Back from Vienna

After more than a year, we finally managed to make a one-day-trip to our beloved Vienna again. We were supposed to go there last summer, but Mum got into the hospital just a day before. So, we were both very happy about it.

The day was great, although very exhausting. Stupid trains were late by almost an hour, it was very cold in the morning and in the evening, so I might get ill yet (hope I won't, though - took aspirin and will bake tomorrow, which provides a nice, warm environment).

In any case, we had fun. And I got a real Easter treat by Saturn (the electronics shop). I found the boxed edition of Atlantis' 5th season, which was the primary reason why I wanted to go. Aside from that, Babylon 5 and Andromeda seasons were on sale, so now I'm the proud owner of the B5 episodes I lacked from the 5th season. Granted, I had to buy the whole 5th season for that, but I got it for a third of the original price, so I call it a bargain.

The usual pre-Easter insanity was largely over already, but it wasn't so bad, honestly. We got a handful of small chocolate bunnies and bees (they're freaking cute), bought a raisin bread at Anker's (the best bakery chain in Austria), so that I won't have to bake it, too, tomorrow... and it's actually better than mine, the dough isn't that heavy.

So, I'm a happy camper. Easter decoration (painted eggshells) is ready, Easter eggs are coloured, Easter ham is cooked, Easter bread is bought - all I have to do tomorrow is to bake Ischler and Russischen Zupfkuchen, and the feast is being cared for. Yay!

It's a good thing, actually, as I've finished the next chapter of "Atlantis Café" and need to type it up.

I'm really glad to hear that the two of you had such a good time! :-)

Was planning on visiting Vienna with the family - I thought it fell through but it may actually become reality after all - and have always heard it's a lovely city.

And so busy you've been with all your Easter preparations. Happy holidays (if that's appropriate for this particular holiday).

Here's hoping you won't get ill, and I'm glad you had a good trip to Vienna.
Happy Easter to both of you!

Congratulations on finding The Preciousessssss!!!
And I'm delighted to hear you and Mum had a good visit to Wien. A well-deserved break for the both of you.
