Update A

You know the feeling when a friend asks you how you spent the summer and you want to refer him to your blog - only to look at your blog yourself and realising that you didn't really publish anything... uups.

So, update A as Away.

We've been away :-)

 

And yes, this is A, the largest sailing yacht in the world.
If you look closely, you will see a regular yacht in front of it :-)

Le vent

You know, when you take a couple of days off work so you can catch up with all the other things that have been piling up for a couple of months now...

But the late autumn sun is shining and the wind, the wiiind is blowing. You just can't stay inside but rather go out and postpone the already postponed things ...

But the wind - so pure and so powerful.

And then I switch on the radio (Radio Paradise) and the first song I hear is Le vent nous portera.

Nix

Thought of the day:

Das ist das Schöne am Weggehen. 
Man kann nix machen außer nix.

Said a man sitting next to me on a porch, drinking a cold beer and watching the sunset.

He is so so right.

"New" Music

Since I started regular Body-balance classes, I learned about so many great new bands/singers/songs, most of them fairly unknown in (this part of) Europe. So I filled up my MP3 player with obscure NZ bands and am loving it! However ... all of them are some sort of ambient, pop, indie ...

So I wanted to see if there is some new music more on the rocky side. And just out of curiosity I switched to MTV Rocks to see what's new.

And I got (in no particular order) Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Offspring, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Coldplay, Oasis, Kings of Leon, Linkin Park ...

All legendary bands and great music, but I mean, really?!?

The only new band to me is Biffy Clyro, formed in 1995!

Union Hotel

 My absence is excused.

I'm spending all days behind these wonderful Art Deco windows.

 In Hotel Union, Ljubljana.

But I will make it up.

One day.

I promise.

Update: some more pictures of the hotel.

 We're having poster sessions here :-)

Fact.

I love thunderstorms.

I love the rain, I love the thunder, I love the lightnings, I love their smell.

What could be better than reading a good book and listening to the storm outside!

Me happy.
