It was on a Sunday, so of course the catholic redhead and the Luther-friend-norski protested, but I was adamant - and off we went. Well actually we went swimming first, then we drove to the depot for refugees. At the depot I was forced to hand over some of me old belongings (Coats and Rucksacks mostly!) to the refugees in dire straits (No, not the Band!) <br> Then FINALLY we went shopping. But to my outmost consernation, to a bookshop. A very booring place. Of course norski walked for hours between the stacks of books, and redhead promptly sat down and started reading one of her typical political books. The only thing I could relate to was a thiny book about a piglet (See Photo!)<br> And before I forget: the christmas-marked has opened 😀🐷<br> In case you have forgotten how I look like: there is also a Bonus-photo of myself.

Today me and norski got help from frenchie to set up part of our new wall- It is always a bit difficult to start with a project. So we met frenchie at a company specialiced in ...well, walls 'n tiles n' stuff. We ordered a lot of thingies. Like big plates made out of plaster, plates of mineral-isolation material, lots of screws, rolls of rubber bands, (frenchie's car was filled from keel to the burgee with building materials)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
When we arrived home, we had to carry the stuff up 5 stories, as the lift was too tiny. Exhausting to say the least.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
With no break, we started to build. Sawing sheet metal thingies. sawing isolation material etc etc.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Puh! I think we made half the wall before the evening finally came. So now I'm enjoying my black tea (send to me from a fan on the Azores!!)</div>

Tomorrow I have work to do. Norski and this french guy (AKA frenchie) are going to get som help from this piglet. We're going to set up a dry wall. Our neighbors are noisy and smoky (tabacco smoke), hence we have painted a almost gas-thight membrane (usually used in bathrooms!) over half the wall in one of the bedrooms. But since that only solves the "smoky" part, we also have to isolate against noise. So now they, eh--we, are discussing if we shall use 7,5cm or 10 cm isolation behind the dry-wall. Any suggestions?</div>

<br />
Dear friends. Last week I went to Italy with my live-ins. We went by public transport til Linz (yuck!) But redhead and norski claimed it was better than driving, and the train was indeed very fast. I think it cruises around 200 kmh. Not too bad really. Still I'm used to individual transport with a high CO2 output.<br />
In Linz we changed to car-transport.<br />

Our target was Görz, or "Gorizia" as the Italians say. It's located in the province of Friaul (Friuli) It more or less is a divided city on the Italian-Slovene border. The not-so-unknown river of Isonzo runs through the city. Redhead claimed her 'cestors came from a horse-stable within city-limits. Lotta horse?$%& if you ask me.<br />

We vere all tired after the journey. So Redhead and norski wanted to rest. I being a ferkel an' all, had to go out and hunt my own food. So I hunted down a pizza at the local store (se pic) When I came back to the room the smell of pizza waked my two live-ins, so they wanted a bite as well.<br />

Some day later we went for a trip along the Isonzo-river. Here, during WWI, there were 12 mayor battles between the Austrian-Hungarian-empire against the Italians. Anyway the loss of life was tremendous. many 10 000 soldiers (70k?) lost their lives. Some survived. Among them Ernest Hemingway (a then 19 year old ambulance driver)<br />
Here is one of the small towns along the River. This is in Slovenia.<br />

Anyway; it was nice to visit Italy again. For about 300 years, I think, this used to be part of Austria. Strange to think about that. We even saw some places serving typical austrian dished, like dumplings and wiener schnitzel. And of course lots of buildings with the typical colouring, as also seen in Hungary and all the other countries that used to be part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.<br />

Hope you all liked the photos.<br />

Got no eggs, so this fruit basket will have to do.<br />
Spent a quiet and relaxing easter holliday in Linz (or "The Zentralraum" as I call it!) Almost saw a big accident on the Highway. People driving like crazy with no distance between their vehicles. Insane if you ask me!<br />
Now I'm searching for a measurement tape, 'cause me new tailor is planning a new summer costume for me, and she'll need my piglet-length/width etc. Will present it here later this year. (excitement, eh?)<br />
This will be a quiet week. A time for hot chocolate in front of the open fire (if I had one) a long baths in the bathtube. Did I say "Happy easter"?<br />
Bye<br />

While you folks have been drinking eggnog and singing X-mas carols -and-whatever. I have been busy, I went with norski to visit a friend of his(Unni). There we were making a norski-cake, I belive it's called "Kransekake" or-somethin'-like-that. First I thought it was up there with "lefse n' Lutefisk" (you Norwegian-americans will probably know what I mean..), but it actually turned up quite nice. BTW we are not quite finished yet. So your fav piglet will be back with more pics, but this is what I'll be showing you for the moment:<br />

As usual we traveled by way of public transport.

On the above pic yours truly has arrived at Unni's, and are warming up with some tee (no bisquits unfortunately!) Note to myself: Be more demanding.<br />

<br />
Today I did a walk in the lightly forrested area at Karlsplatz. There was a Christmas-marked going on, and I saw two sorry boggers. I belive they are called Mangalitsa-piglets (ferkels) and they are from a rare hungarian breed. I tried of course to tease them a bit, but they were kind of living in their own little sphere of tranquility.<br />

<br />
I'm still here. Just had a busy sommer. First I went to the Azores, then for a music festival in Styria in Austria(Bad Ausee) and the finally to Hungary. <br />
On this first photo you see me lounging at a hungarian spa hotel in Esztergom. They had warm towels, but this time I abstained as it was over 35 degrees on the Puszta.<br />
On the second photo you see som hungarian bunnies I liberated from a state own holding facility (I belive they called it a Agricultural Museum) <br />

Hi there, an' happy new year.<br />
Been busy. Went up to ice cold Norway over the X-mas holidays. There I got a new sweater! :-) Well It wasn't really new new, as norskis mother made it over 35 years ago. It's called an "Marius-genser"-sweater. This Marius guy was apparently a famous ski jumper and a fighter pilot in the fifties.<br />
...hmm is anybody reading this?<br />

<br />
Yesterday I got a new jacket. It's yellow and made out of some extra cloth we had lying in a closet. I think norski used it for dressing up at a Halloween-party a couple of years ago.<br />
Anyway; since I don't have a standard body shape, being a piglet an' all, the jacket had to be custom tailored expecially for yours truly! First I thought it was finished, but now I'm thinking of making a hole at the back for my curly pig tail. Redhead came up with the idea for a really big button. So what do you think? Like it? -or should I go for a more Versace-style?<br />

<br />
Just a short update. Spent the very last week of the year in a small village in Eastern Tyrolia, I belive the hamlet was named "Kals" - or somethin'.<br />

Picture one shows the view from my penthouse (or <em>penthaus</em> as they say here in Austria) early in the morning. I didn't even take the photo myself as I was sleeping at that time, naturally. I guess norski took it whilst filling up the bathtube for me morning bath. <br />

Photo nr 2 shows a small valley some 8 km from Kals. Redhead almost broke her knee, so we had to take a day off from serious alpine skiing. So instead we went snowshoe-walking. That was cool. Even more cool was that , due to the weather conditions, we saw 3 minor snow-avalanches. There was not so much snow, but the hills were steep, and the sound of thunder going on and on was really something. Unfortunately I did not take any photos at that time. I was to much ingulfed in the experience.<br />

The last photo is the montains marking the watershed between Kals and Matrei in Osttirol. I liked the light. Hmmm.. I might start to take photography more serious...<br />
<br />
BTW: there was no winner for my X-mas-present-competition. No contribution was found worthy enough by the present-committee. But as my very own birthday is in only 6 months; you can participate in the next round ;-)<br />

First it was boring, but then I went into me 'money is money'-overdrive!<br />
I invested in real estate, houses and a hotel (the bank cheated me at the deal, but I managed to turn the situation into a moneyfall - mostly by tricking me opponents into paying a rather stiff rent )<br />
Needless to say, but I'm of course saying it anyway: I WON ! hihi!<br />

A major subject of the exhibition was the Reformation and Martin Luther. Basically it was all about how bad the Austrian protestants were treated by some not very nice guys from their catholic environment.<br />
In order to get away from it all I went for a walk in the forest around the castle in which the exhibition was situated. Suddenly I saw a dead mother-mouse struck - nay, rather squeezed - down on the path, apparently a biker had driven over her. Poor mouse! A classical hit and run.<br />
Not two meters away from the sad spot I found this baby mouse (see picture above!). An Austrian 'spitz maus' I believe. He (I called him Fredi) was a bit dehydrated, but otherwise he didn't suffer of anything a bit of water couldn't cure. Fredi was sleeping soundly in my pullover using part of my sleeve as a blanket, but for the photo I had to wake him up.<br />
Should I adopt him, poor little Fredi, what do you think?<br />
<br />
Update: Actually, we did not keep Fredi after all but left him in the deep, deep forest nearby a medieval castle. Rumours tell, he now makes his living by acting as castle-mouse there....Grunzlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14604177992765733198noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8402362086648126355.post-5375581657587838102010-07-18T10:02:00.000-07:002010-07-18T10:02:09.108-07:00rainy SundayToday I've been staying in bed all day long. The only sensible thing to do regarding the wheather; just a nuisance that Norski and Readhead are cycling around aimlessly in the city, hence there is no one that would prepare hot chocolate for me.<br />
