…joyful day! The stock of Swedish crispbread evaporates rather quickly in this household and a trip to IKEA had to be conducted. Unfortunately, we never leave the IKEA food store with what the original purchase plan said and bags (notice the plural) later we finally become happy shoppers. We never take the main road to Klagenfurt ,but via Moosburg and then passing Tessendorf, where I by coincidence discovered another small church. The surrounding and the Church”garden” could use improvements, but all-in-all I do have a fable for small churches and do think they are sweet. Not really sure that the general purpose of churches should be sweet though and I suspect that there is a greater meaning to it all.

After the IKEA visit in Klagenfurt the trip continued via Villach to [1] Fürnitz , [2] Finkenstein and returning via [3] Faak am See and [4] Rosegg, where we stopped at the Zoo and its castle for a walk with the dog. A great day, with sun and warm temperatures not really normal for end of October.

This morning it’s gray-in-gray outside and the warmth underneath the duvet felt more inviting then taking a walk. Despite the fact, that the dear Elfe dog likes to sleep in, he was very persistent this morning getting me out of bed. Usually, the opposite belongs to the morning ritual and the spoilt four-legged friend needs to be pushed out of his dreams.

So, almost downed my second cup of coffee and the day can begin for real.

So long - almost ending October
