Call Me In: From Couch 25k

Thanks to TheStylishShoeGirl in Brisbane, whose postings on the topic "From Couch 25k" are ever so motivating, I laced my shoes up and started to run. You don't need an Iphone, the workout goes like this:
5 min warm-up / 60secs running / 120secs walking / 60secs running / 120 secs walking / etc.
For details, visit the the From Couch 25k website.

EDIT:
oops, I just realized, it should be 90 and not 120secs walking. Ok, lets say I also found some online ressources which recommend no more than 5-10 secs running during the first week. Might turn it up a notch next week though. :-D

Last saturday I mastered the first workout. I start the workout right at my door and while running/walking in the evening I see ...

... people matching companies' cooperate designs.

... bins with information overkills (some people commented earlier how clean the streets are. Maybe it is because you can call them? ;-)

... Caran d'Ache fading
(yes, I am cheating, this is not evening light.)

... young men telling me Vienna is a cool city

... the most beautiful light in the early evening

... a close up around the corner

... and again the beautiful light
Information in the Object

And: there are a lot of clocks surrounding me. In Vienna you don't need a wrist-watch, so you would need some other excuse why you need that Rolex, take a look:

evangelic time


rug-time

roman-catholic time

jeweller-time

Have a good time!

Why Would I Reveal My Sign?

The pendant and the necklace have been a gift from my grandmother after my birth.
if you click on the photo, it enlarges and you will see the two girls look like those scary kids in a horror film, nice at the first sight but turn out to be monsters with a shining aura.


I started wearing the necklace and the pendant again recently. Probably because it looks nice with the blonde hair. I also fancy the retro design which screams "made in the 1970's".
But am I revealing too much when showing others my sign of the zodiac? You dpn't see those pendants around a lot anymore.

There are a lot of prejudices when it comes to the signs of the zodiac. I for myself am biased towards Libra, Aries and Cancer. Sometimes I feel antipathies when meeting someone. When he/she tells me his or her sign, often they happen to be the same signs over and over. I wont tell you which signs I am biased against. :-)

In case you don't favour Geminis, my ascendent is Virgo and you can tell by the posting with the toothbrush - my ascendent has an strong impact on me. hehe.

Comfort Zone


I just love spending the evenings within my own four walls. There is much I love about the place where I live - the outline of the appartment, the furnitures Mr Paula and I chose together and most of all the calm. These days I value the calm during the evenings so much, since the noise coming from the huge construction site vis a vis wakes me up every morning. Somehow Vienna goes to sleep early during the week. At 10pm there are the news on television and around 11pm the lights go off.

One light is still on. As you can see pictured above, even when Mr Paula is away, I am always in good company. I wonder, if a cat would disturb the quietness? Well, not if it sleeps. I used to be a cat-sitter for my sister's cats when she went on vacation. After she had given birth to her first child, I looked after her cats because she did not want them to become too jelous plus she wanted the baby to be safe. The cats accompanied me for 2 months. I was a single back then and remember when I asked her one day, if she plans on taking them back at all. My brother in law picked them up in the afternoon and the same evening I went out and met a big love of my life. (here you can read where it went from there) As if I had to make room, so something new could enter my life. I like to believe in things. Superstition and so.
