Monday and mud

It’s Monday and I can’t concentrate on translation. I’m too tired and the radio is on, bothering me. Why am I tired? I stayed up late to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which was a complete waste of time. It snowed again this weekend, and it’s snowing as I write this. We had a [...]

And boy are my legs tired!

I went for a run today with Stefan. Austrian workdays end just after lunchtime on Friday, so it’s the perfect day to get some outdoors time in before it gets dark (which is around 4:30 these days). We only wanted to go out for 40 or 50 minutes, but I suggested we run a new [...]

Another long overdue post

Stefan’s sick and sleeping on the couch.  It’s amazing how much a person can sleep when he’s sick, isn’t it?  He slept virtually all of yesterday, then through the night, at 6am woke up (unsurprisingly) and transferred to the couch, where he’s been sleeping since then.  With a break for breakfast.  Unbelievable almost, but he [...]

Lazy busy

I have been so lazy about posting it’s almost embarassing. So here is a list of things that have happened recently: 1. Stefan has done the impossible. He has coaxed me into buying some running shoes and into going running. I have been 3 times now, and it’s not so bad, once the horrible stich [...]
