I hate Mondays, I really do. I hate them even more when they aren’t precedented by a proper weekend.
I spend all of Saturday with the cleaning and the laundry and cooking and helping my father repair my old (ancient) radio.
Yesterday I had to do my bookkeeping, which kept me sitting at the PC from 9 [...]
I managed to do something to my back on Saturday morning which gladly, was better by Sunday but just to be on the safe side I stayed off the Kiwi, thinking that all those manhole covers (and there are thousands – you never notice that when you are in a car) would not be conductive [...]
the weather sucks rocks? Yeah, I guess I have.
And since I have spent all weekend doing some major spring cleaning and have absolutely nothing even remotely worth saying, I will share some pics with you.
I had a basket of walnuts from last fall which I placed outside
for the birds to get themselves. This nuthatch had [...]
I have been looking so forward to spring, but it has left us, it seems. It has been raining for over a week and even before that, the merry month of May wasn’t the best, in regard to weather.
It got even better yesterday when we had temperatures of 41F, it rained, hailed, sleeted and the [...]
(or at least one)
With amusement and much excitement, I followed the news this weekend about a brown bear in northern Austria which was making his way north into Bavaria. There hasn’t been a brown bear in Bavaria since the last one was shot in 1835.
Seems the bear made his way into the Garmisch region yesterday, [...]
I wrote about the merles (Amseln) breeding in the small cypress in front of my porch on May 5. I have been observing them regularly as they take turns sitting in the hot afternoon sun or in the cold morning rain, diligently breeding those eggs.
It just about broke my heart this morning when there wasn’t [...]
Being the procrastinator that I am, I did not do my taxes last weekend. The weather just got too nice and I just had to get on that Kiwi and have a ride through the Allgäu.
Meaning that yesterday, when the weather was very perfect and my father and Hilde headed into the Karwendel Mountains, I [...]
We had our first lovely day yesterday and I spent most of it outdoors.
Here some pictures of what I saw:
There is still lots of snow in the mountains, barring my entrance on two wheels.
The first wildflowers are starting to make their way through the grass.
In the morning, we took a long walk through the nature [...]
But with the exception of a one-hour motorcycle outing on Saturday, it’s just been work, work, work.
So, not a great long post here, as I am more than tired.
I will, however leave you with my most favorite movie quote of the month:
“Every piece of this is man’s bullshit.
They call this war a cloud over the [...]
Every morning when I wake up and look out the window, I see additional snow. Just a thorn in my side, I guess, but it hasn’t exactly been a cake walk for the birds either.
Thus, I boiled some eggs, cut them in half and placed them outside along with some walnuts for the occasional hungry [...]
