::sigh:: I might start doing a-day-in-the-life picture posts next, because my ability and inclination to write are next to non-existent at the moment.


Had a lovely New Year with soavezefiretto (whose New Year was probably less lovely, having a cold, and all...); walked through the park in Schönbrunn which was more beautiful than I remember seeing it in a long time, mist dissolving to a brilliantly blue sky, bare trees dripping night-frost molten by the sun, rooks and sea-gulls on the frozen fountain-pond. Tea and cake in the Gloriette cafè, decoration of golden putti hanging in front of the windows, a waiter cursing a tourist standing around waiting for a seat who knocked a tray with two lattes out of his hands. Addicted her to AtS S4; watched Grease and squeed over Zack-as-Kenickie, found a Spanish internet radio station, ate grapes, danced to the Donauwalzer, stood at the window and watched the fireworks, or what we could see of them in the patch of sky above the yard and reflected in the windows opposite.

Watched the Neujahrskonzert on tv, then I dragged her for another walk through a windy, over-cast and mostly deserted, hung-over Vienna (although... showing it to her made me realise how much I love this place, in some ways); made Palatschinken, which weren't pretty, but edible, and evilly tempted her with more AtS.
