Last.fm in Vienna

This morning snow fall and cold temperatures encouraged me to relocate. Now I'm sitting in front of the only proper heating system in this house.

Summer 2009

A lot has happened since my last entry. The biggest change in my life has been that I've decided to follow Gwen and return to Vienna. We had never planned to stay in London forever. But even sticking to the plan wasn't an easy decision as there is a lot I really like in London.

I've put together a tiny selection of some of the pictures from the last months.

In May Gwen and I spent a weekend with friends in Amsterdam. Here's a picture of Gwen, Reinhard, and me. Amsterdam with its canals is one of the prettiest cities I've visited.



One sunny Sunday in June Gwen and I were randomly walking through London when we bumped into a piano. No one was around so Gwen gave it a try. Street pianos are a great idea.



Another picture taken in June is this one. Gwen tried to teach me how to dance at a friends wedding. Tonight Gwen will be taking me to dance lessons.



Here's a picture taken in July. One of my favorite places near London is Dover with it's white cliffs.



In August my little sister visited me in London and we went to Greenwich. Behind the sky scrapers in the picture is where Gwen and I lived in London.



Also in August Gwen and I made a weekend trip to Paris where we saw this cute dragon. One of the nice things about London is that you can take fast trains to many great places (including Paris and Amsterdam). I never realized that - like London- Paris has many museums that don't charge admissions. This picture was taken in one of these visitor friendly museums.



And here's where Gwen and I have moved to. We're spending almost all of our free time trying to bring the house back into shape. The last 1.5 days I spent cleaning up the garden - now it's possible to use the drive way again!



One of the nicest things about the house is the view from the big roof terrace. Here's the evening view looking away from Vienna. It doesn't feel like living in a city.
