I have been having age issues. Nothing serious mind you, but an assortment of aches and pains which at the moment seem to constantly remind me of the fact that I am no longer thirty.
Combined with a few pictures taken on the motorcycle outing with all those Honda dudes which left me looking less than [...]

I have been so caught up in the World Cup. At the beginning, I couldn’t care less, having been bombarded with World Cup towels, cups, glasses, t-shirts and such in the stores weeks before things even got under way.

I needed to get a “bit of wind around my nose” and we headed to the Ötztal this morning. Traffic on the Fernpaß was awful, as it always is, but it is the quickest way to get down there. Once we are in the Ötztal we slow down a bit to enjoy the scenery, as [...]

Update: Motorcycle Tour with Mom through the lovely countryside this morning. (Details later, but she enjoyed it) ! Yeah, Mom!
I can now finally write about why I have been spending so much time cleaning and had no time to post here.
My Mom is visiting from stateside – flew in Thursday and came to stay [...]

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 [...]

The company I have my part-time job at is manufacturer of industrial devices. The four young men which work in assembly are all well-mannered and nice. Usually.
I had a conversation with one of them in the course of the week about the weather. When I mentioned that 85F would be more my thing than the [...]
