…going with the flow…

…. or might we have to challenge the status quo?

I had a peculiar incident the other day, walking through one of my favorite places. I might want to add that this special place is a shoe-shop just close to my flat in Vienna. I was standing next to a woman in her mid thirties. She had a pair of pink runners in her hand and was talking to someone…or something… with her eyes closed. I did’t think further of it, but when I overheard her debating with this invisible friend of hers, if she should buy the shoes or not and somethings down the line of  - that the shoes would most definitely be worn and not just hanging around the closet. This conversation, or rather monologue went on for ages, but I stood put as I was slightly intrigued about the outcome and to be honest, wanted to butt right in and say; “for the love of God, buy them and stop fidgeting about!” There is no such thing as a bad buy. Not when it comes down to shoes anyway…. Even if you never wear them - they will still look good every time you open those closet doors!  Haven’t made up my mind yet why anybody would want bright pink runners though, but she seemed fond of them, so I didn’t want to challenge her taste at this sensitive moment.  If I would have this conversation every time I am in a shoe shop the opening hours might need to be extended. Not due to the long conversations I might have, but rather the number of shoes that needed to be debated…

Next weekend - the Fete Blanche will be THE event around Wörthersee and not only people dress all in white, but the whole area turns into a big white party strip. The good thing is that you at least see people when driving during night time. With Fete Noir - it’s a different story…

It cooled off a bit today, even though the rain we had, was not much to mention and we will reach the 35°C again within the next days. My “spoiltrotten” dog has enjoyed the coolness of the flat, turned my bed into his war zone and stretches out, leaving 10% to my disposal… not that I have spent much in it the last nights. It’s been to hot and some many other things I have been fiddling about with. You probably all know how it feels like when trying to nick some of those hours of sleep onto the day due to that the hours you are awake aren’t enough for all the things you want to finalize.

Oh, and I saw our little crocodile the other day again. (Oh well, it’s not really a crocodile.. ) We actually have three… was concerned I had locked them up underneath the freshly laid stones… one survived at least and she is the one which is not marked from our handy work around the house. One of them has no tail and the other one some white paint on her backside - but they have been here for years, so I guess we have made up for some minor accidents…

There will always be a different opinion - only ask for it if you can handle it.

So long - stay safe
