…at least when it comes to construction drawings, re-building and the law. The law is always the tricky part, as it’s not always common sense but a jungle of paragraphs not many of us can decode. Or shall I say, I have some issues with the purpose of some of the laws created, not that I am against following them, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that there is no real goal with them at all…

Thank God, there are people, whom I have the pleasure to know, giving me the guiding principle and helping hand, when I express an urgent cry for help.  Generally, everybody should have following occupations covered in their family if possible; a lawyer, a financial adviser, a handy-man (woman), an architect and a tax-adviser. I am dearly thankful though, that friends are willing to put up with my ever so intelligent questions(?) once in a while.

Still counting the days until the new fireplace arrives. I don’t really mind the cold, but as I am a person, getting cold quickly and during the winter months my body heat must be close to zero, I am not really appreciating the kitchen to lack a fire place. Full stop.

Rain did actually turn into snow during the night. Even though we didn’t need to get out the shovels in Techelsberg this morning, I guess our neighbours in Velden did. This afternoon, there was still snow some kilometres to the west from us,   when driving to Villach and the Karawanken where shining white in-front of me. The air smelled as winter does, cold air, mixed with wood burning in the stoves and leafs decomposing.

Will now enjoy a glass of red wine,

So long - thumbs up for outsourcing..
