Today there was a thunderstorm that I had'nt seen before. After 3 minutes the water barrels were filled to the top. The lightnings lasted one hour.

Of all the cars of visitors in the Seepark colony we had the most impressiv today. Claudias brother came and he drives a Porsche Cayenne. Wow, what a view in front of the house.

One of our neighbours invited us to a housewarming party. The interiour of his house costed much more than the house alone. Imagine what features it has. wow! Beginning was on friday at 8 p.m. I went back home on saturday at 6 a.m. But I dont remember exactly how. It was a fine night. The following saturday I slept until 5 p.m. and then drove to Claudias mothers birthdayparty. No alcohol, no cigarettes because of too much the night before. Welcome to another week!

Today I croped two trees in our garden: A peartree and a plumtree. Let's see how they grow and if we can harvest.
 

Some days ago we heard a curious sound. The other day we were looking for the reason and found Helga the toad on the ground of the lake. Here she is:

Thanks it's snowing again. The places arround the house had got a snowy covery. Puh! I thought spring was coming, but right now winter is winning! I wonder what tomorrow morning it will look like!

After waking up in the morning I opened the front door and thought I couldn't beleave my eyes. Too much snow! It took me 1 hour to free my drive out of the car port. So I missed the first train and was too late for the first lesson. Fernpass closed. From Fronhausen to Mötz a lot of standing lorrys without snowchains. But have a look at your own and compare with yesterday evening:
The terrace:

The front side of the house:

Gipsy is too small for this amount of snow:

No snow sticks visible at the side of the street. This is the lookout of the front door:

Long expected, but finally we got it: snow. Unfortunately it is still March and not November. I had to clean the carport driveout and had to remove 20 cm new snow. Thanks, it was powder-snow.

Looking north, in the background the B 189:

Looking south over the lake:


update: now, 4 hours later there is about more than twice as much snow lying outside.

I completed the light in the carport by installing a current socket, a light switch and a lamp with motion switch-on.

With Bernhards, a teacher colleague, help I installed 7 current sockets and 2 light switches. Also the socket and switch for the carport. That caused a hole in the wall. Afterwards I closed all unwanted holes with plaster and tomorrow I will paint the walls with silmallin, a white chalk wall-colour. Made from a company this would cost about 1000 EUR, knowing how to make it by myself it costs 70 EUR. God thanks I know how to do this things.

Today I mounted a bookshelf in the living-room. Fine. Maybe a place for a little spacecraft?

After 18 month of living here my cat found a new place to explore: Katharinas high-bed. I don't know how he managed the stairway, but have a look at your own:
A view from high above.

There must be something higher!

Looking down the stairs.

I did it!

When I woke up this morning, I saw little pieces of snow lying on some places. Oh, not the amount of snow that the forecast told. But when the train came nearer to Hall, the snow became more and more. In the five minutes by bike to school I became wet all over. In the meantime here in Obsteig too there lies a lot of snow. Gipsy's feet are too short to walk over the field. She sinks.

Today is the first day that our lake begins to freeze. From our rain-pot I took out today a 3cm thick round slice of ice. I placed it beside the street. Looks nice.

Coming home from a games evening, I found my car (in Mötz) covered with snow, so I had to clean it. Driving home was tricky. Little sliding round the corner. Sounds like a song title, but that was the style I drove home. In Obsteig I met the salt-car, but in the other direction. The snow lies about 1 cm high. I can measure the grip of my tyres in the snow. -4,6 degrees Celsius right now (1:16 a.m.)
