The art of breakfasting

Last week we had a first impression of hot life will be once the two flats next to ours are being occupied as a film crew used both apartments as location for shooting a series of TV advertisements for telekom austria. Knowing the empty rooms and flats it will be very interesting to see how they look like readily prepared for the shooting. Unfortunately for the crew the weather turned cold and rainy, so they even had to organise a crane from which “sunlight” was provided.

During the course of Wednesday the clouds cleared up and temperatures rose slightly which was perfect timing as we have planned a late “Mother’s Day” barbecue on our roof terrace. Surrounded by a hungry and tired film crew we kick-started our Weber-Q200 and prepared fish, pork, turkey and vegetables alongside fresh salads for Markus’ mom, Ines and Stefan & Viki followed by yummy Banana Split. The evening was very nice and went by very fast – the only one missing was Markus’s dad who unfortunately could not come to Vienna for that occasion.

The weather improved even further towards the weekend and by Saturday we had summer weather back again which meant that we spent lots of time on our roof terrace in the sun again. Sunday morning Kerstin’s god-child Rosemarie and Sandra came by for breakfast and we spent hours eating, playing and painting. Kerstin and Rosemarie produced a beautiful picture of a dinosaur which we are planning to place somewhere in our little one’s room.

The very good news for this week is that the weather is supposed to be getting even better and a holiday on Thursday makes the week a short one and provided the perfect setting for Heidi’s visit to Vienna, arriving in Wednesday night.
