Teatime in the Vienese forest.

Dear Blog
Today I had planned for a day in solitude and contemplation, but alas! my live-ins had decided going for a walk in the snowy Vienese woods. As they probably feared it would be too boring for them alone, they forced me to join them. Not without proper substinence I cried out! And the norski filled his backpack with hot chocolate and and assortment of dried fruits and other delicacies from a local deli-shop here in my neighborhood. And away we went into the deep mysterious forest by way of train, and later on foot.
We walked for hour after hour. Deep snow. Icy winds. My ring-tail was constantly exposed to the elements.
Took a small teabreak close to something that looked like a forest-fireman watchtower. I was of course expecting a dash of my favorite Brandy in my tea, but was deeply disapointed... The break was abruptly shortened, 'cause the redhead was feeling a bit cold.

Well, to make a grueling experience short; We reached the trainstation after miles on slippery paths, and after a relatively short train journey we were home again.
Time for a bath!

Me somewhere, lost actually!, in the forest.

Teetotaling (norski didn't bring along my Brandy)

Is this what they call the "blue hour"?

At last; on my way home, on the train, to an appointment with a hot bath.

Blackadder

I watched a DVD with some of the genial Blackadder episodes the other day. If you haven't heard about it: SHAME ON YOU! In order to commemorate the series I took this photo of meself.  Nice eh?

Floorball

Yup! It's Thursday again, and this time I AM going to play Floorball with the norski. It will most certainly be blood, sweat and tears. Of course not piglet blood! Anyway now I am geared up to go. Ok, so me sweat-band is a bit jerry-rigged and the gear is made for the big people but do I look like a piglet who cares?
I hope someone comes along to carry me to the venue...

NB: at least I could be the stereotypical mean referee.

Cooking

Cheers!
It's really a piglet's life; Redhead is feeling ill and the norski is not to be seen. What's a hungry piglet to do? Make me own dinner...again.
ps: This is actually the first blog post I made with my, err.. one of my live-ins' mobile phones. Great! I don't need to borrow one of their computers any more.

Saving electricity !



Actually I am not exactly into green stuff, but my live-ins rather forced me into some hours of candle-light during the last Earth-hour. I like to play with the fire...  - so I helped them with lighting the candles (I also wanted to light up some other stuff, but was outrageously denied doing that!)  My friends, the backyard rats, also had some bright ideas in that direction.  Well, well, well......

Welcome

Hi

My name is Grunzl, and this is my first blog.
On this site I will post different kind of pics from my life in the big city, and say my opinion on a number of subjects.  Obviously English is not my native tongue - my every-day language is in fact a dialect of German -  but I think I will reach a broader audience by using English.  Stay tuned!
