hayfever

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

It is a bit odd that exactly when others enjoy spring and summer most I start to suffer dealing with my hayfever.
For sure there are more worse things than that. But right now with changing conditions like actually it really starts to hassle me.

All today was  a great mix of sun and clouds with a wind going on all day and I guess that last is the really guilty part in that game.
So I ended up doubling my tablets  still running around with burning eyes
and a running nose.

Thanks god not all days are like today …. :-/

 

Splendid Conditions

Monday, April 28th, 2008

This past weekend was just great - sun, mild temperatures and no single drop of rain at all!

Right on friday I tried to finish all really necessary task getting the freedom to be able to use all the time of the coming two days. Especially this year with a dragging rainy and cold April the wish to stay outside and enjoy nice conditions is strong.

So on saturday morning right after breakfast I went for my biker gear (you know? that “real bike” stuff), dressed up and move my Suzi out of the garage. Heading into the nowhere without having any idea where the street will lead me I ended up in scratching the border between France and Germany a few time, having a real enjoyable coffee and cake in some “outside” restaurant to finally return during late late afternoon more or less tired but overall happy with myself, the day itself and the world in general! :-)

Nevertheless there were the need for some grocery shopping left and so I finally did take the car driving to some supermarket and ending up in an bigger electronic store (huh … thats late evening shopping until 10pm ;-) ) looking again for such an MacBook Air …. duh :-| I guess sooner or later I will end up with such a thingy …

Then again on sunday I was keen to repeat my other day adventure again. So I directly heading to my Suzi again which I even hadn’t brought back into the garage for the night and left home straight away.

This time my way and the street did lead me into the so called “Old World”! It is a lovely and quiet piece on earth. Mostly covered with beautiful farmland and broken up with smaller and bigger patches of forest, a little bit back in time compared with the more urbanised and industrial area here where I live.

It was such a wonderful day that I even nearly got lost about cruising all these small and narrow little countryside roads forward and backwards for ages and had to use my map to be able to find my direction out of this area finally heading home in the evening! Such day should never end!

Back from the 1st ride

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Today I couldn’t resist anymore. Even my day today was already pre-filled with all kind of different tasks, with the sun coming out this morning all good intends were flushed away.

Spending the usual time in the bathroom, having breakfast and checking the conditions again were all I did this morning before I directly went for the motorbike gear. I was anyway alone this morning end therefore the discussion with myself about neglecting earlier planned tasks was rather short.

It was nearly like Suzi had awaited me alreadly. After I had turned the key and pressed the start button, the engine started right away on the first try.

Sure it wasn’t really warm at all and the few lonely sun beams of this early spring sun here this morning couldn’t really warm me nor the day in general. Our April here so far is very cold and rainy at all.

But anyway! Who cares? I decided not even to take rain gear with me … and it worked out!
A great run over shortly 2 hours and a bit about 180km without one rain drop in between, a start into a new biker season can hardly be better. :-)

When someone has to learn ….

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Yesterday we had the most beautiful spring day you can image. Sunny all the day with lovely 22°C as the days maximum and really no cloud on the sky.
From principle something you just can enjoy and appreciate?! ….  Sure and I did, strolling into town and going for ice and stuf! Did I already mention that I’m ice addicted? :-|

The problem was just that I wasn’t free in my head by thinking about how some technical problem I had to solve and another, for my feelings overall messed up situation in which I deal with an account manager who is just closing his eyes not willing to see reality!

I told him once, I explained him a second time …. I even tried it a third time, but he hardly refuses to do his job! Now he will learn, I swear ……….
