The past weekend presented itself as the first sign of spring with sunshine, warm temperatures and typical springsounds - young boys' motorbikes and chainsaws. One would expect to cross roads with these sounds on the countryside - especially chainsaws are rarely used within city limits - but on a lengthy walk through the Prater on saturday afternoon we did hear both of them right in the heart of Vienna and this was the clear signal for us that winter is over soon and we can start looking forward to spring.
Not only nature wakes up and re-starts life after hibernation, sunday also marked the beginning of a series of new life within our friends: Leo, Mimi and Bruno's second son has arrived on Sunday evening with healthy 54cm and 4050g and is such the first one of 4 babies within our group of friends that are currently expected for 2009. We have not had a chance yet to meet Leo, but will soon visit the enlarged family.

Tuesday evening Markus supported Austrian Airlines and boarded a plane to London for a business trip and Thursday evening Kerstin as well as Peter and Lini will follow him for a weekend in the UK capital. We haven't got a detailed plan yet what we are going to do, but one can expect a lot of pegnancy outfit shopping and dining. As the British Pound is still pretty much depressed versus the EUR the weekend might either be cheap or we will return with excess luggage.
