Sunday.

 

    

It was my flatmate Nina's birthday in the weekend, and everyone was looking lovely in the sunlight. We ate and drank to beyond contentment and reveled in the beautiful weather. Thanks, Vienna, for looking lovely for us too.

Clair de lune

Our friend Werner took this picture of us while we were playing through some tunes for some last minute rehearsal before our friend Verena's wedding. The out of tune tinkerings of the rustic, clanky piano were so charming in fitting with this beautiful and most stylish wedding day.

Here is some outstanding footage of Mo and I accompanying Werner with his wonderful song, 'Salz'. My favourite part is at the end when some tech guys try to subtly come in to sort some stuff out, realise it's inappropriate then decide to back out quietly.

Vienna from the rooftops

This lovely Spring afternoon was one of my favourite days in Vienna ever. It was early May, and still a little chilly, but the sun had finally emerged, splashing some colour onto buildings and on us pale dwellers of Viennese terrain. Winter in Vienna is really something else - under that seemingly permanent ceiling of grey, I think people just die a little bit for about 4 months, then one day the sun comes out, and people - even the Viennese - come back to life and go out to play.

We gathered at the rooftop of the apartment at Traungasse - otherwise known as the Traun, home to many a night of hooliganism and lovely times with good friends - for the first BBQ of the year.

A little later on, some of us headed around the corner to the Wiener Konzerthaus to hear the soprano Measha Brueggergosman's recital. Beautiful. A perfect ending to a perfect afternoon with great people. (Slash wait, we totally went back to the apartment for a few more hours of wine drinking afterwards...)

Thanks once again, girls of Traun.
