben geplaudert.

Wieder zuhause haben wir dann noch Fernsehserien auf der Couch geschaut bis es ins Bett ging.

Not a great start of the week

Yesterday was - because of vacation week - a rather average day at work. Highlight of the day was the visit of my parents who where nearby and gave me a visit.

After I closed the shop I went back home and got a good dinner and some entertainment on the couch.

Gestern war - bedingt durch die Ferienzeit - ein sehr mäßiger Tag in der Arbeit Lichtblick des Tages war der Besuch meiner Eltern, die gerade in der Gegend waren.

Nachdem ich das Geschäft abgeschlossen habe, bin ich dann nach Hause gefahren und habe dort Abendessen und Unterhaltung auf der Couch genossen.

Not so Super Bowl-a-night

Yesterday first of all we slept longer, since we watched the Super Bowl until it's bitter end. Fortunately the cats were also very tired and let us sleep.

After that we went grocery shopping and then to the library. Back home again we did another round of power-napping, which the cats joined in as well.

In the evening I played some Assassin's Creed Odyssey again before we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

Gestern haben wir uns einmal lange ausgeschlafen, nachdem wir den Super Bowl bis zum bitteren Ende geschaut hatten. Netterweise haben uns die Katzen schlafen lassen, auch die waren zu fertig um uns zu wecken.

Danach sind wir dann einkaufen gegangen und zur Bücherei. Wieder zuhause ging es dann an die zweite Runde nachschlafen, was auch die Katzen gemacht haben.

Am Abend dann habe ich wieder Assassin's Creed Odyssey gespielt und dann ging es schlussendlich auf die Couch zu den üblichen Fernsehserien.

Super Bowl with Cthulhu

Yesterday we did our chores and later that afternoon we got visited by a dear friend.

Before we went onto the couch for the Super Bowl broadcast, we played a short one-shot session of the Call of Cthulhu role playing game.

Since we stayed up until the final second of the broadcast, we are now still asleep.

Gestern haben wir die Hausarbeit gemacht und am späteren Nachmittag haben wir Besuch von einer lieben Freundin bekommen.

Bevor wir dann auf die Couch zur Super Bowl Übertragung gegangen sind, gab es noch eine kurze Call of Cthulhu Rollenspielsession.

Nachdem wir bis zum Ende der Super Bowl Übertragung auf waren, sind wir jetzt noch beim Nachschlafen.

Escape this room Sherlock!

Yesterday we went to our first Escape Room game with some dear friends - SherLockd.

Although we were quite good, we didn't escape in time. But we were allowed to leave anyway. :)

After that we went to Mariahilf and had lunch at Vapiano.

Then we did our weekend grocery shopping and then we went back home where we relaxed and went onto the couch to watch tv shows.

Gestern waren wir mit Freunden in unserem ersten Escape Room Spiel - SherLockd.

Obwohl wir sehr gut unterwegs waren, haben wir es leider nicht innerhalb der Zeit geschafft zu entkommen. Trotzdem durften wir dann aber gehen. :)

Danach sind wir noch nach Mariahilf gegangen und haben beim Vapiano zu Mittag gegessen.

Danach dann noch den Wochenendeinkauf und dann ging es zurück nach Hause zum Ausruhen und am Abend Serien auf der Couch schauen.

The week is over - time for relaxing

Yesterday was yet again a great day at work and after we closed the shop I went to WOKWalk for some sushi dinner.

Back home it was time to relax and watch some tv shows on the couch - with some cat entertainment in between.

Auch gestern war ein sehr guter Tag in der Arbeit und nachdem wir das Geschäft geschlossen hatten bin ich dann noch zum WOKWalk auf ein Sushi Abendessen gegangen.

Wieder zuhause war ausruhen angesagt und dabei Serien auf der Couch schauen - natürlich mit Katzenbespassung dazwischen.

A day alone at work

Yesterday was a rather good day at work, altough I was all alone since Harry went to the toy fair in Nurnberg..

In the evening back home I got a good dinner and then we went onto the couch to watch the usual tv shows.

Gestern war wieder ein sehr guter Tag in der Arbeit, auch wenn ich allein war, nachdem der liebe Harry in Nürnberg bei der Spielwarenmesse war.

Am Abend ging es dann nach Hause und nach einem Abendessen auf die Couch zu den üblichen Fernsehserien.
