Out of power?

Yesterday was a normal day with a lot of deliveries at work. My dear was kind enough to pick me up afterwards and we went to le Pho for dinner.

Afterwards we went home and across a dark district, because there was a massive power blackout. So we went onto the couch and watched some archived stuff, since the internet was also down - although we had power in our flat.

Some D&D with inks

Yesterday we started off with some grocery shopping and then I prepared some pasta with the machine again for dinner.

In the afternoon friends visited us for roleplaying and we all were rather brave.

After that we stayed on the couch for the usual tv shows.

Since I got myself an inv advent calendar, I will post each day in December the ink that corresponds with that day here. To find a good way to present them, I started doing some testers with the inks I currently own and use.

Feeling not too well

Yesterday another plumber fixed our cold water valve in the flat by changing it. Now we need the first plumber again to install our new sink, which should happen this thursday.

After that I did the chores and in the afternoon I was feeling very exhausted and tensed up - incl. some heavy headache - so I had to lay down and cancel the planned dinner with my dear at Pause am Berg. Today I'm still not feeling too well, so I stay home and Harry is kind enough to do my shop duty for me.

Later that evening we watched some tv shows on the couch, I was more or less awake for that.

Leopoldi

Yesterday we met with dear friends in Klosterneuburg for die annula Leopoldi celebrations. But before that we had dinner at the greek Poseidon restaurant.



One of our friends hurt herself on the foot that morning and since the pain was getting worse she went to the hospital - unfortunately there they found out that she had a torn ligament. So we all again wish her a quick recovery!

The rest of us went to the festival and we picked up some sweets and stuff there.

Back again we played some boardgames before we all went home and we fed our cats before we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

What a mess

Yesterday was a very good day at work, despite the constant rain all day. We had a lot of deliveries as well, including my inkvent calendar, which was treat badly during transit, which resulted in the free sampler being broken inside the package.



In the evening I went home and after dinner we went onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

That went not so well...

Yesterday we should have gotten our new sink in the bathroom, but it (once again?) was not as we excepted. While the professionals installed the sink, they found out that the main valve for the cold water could not be turned off. So they reinstalled our old sink, but in the process of that the gasket broke and the water decided to flow directly to the floor, so they had to shut down that particular valve in the bathroom. So now, until the whole thing is fixed, we have no working sink in the bathroom...

After that defeat we went out grocery shopping and then had a good lunch. In the afternoon it was time for the chores and in the evening we did our couch and tv shows thing.

This saturday morning we met with friends for breakfast in the inner city and we went to Heiner in Kärtnerstrasse.




Afterwards we walked through the city and back home lay down for a bit for the expected long evening.

In the evening we went to a birthdayparty at Wagramheurigen Thyri where we had enough food and games for the whole night.



Since it was rather late when we came back, the cats waited for us and after we fed them it was time for bed for all.

New venue - testing done

Yesterday was another weak day at work and before we went our for dinner, my dear and I went shopping on Mariahilferstraße. Unfortunately I couldn't find a new jacket that I liked so I have to continue my search another day.

Afterwards we went out for dinner with some dear friends and tried out a new venue: Brauhof.



There was a larger number of great beers to select from and even Strongbow cider on the tap, but the food was not as good as we hoped for. It was mediocre, but my burger was even worse as all parts of it were rather greasy and I had a hard time finishing it because of that. So next week we are going to another venue again and perhaps this one is better. (and I'm rather convinced that I would be a good restaurant critic, only question ist were do I start this career...)

After that we went home and had a quick episode of a tv show before we went to bed.

Home at last

Yesterday we traveled back home via train(s). Because we were delayed 15 minutes from Offenburg to Kalsruhe we had to take different trains from that point on, which resulted in a final two hour delay at home. My mother was kind enough to take care of our cats while we were on vacation and also fed them this evening because of our delay.

Here's the route of our journey:
