Seperated, deprived and yet all smiling

On Sunday after the christening our families separated again into all possible directions – to the Burgenland, Vorarlberg, Spain and Poland. While Kerstin and Jakob started their Easter vacation early and joined Sandra and Flo on Sunday evening driving to Bregenz, Markus stayed at home in order to fly to Warsaw for exciting two days visiting companies with a client and returning via Frankfurt where he met some clients.

Hey, what is better than eating outdoors?

Jakob enjoyed the spring weather dining outside on the terrace in the sunshine and going shopping with the ladies which he seemed to like as well (hmm – may one of the reasons for that be, that he joined all the ladies in the changing room??) Markus in the meantime went to work, tried to get the flat sorted and followed the Sweet Sixteen round of the March madness. As a result of watching the games Washington vs. West Virginia and Xavier vs. Kansas State until 0530 Friday morning as the latter game was only decided after 2 overtimes and the fact that there was no junior who woke him up he overslept and was late at work. Obviously all his colleagues knew that he was home alone and he could only save himself by buying all of them coffee.

There is one thing: in the first row in front of the catwalk!

As on the weekend already the Elite Eight round was played there was more college hoops to watch, but luckily Markus could sleep in both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night though his bet on this year’s college champion was lost as the Butler Bulldogs managed to fend off mighty Kentucky Wildcats after an early lead of UK and advanced to the Final Four on the Easter Weekend in Indianapolis. With clocks being put forward Sunday night due to the change to European Summer Time, we all were “stolen” one hour which is compensated though with brighter evenings. With the time having been shifted Jakob’s sleeping rhythm has changed (actually his rhythm is unchanged and its only 1 hour later that he wakes up and goes to bed!) and we are not entirely sure yet if we want to bring him back to the usual times. We are still thinking about that – Markus in the office in London and Kerstin in Bregenz and a decision will be taken soon though.

Jakob, Kerstin & Markus
