Feria

The Feria de Álora started two days ago and continues until Sunday. I'm going to check it out tonight :)

Have a great weekend.

This weekend ...

was lazy and hot ... and watermelon juice is a favorite right now. Do you have a favorite juice?

Leaves

Love the color of copper beeches. These photos are taken in Stadtpark, Vienna last week.

This Easter

has been cold and rainy. We did no go into town to see the processions, if there were any, because of the heavy rain showers.




The sky and the clouds have been very beautiful to watch though.

Time

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Albert Einstein

and I think it would be very sad if there were no seasons.

I have discovered lavenders, thyme, almond and olive trees on the land of our new home and a lot of wild spring flowers I don't know the names of ... yet. With time I hope to learn a lot more about all this.

Monday was Valentine's Day

in many corners of the world. I think it was introduced in Denmark with some success in the early nineties by the flower and jewellery shops.

My man gives me flowers and sometimes also jewellery, but NOT on Valentine's Day :)

Winter warm

The roses in Vienna's Volksgarten are keeping warm during the winter months. It looks a little bizarre, I think.

A click on the last picture with the rose will take you to an old post if you feel like seeing some of the beautiful roses in bloom.

Have a great weekend.

Corner view: Winter

on a sunny day at Costa del Sol.

These shots are from today around noon time ... if you drive a couple of hours you will get to the snow in Sierra Nevada that you can see in the distance on the first picture.

The Christmas days ...

were about food, drink, presents, relaxing, reading ...

Christmas break

Merry Christmas everybody ...back again next week.

Cold ...

I will be busy today as I have spent the last three days more or less in bed with a cold, and now I have to get the last Christmas things done before my family will start arriving. Yay!

Have a great weekend.

Corner view: Traditions

Meet my yule nisse. He comes out every year around Christmas time and if I don't treat him well he can be vary naughty hiding or breaking things, make food taste strange, not bring any presents, etc.

More corner views about traditions here.

New week ...

Happy Monday.
This week will be a short one. Today is Constitution Day in Spain and a public holiday. Wednesday is also a holiday :)

Corner view: Rain

This week's corner view theme Rain is perfectly timed. It has been raining and raining and raining.

In my previous post Orange Monday I wrote that there was orange alert. In Spain they use these weather warning definitions:

White
Missing, insufficient, outdated or suspicious data.

Green
No particular awareness of the weather is required.

Yellow
The weather is potentially dangerous. The weather phenomena that have been forecast are not unusual, but be attentive if you intend to practice activities exposed to meteorological risks. Keep informed about the expected meteorological conditions and do not take any avoidable risk.

Orange
The weather is dangerous. Unusual meteorological phenomena have been forecast. Damage and casualties are likely to happen. Be very vigilant and keep regularly informed about the detailed expected meteorological conditions. Be aware of the risks that might be unavoidable. Follow any advice given by your authorities.

Red
The weather is very dangerous. Exceptionally intense meteorological phenomena have been forecast. Major damage and accidents are likely, in many cases with threat to life and limb, over a wide area. Keep frequently informed about detailed expected meteorological conditions and risks. Follow orders and any advice given by your authorities under all circumstances, be prepared for extraordinary measures.

Weekend

I know it's a little early, but this weekend I really want to visit some of the Christmas markets that start this weekend as this will be my last one here in Vienna until February next year. So I hope the weather will behave ok :)

Last weekend I saw Wall Street: Money Never Dies, which I really liked, and I re-discovered this music. I have been listening to it all week.

Have a great weekend.
