Today I visited Charly, and old friend of mine. He showed me his newest creation which I would call "The horror place of scrambled tanks". Built in scale 1/35 out of parts of model kits of the last 50 years that were left over.

Didn't sleep as long as usual, had breakfast and dinner. Then we took our way back home and had a first stop after 15 minutes at the shop FIALA in Laufen. Bought some acrylic paints and a model kit. Drove via Traunstein - Schleching - Walchsee - Niederndorf to Innsbruck, were I took the train back home. It were some fine days with my sister, my mother and my nephews.

Tried to sleep as long as possible, but my nephew Franzi topped me. I woke up at 1 p.m. Took a walk around the "Hö¶llerersee", enjoyed the lazy summers evening, played "Watten" until early in the morning.

Slept until I woke up, and that took a long time. Went to watch a local soccer game, were my nephews play. After taking some pics and standing in wind and rain, I went home and then shopping. In the evening I taught my mother "Watten", a card game. And then, when my sister came home, we played Watten until 3:20 a.m. Not enough night for sleeping left.

On friday I travelled to my sister by train, the first time I was in an ICE. Quite fast. On the other side the speed was relevated by the "Salzburger Lokalbahn" afterwards, where I almost could pick up flowers while riding the train.
We drank some beer while talking about this and that and some "seconds" later it was 2:30 a.m.

Imagine, what sound occures, if you have an animal, called Tettigonia viridissima, male, IN your room. In the nature, you can hear the chirpy-chirpy sound about 50 m, but wow, that's great. Even harder was to find the Great Green Bush Cricket. It hears very good, jumps some meters and can fly good too. But I catched it and set it free. Now the silence is very fine.

Today at 10 a.m. Martin and his family went back home to Graz. I cleaned up the house, had a walk with the dog and ended at the relounched "Seepark-Fest". In the evening I played guitar and so it was a very nice sunday.

Martin and I went shopping to the M-Preis at Barwies, enjoying a coffee. Then we were at the Seepark-party and had some beer. We finished his visit with a game of "Settlers of Catan". and ended up quite late. But it was very fine that he and Lizzy and the two kids were here! What will be next year?

On friday Martin and I met an old friend at the DEZ, Fil, he showed us his new Yamaha chopper, 1900 ccm, 130 PS. Then he went back to Salzburg. We went shopping to MediaMarkt, ToysRus and C & A. In the evening we had a fine Grillage during a heavy rain. But all tasted very well! We finished the day with a card game "Munchkin" ... very nice!

On thursday I visited with Retti and Lizzy and the kids the castle of Ambras with all the knight-armour and mysterious things, Maximilian collected. In addition we visited the special exhibition about Dracula, which was in the castle.
Then we went to the mountain Isel and had a look at the ski jump arena and the tower that Zaha Hadid created.
After a coffee at the Bierstindl, where we met my Mam we took a Pizza and then visited the "Emperor Maximilian I. show" in front of the golden roof. There were knight-fights, fire-shows, dancing-shows and a Joker, all in the style of the 16th century. Quite nice! And the kids had their fun.

On wednesday I ordered my new car at the carshop Nagiller in Lans. It will arrive in week 40. I am happyly looking forward!
