rehearsal
We had a fine evening at the
lakeside-studios for a ferrara-rehearsal. After the song "Bubbles
for Lizzy" I recognized bubbles on my lefthand fingers. Bad sign!
So I will try to build up horny skin until next week to avoid
hurting fingers.

croatia holiday
Because of bad weather forecast we
missed the last highway exit to croatia an ended up in upper
austria in Riedersbach at my sister's home. We had some nice trips
to Altötting, Haselbach and
Braunau. We also visited
Salzburg, one
"Orgelkonzert", the Getreidegasse,
and had a wonderful time with my sister's family. Now my nephew
came with us to me to see how nice Tirol and his uncle are.

heating season
Today, Aug. 6th, we first started the
heating season for this year. As the temperature was below 13
deg.Celsius for for the last four days (in the evening), we fired
the oven today to get acceptable temperatures in the house. I think
we finished the last firing season at beginning of June this
year.

TeX
Started to figure out TeX. On my
system teTeX. And as I tested, I read the homepage of Thomas Esser. There he wrote, that
he will not develop tetex anymore. I should join tex live. So I will have to
change my installation. Tried out some tex-commands. I think I will
change my preparation of the lessons for school to tex. Mostly to
learn how to use the system. I created an article that is usefull
for me. But then I started searching howtos in the internet, and it
seems that TeX is not as easy as I thought. But I will take it as
challenge for the next year. It is a combined challenge for TeX and
emacs. Wonder what I will tell you in one year.

Slept long
, because: Went home on sunday, got
to bed at 6 p.m., slept until 3 p.m. next day exept a short break
for mini-lunch. Went straight to the doctor and he said: ulcerously
angina. Got antibiotica and anti-hurt-pills. At 7 p.m. I went to my
dentist an she filled up two teeth. And she was very pleased that
the other doctor gave me those anti-hurt-pills and the
antibioticas, because they would help against possible troubles
with my teeth too.
