Hello guys,

last weekend we enjoyed some public music at our neighbourhood and we especially looked forward to one of the bands on the last day called > “Garish”. While they played their melodios music with a teaspoon of melancholy, I took my cam to take a fast panorama shot of this public scenery and despite of the bad 8pm lightning I think it shows the mood of all the different assembled people

the event: popfest.at

This is terrible! I can´t take a single relaxed spring walk outside without grasping my boyfriend´s sleeve,
pointing exaggeratedly at the other side of the sidewalk and scream: “LOOK AT THAT CUUUUTE DOG!”
Other people passing by may think that I am a countrypumpkin and that the countryside just doesn´t offer dogs in these small sizes or that I am simply utterly demented.

I don´t care. Let me show you who we met.

This is Fifi. She is a New Yorker, but her mommy decided, that the pavement in Vienna is much better for her little doggy paws and so we had the privelege
to cross her way. Her fur was as softest thing in creation, my skin could actually not tell WHAT exactly it was touching, only it was warm and cozy.
Besides she was so happy to see us as if we were old friends.
Sigh….and here I sit, wanting a pomeranian so badly again….
Somebody hit me.

Last year I got 2 pairs of great & cheap skater-shoes (I just love the shoe-designs) from Barcelona’s store “Pull and Bear”.
It’s a fairly unknown fashion sub-store-line from the italian concern “Zara” but with much cheaper prices and more colorful yearly-collections. And today it was the right time to get new ones – this time from our local converse&skate store in Vienna’s 7 district named “art & style”.

The fact that I last skateboarded in 2000 doesnt hold me back to still wear skatershoes. I think there isn´t such a big quality difference between the labels Emerica, Osiris and DC.

here some pics and details

The designers of OSIRIS did a great job with this TROMA II ( > google it to see the design-variety). In my opinion they produce very smart, elegant and fitting shoes and I will count myself lucky if I will ever get the chance to do a graphical print-on design for them.

Wow, what was that? I think I might have had a spring slap right into my face.
One day it is windy winter with high hankie consumption, the next day it´s  sandals and t-shirt.
Above all the farmers around the city all together decided that it was about time to fertilize the fields with cow dung,
which adds a lovely odor to the air.  Vienna: City of music and nature´s natural moo perfume. You should not miss it!

Nevertheless it is sunny outside and if you are lucky, you get to see the messengers of spring. Like at the botanic garden.

Plus we get to see our hamster lady earlier around this time of the year, for she changes her sleeping and waking habits.
No sleeping till 1 A.M., yay! That girl is so gorgeous, I want to cuddle her all the time.

I´m dreaming of a white christmas. I know, in times of global warming this might stay a dream for a really long time.
But why is it, that every year, just before christmas day, there is snow.
Lovely snow all over the city.

This time it was so very cold, that my fingers went numb within minutes and taking good pictures was a hard thing to do.
(“What ISO? I don´t care, I can´t turn the scroller anyway, my fingers are stiff!”)
People enjoyed their walk in a fast way. Cold cold cold.

And then why why why is it every year, that one day before christmas a rush of a warm weather front takes it all away?
Why? The one day of the year where a winter walk would be so totally different.
Where one could go outside, kiss snowflakes, tell the kids not to eat the yellow snow and come home to open presents in the warmth and be thankful?

I decided to be thankful anyway. We had snow. The time did not matter. In fact, if we as human kind go on like this, I might not be able to take a walk in the snow with my own kids. So at least I have pictures.
