We had a visit of spring and summery temperatures in Vienna for some days in April but at the end this last month was a mix of everything imaginable - weatherwise! I'm really happy that the flowers in the balcony survived the cold nights but as of this weekend summer finally arrived on the balcony. I will show you some pictures either here or on my Instagram soon.
For next week I want to see your pictures about Travel
I am a born and raised Austrian so I don't know the movie "The Sound of Music". It's always hilarious when Americans want to know if Austria is like in this movie and you have to tell them that basically no Austrian has ever seen it.
The only part I know is this:
It was also the inspiration for this week's topic - so here are a few of my favorite thing.
Music - especially Lady Antebellum and The Corrs Books - mysteries like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and her Fox and O'Hare series co-written with Lee Goldberg and Terry Pratchett's Discworld series Crime series on TV - Castle is my absolute favorite Flowers - in all variation
This week's topic was Black & White and I had lots of fun thinking about what to do for it. I wanted to do a black & white edition of a photo and discovered that flowers work best and now I couldn't decide which picture to use so you'll get two.
Next week I want your photos for the following topic:
As a dog owner I can watch Felix sleep in the weirdest positions but one thing is always the same - he has to have contact with something. The couch, a leg of a table, the wall, a cabinet, a person's leg, ...
These snapshots were all captured on different evenings.
I am not a fan of German lyrics even though German is my native language. So I mainly listen to songs with English lyrics which also means mainly to English bands, singers, songwriters...
but
(there's always a "but", right?) there are two or three exceptions and one of them is
Roger Cicero. I know that not many of you will know him but sadly he passed away last week as was announced today.
He was an extraordinary singer and songwriter with deep and meaningful and often also entertaining lyrics and he was an amazing singer. He was a musician with all his heart and soul. I am shocked by his death since he was only 45 years old, in good health and on his way to start his new tour but sadly someone had other plans for him.
I will miss him and all the potential songs he would have written in the future. I am a bit lost for words but wanted to at least mention how much I loved and respected this great German musician and for all of you interested, here are some of my favorite songs by Roger.
I am so sorry guys but somehow last week taking and posting a picture completely slipped my mind. I will make up for it someday soon but for now let's keep rolling with week 12 and the topic Mark.
As a reader and collector I immediately thought of bookmarks.
As a student and stationary addict I immediately thought of markers.
As a daughter I immediately thought of my mum - the person who left the biggest mark on me, my life, my personality, ...
Thank you mum for always being there for me.
For being my best friend, my travelling buddy, the person I can tell everything to, someone who will always give me her honest opinion (even if it hurts), my rock, my inspiration.
Next week I will try not to post something as sappy as this week again but it will be around the topic
