19:10 report in "Tirol heute" about communities without electricity
19:11 I am one of these households.

60 candles stored, one gas-lamp, the phone-torch of my Nokia N9 --> enough light
Laptop-accu for 2 hours, mobile internet on the N9 --> contact to the rest of the world

21:20 Electricity again.

The test was successful!

It is still snowing blankets.

Heating is on; quite late!

For the first time this season it froze the bird-drinking-stone.

Maybe the last time for this year I was swimming in my lake and I enjoyed it very much!

This is the biggest blossom I ever had with this plant. And Eos, the cat keeps it on distance because of the strange smell. Imagine a dead deer you can find sometimes in the wood. With this fine fragrance it wants to decoy flies or dung beetles. If you want to see it, hurry up, the blossom only lasts for 3 or 4 days.

The election campaign is over and this is the result:

Strange: 35 % humidity outside, 23 deg. C outside, 20,5 deg. C inside the house

I did a donation of 150 EUR for the woman-houses of Innsbruck. Strange story: Innsbruck made an auction of the old street signs of Innsbruck which I visited. "Bozner Platz" made 1500 EUR, "Maria Theresien Straße" about 900 EUR, "Rennweg" 1200 EUR. And three signs "Innrain" were sold for each at about 700 EUR. So at the 4th sign "Innrain", were I grew up, I held up my number several times with no thought of getting it. But then: "Innrain" the fourth sign stopped at my last offering at 150 EUR and so first - second - third: It was mine. Well! Now I am the owner of the only two-line sign "Inn = rain".

Strange feeling. First night alone in my house again. Reverb in the rooms, no sound than mine.

On these two pictures you can see the two last snowfields about one houre before they were gone away for this season. This is the first time since Nov 22nd that we have no snow around the house.

In case of the light off action I turned off all the lights in the house from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. today. It was very dark in that hour!

It is still snowing outside.

It is almost spring, but winter will not go!

Today was the first day this year that I sat on the terrace, drinking my coffee, reading a newspaper. Although there is a lot of snow around I only wore a t-shirt and no stockings.
