I made it just in time. Now it is snowing so the ice quality will not be this good again this winter, but it was an amazing skate on the New Danube (rarer than on the Old Danube) today. What a city! 🙂

Autumn
9 OctAbsolutely amazing fall weather this afternoon–bright blue sky, 22ºC and the leaves just beginning to turn to gold.
Five
5 May5ºC (about 40ºF) here this morning on the 5th day of the 5th month. I think the ice saints may have arrived early this year, like everything else. 😉
Camelot in Vienna
23 AprMind you, no one has established a round table here where knights takes oaths of chastity and so on and vow to protect the weak and needy. One could almost say quite the opposite as the right-wing student groups grow in strength. Nor do I mean the weather last summer when it was 40°C or so. (I, thank goodness, was not here so only have heard about it.) No, I am referring to the musical “Camelot” and the weather we’ve been having the last month or so, particularly the lines “The rain may never fall till after sundown, By eight the morning fog must disappear … The snow may never slush upon the hillside, By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear.” For a while there it rained–and snowed–so little we getting a bit worried about lack of water. Now we can relax. It has been raining, but mainly after sundown. It has been absolutely amazing (but all that is supposed to change tomorrow). Ah, well. At least we had it.
The Easter weekend is coming
17 AprAnd Mylo and I took advantage of the fact that many people (e.g., clients) are out of town to go for a walk in Türkenschanz Park this afternoon. Here is some of what we saw.
Windy
16 MarVienna is not its usual tidy self today. We are experiencing high winds (someone said gusts up to 100 km) today, and a lot of the trash that was in the bins is now all over the streets and parks, stuck in bushes, soaking in puddles from yesterday’s rain, and flying around. I saw one thin plastic bag floating through the air like a beautiful, exotic butterfly.
Seems like a good day for a visit to one of Vienna’s English-language cinemas!
Early spring in Vienna
9 MarBeautiful early spring weather here–sun, gentle blue sky, cool temperatures and hardly any wind. Mylo and I had a lovely walk before breakfast.
