I played Euro-Millionen for the first time because of the 180.000.000 EUR possibility, knowing the chances of winning as 1 to 76.000.000. And know what? I cracked the jackpot. Say, a little tiny crack. I won 9,40 EUR. It was topped by a lotto 4 on sunday with 58,70 EUR. Hey, the chance winning in both games the same time is nearly impossible. The beginning of richness!

Today I did my job as Gregoas Hausmasta. It was exchanging the seal of gregors bathtubs fittings. His words were: "So easy? thats all?". I will think about opening a caretakers service.

At least normal timezone is back again: middle european timezone. Now I can sleep as long as I want and do not have to wake up 1 hour earlier.

On saturday I was on the loveliest wedding I ever was, Gudrun's and Philipp's. Played guitar in the Wiltener Basilika and then had a very nice party at the Grünwalderhof. All acts at the party showed the deep love between them and that all their friends know this, so all acts had only one goal: to show that they were made for each other. I wish them decades of fine time together.

Today I got my new glasses. Even the woman at Miller-Optik was proud of the glasses and she said that they fit best on me. Have your own look as soon as possible.

Today was the first lesson in italian. It was a solo-lesson, because I was the only one. But there will be 6 in future. Interesting: I told Pino that I can order a pizza or gelati but not more, but he started teaching me only in italian. Thanks I have pre-knowledge. come ti chiami? non sono italiano! Studio italiano ma no parlo. Soltanto un poco.
Io: come ti chiami? lui: sono Pino. Io: Di dove sei? Lui: Sono di Satriano, regione Basilicata.
He told me that he normaly uses 3 lessons to finish chapter 1. Today finally we startet with chapter 2 at the end of the lesson. Ok, I am happily looking forward to next years visit in Italy.

Today I finished my first GELI-model after 30 years. A McDonnel F-4E Phantom II. It lasted some months, because I built it in the rare spare minutes I have. GELI-models are made out of paper in the scale 1:33 1/3.

On thursday I had a fine hike to the Amberger house, starting from Gries / Ötztal. It was 2 hours hiking in and 2 hours hiking back. Have a look here.

In the last days, when my nephew Meiki

was here, we played the card game "settlers of catan". We played all 6 extensions in 10 games. The score is 6:4 for him. He plays quite good.

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. :-)

, 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.

With friends of Graz we went to Hochimst and enjoyed the run with the alpine coaster. Klausi (age 4) wanted me to be his driver, and I am a _very_ fast driver! He enjoyed it too. He always screamd "Gasgeben, gasgeben!" It was a great, funny experience. The final act was a damage of my right middle-finger. A strain af the tendon. But I hope it will be healed until Ferrara.

The last days at home I thought it was hot. 36 deg C on the terrace, 32 deg C at the north part of the house in the shadow. But yesterday I was cycling in Innsbruck. I had no thermometer but there must have been 36 deg C in the shadow parts of the streets. I nearly colapsed. Sweating didn't stop until late in the evening. Now it's cool: 20 deg C outside and 25 deg C inside.

Drove home without difficulties. Checked emails, copied photographs to PC, fell asleep.

Cloudy day so I read 007 Moonraker between all other activities. 171 pages. Family talk in the evening.
