Remember last week- when I told you about the cold and wet weather with 53°F? 7 days later it´s the other way round- temperature 90°+F! What a difference, now summer has started.
It´s a bit hard to concentrate on reading or writing in this heat but I make progress.
BTW- I bought my first item on ebay- an electronic dictionary for less than 2 $! Hope it works, too:-) I´ll see. I love books but for the new course I prefer the new medias. Smaller than a calculator.So I don´t have to carry the thick old dictionary with me.
And for those of you who like to eat (and bake and cook) as much as I do- here ´s the perfect page for you---> http://fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/
Just tried the strawberry spinach salad- yummy!! I have never combined strawberries and salad before-but it´s refreshing. So let´s cook, bake and enjoy!!

Today I´ve started....
...the new Inline-Skating Season.
Finally!
This bike path is one of my inline-routes.
Took some photos of cornflowers and poppies. They looked good in the sun. Well, everything looks brighter and nicer in sunlight. I was so sun- hungry after a rainy month. I didn´t fall- success!!
...and I finished another asssignment successfully!!!! What a good day:-) Wish you all a good day as well;-)
Have fun and enjoy life!

Great time in Styria!
How relaxing short holidays can be:) Spent the last days in Styria-Austria on a little fruit farm.
View from my room- vineyard and apple trees opposite.
I took so many pictures during these nearly 3 days- here are just some impressions from Styria. I´ll post many of them on my photo-corner.
One day I visited a thermal bath- built by Hundertwasser, an Austrian Artist. It ´s an interesting style- comparable to Gaudi´s work in Spain, influenced by the Viennese Jugenstil, too. I really love his work.
After this relaxing day where I had time to read as well, I visited a "Buschenschank"- in Vienna 
the little bistro would be called "Heurigen". If you think, you know the German language, visit Styria. I had great difficulties in understanding this dialect. It´s a different culture as well sometimes;-)

I think I gained weight there:) It´s all sooooooo delicious!!!! You really have to try it one time!
To get a taste- here a 2 person meal- not just mine! Yummy!!!

Where is the sun?
June 2010rain, rain, rain,........
temperature: 53 ° F!I can´t remember a year, when I had to heat the flat in June!
Took the photo at my parents house- it was so cosy with the fire.
While I am writing these lines I am smiling because of having to heat nearly in summer and because I ´m sounding like an old aunt, always complaining about the weather.
Have to stop that and drink my lemon balm tea - but not an iced one;-)
I like that photo of my glass of tea- taking a glass instead a cup is cool for taking photos but not so cool for drinking hot tea.
But I nearly do everything for a great shot;-)
My mood is getting better and better- I just have to avoid looking out of the window. Will bake some white bread, then it´s warmer , too:-) lol
I organized a meeting in an ice cream parlor in the mid of June, but fortunately there is a coffee shop around the corner where we could have some tea and coffee instead of the cold icecream.
It´s so crazy! That should be spring- nearly summer???
But the good thing is, I have to spend time at home. So no excuse for not writing.
And I make good time , gladly!! Now I write one assignment after the other ( or 2 at the same time) and although it had been a hard weekend, I finally finished one piece of writing. At the end of the working year- before holidays -writing isn´t that easy sometimes. But all in all there is progress! Yeah! And tomorrow again time to relax! Again a longer weekend here. Great!
