Early wake up today. Went shopping with Lizzy and Martin. Fine dinner and then a repair job at my grandmas bath. Done. Oliver took me up and we drove to Rabnitz. Coffee and cake, children and playing, talking and then dowsing for water in the childrens room. Talking about this and that. Back home I played another "Settlers of Catan" game with Lizzy and today I really didn't win. Unfortunately. Computing with Martin and burning a DVD with pictures. Well, that have been my short hollidays at Graz.

Woke up, get out of bed, breakfast and dinner: schnitzel and chips. As desert: 4 hours of sleeping. A short trip to Helmut J. in the Wienerstraße, talking about news and happy to meet again. Next term was "Abenteuer Menschheit", a game from Klaus Teuber. Finished the evening watching "Was gibt es neues". Great day.

Woke up with 2 children in my arms. They were not sleeping, they had 100% power. So I stopped the process of sleeping. Their grandma came and we had a fine dinner. In the afternoon I did a walk through Conrad. Bought some interesting books. Met my grandma and had a fine talk. In the evening I played settlers of catan with Lizzy and had a fine evening. Now I am tired enough for sleeping.

Finished teaching at 12:30, back home, eating, packing, to the train at 16:27 and the travell begun. Overfilled train until Schwarzach/St. Veit, empty train until Graz. Wet but not rainy, warmer than in Tirol. Talking about this and that, school and router, boys and girls, strings and ... bicycles. Fine to be here.

Since today I have my new mobile in work: The Nokia N73. It can work with word, excel and powerpoint files, with flash and pdf files, has a real-player, it can edit movies, pictures and sound, it has a 3,2 MPxel camera with good zeiss-lenses and a second camera for video-call on the other side, usb connection, stereo speakers, internet connectivity, mail, full organizer, you can watch TV, it has bluetooth and infrared, and the best of all: It even works as a mobile too! ;-)

Since yesterday my nose is closed and running very quickly and very wet. Head is down on 70 %. Waiting for healthy reboot.

Heavy thunderstorm. No net at all. Caliban cannot show his presence. Thanks for all birthhelpers.

Today I met my dentist and she built up one destructed tooth and eliminated a colony of caries. Now I can bite again.

I think after 3 years I have learned some cat-talk vocabularys in cat-language:
mow-waooo: Feed me!
meeeeeeoo: Give me goodies!
muooh: Clean my toilet!
mrrrhh: Fine, you're here!
muw: yes.
mh: no,
meehhh: let me out!

*cat staring at me* - "hungry?" - mh - "toilett?" - mh - "Wanna go out?" - muw - "let's go" - muw! *off we go*; funny.

On friday evening I was in Imst and saw the act: "Krach im Hause Gott" from Felix Mitterer. I liked it. It was in the old spinning mill theatre of Imst.

I was wondering if my cat ever sleeps, so I tried to take a foto when he did. But he didn't. Look at his ear:

On saturday was the last day of Rettis visit. First we slept long. Then I teached Klausi chess. And doing that I remembered that I was tought chess when I too was at the age of 5. We went shopping, took a swim and grilled a CUG meal. Ginger meat and oriental wedge and minced meat with spice. It was a very good finishing of this visit. Afterwards we played "Saboteur" and had much fun.

On friday we were at the knight days at Ehrenberg castle. That was a great visit and a journey past in time. I saw a lot of armed and armoured knights with swords an helmets and all the stuff. There was a tourney on horses, armed with the long sticks to throw out the other knight off the horse. There were show fights with swords and the highlight was the big battle of Ehrenberg with 200 armed soldiers. This is one of the biggest events of that kind. Including cannons! A big market, blacksmiths, grilled pigs and cattle, fire blower and funmakers. I got a sunburn and 700 MB of pictures.

On Tuesday Retti from Graz came with his family in the evening. We played Munchkin until 2 a.m. On Wednesday we made a journey to the bavarian castle Neuschwanstein. It looks very impressive from outside but there are only few rooms inside installed. The finishing was cancelled after Ludwigs death. But all in all it looks very good and those of you that have seen Tschitty Tschitty Bang Bang know the castle already.

Slept long again, edited some Sudokus for breakfast, played a Settlers of Catan card game with Franzi and won. Then we drove to Burghausen to Musik Meisinger where I bought a BOSS PSA 230 AC adaptor. After a final shower I started my home run. Found a route that is 18 km shorter then the usual. And I can drive 110 km/h anyway: Laufen - Teisendorf - Traunstein - Bergen - Grassau - Marquartstein - Kössen - Oberaudorf - Obsteig. Now I am back home again. Well.
