Life on a Sunday

I woke up with a sick pain in my throat this morning. Man, I don't really want to fall sick. It's not fun, especially in this cold weather. The thermometer read something like 14 Deg Celsius. Yucks, there goes the summer. So now it's back to the jackets, the sweaters and whatnot. Blah. Now I slowly start understanding why Europeans love the sun so much. Coming from 20 years with nothing *but* the sun, I craved cooler climes. Now I start asking for more moderate temperatures, like a constant 24-26 deg celsius. That would be excellent. Neither too hot nor too cold.

This weekend, there was an airshow in the little private airport near my flat. Being on the top storey with nothing much obstructing, I managed to get a good view of a few of the performances and planes. Check these pics out. It was the best I could do with my little Hewlett Packard digital camera.




Then came the rain. Fast and unexpected, thunder and lightning everywhere. If you look closely, the rain resembles tropical rain more than european rain. However it's been happening more often recently. Probably the effect of global warming. Bush and his policies be damned. Go on, feel bad for the poor people stuck in the rain.



In the evening we went one of the restaurants to check it out. Not too bad, just that we got there a little after 9pm and they said the kitchen tended to close early on Sunday evenings. Riiiiight. I don't see this one being an option then. Nonetheless the food was decent - I smelt alcohol in the meat - and I decided that I could not pronounce this word - Rindergeschnetzeltes - yups it's a mouthful.


The Lindenhof - not too bad, not too good. What is a Linden anyway? >_<


One of my favourite dishes. Now if it has less meat and more green......it would be more healthy.

So now, I sit here, full and contented, and wishing for more Kate Beckinsale ala Underworld. That movie might be mindless violence, but corsets, latex, pleather, vampires, gothic atmospheres and hot chicks seem to do it for me. ^^
