Last time i visited my Dad at his home, he was already busy with renovating his flat cuz he'll soon be moving to another one.
Guess what, in all that mess i desperately tried to find my cat! Can you help me?
I already miss me kitty...
Hi there!
Long time no entry, so i think i'll have to change that now!
Due to the hot weather and the Whitsun-holidays we thought we should go in the country and see what's going on. We found, that the annual castle fest at the castle of Tittmoning in Bavaria is taking place this weekend and so we went there!
There were many many people dressed in precious garment, some like medieval knights, some like medieval nobles etc. And - much to my delight - there were many bands playing bagpipes and men jumping around in short kilts, hmmm yummie!
There were also many little attractions like the one in the picture below for little kids:
... and beautiful men all around:
...but this one is mine mine mine! ;P
At the moment i've got a lot of work to do for my studies, mostly for psychology but also for european ethnology. most of them are term papers for seminars and exams which i need to complete my first section of the studies. so i am quite anxious to make things meet O;)
so if you're already wondering where i could be or why i don't answer any emails or letters: i am studying! believe it or not, even being a student means a lot of stress!
...and i am already looking forward to my holidays which will start by 29th june. i keep counting the days...
Well, i'm in a great haste at the moment, so i scarcely have time to post an entry - and i feel really sorry about that ;/ possibly i'm already addicted to my blog, haha!
but since there are people who.. well, almost force me to write something, i think i should tell you a bit about what's going on in my life (satisfied Vero?)
Last monday i bought a new bike!
yeah, and it's not only a "Fahrrad", but it's a real b i k e! i absolutely fell in love with it when i rode it for the first time - and it's got my favourite colours green and lilac =^+^=
the fact is that i had to give up my old bike - which was a rather cheap version of a mountain bike - due to defective brakes. and one doesn't want to risk his life when riding in an infernal speed through the city. yes, believe it or not: city biking is more difficult and more dangerous than you might imagine. cars and pedestrians are NOT biker's friends - but this tends to be mutual...
In the beginning I felt we were living
I felt so alive under beautiful skies
Oh tonight slip in and out of life
Yet feeling so alive
Lost in the sea of light
Oh no please don't let me go
no please don't leave me here
to grieve innocent times
Reamonn "Beautiful Sky"
Since we have such a beautiful weather last time here in Tyrol, we had of course to make use of it and go for a ride on our bikes.
Birds were singing in the trees, the happy sun was shining in a marvelleous blue sky, it was finally warm again, our heart were jumping with joy... spring, spring, spring! yeah!
i think these two pictures - the one above and the one below - are very akin!
The month of May was come,
when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom,
and to bring forth fruit;
for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May,
in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover,
springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds.
For it giveth unto all lovers courage,
that lusty month of May.
Thomas Malory
Hi there! I hope you have spent beautiful and relaxing Easter holidays!
Animals are great! Not only the Easter bunny... That's why we thought we should go to the zoo here in Innsbruck.
these are sleeping huddling beavers. aren't they cuddly?
poor raven! he was very bored. i wished i could have set him free...
the wildcat. behaved almost like my own kitty ;)
another big cat!
little wild pigs! they were soooo cute!
i think i have been hit by an elk! those three were sponsored by IKEA and were called Billy, Knut and something like another piece of furniture.
the wolves were all lazy - good guys, haha! have yourself a good time!
"And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong.

Well, well! I'm so glad, that the days are getting brighter and warmer. People - like me - are sitting in the sun, enjoying its warmth. And did you notice that people's mood is much better now than it was when it was cold?
Here's a little insider-gag to improve your mood (if it isn't good yet!):
Pssst! This time i have sort of riddle for you. "A riddle, a riddle", some of you may shout. Well, let's see if you can make out where i stranded this time ;)
You see, i met with a hardly vested gentleman - ok this is the point where Vero is not allowed to guess anymore! =^+^=
Eh, i felt like a queen there - but damn, where is my crown and my royal household?!
all right, here he is: my king! (of my heart)
Isn't this a view for a king? - Or rather for a queen since it's the "Fraueninsel" and this means Lady's Island ;)
...And should you not already have figured out, where in the world this lovely place is, check this out: about Chiemsee
Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.
Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
Eres tú...
( Words and music by Juan Carlos Calderón)
(Translation:)
Like a promise, you are, you are
Like a summer morning
Like a smile, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
All my hope, you are, you are
Like fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread
Like my poem, you are, you are
Like a guitar in the night
My whole horizon you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
You are...
As you might already guess from the title, we made a little trip to France! First we spent two nights in Paris (no, NOT one night in Paris, what a pitty!)
by the banks of the Seine at night:
Notre Dame:
Birds are evil:
already preparing for retirement:
funny person watching the traffic in Montmatre. i couldn't actually find out what he was doing exactly - besides reading the newspaper... if you have a hint for me, tell me ;)
