399.999,9 km

Our Lite Ace made the 399.999,9 km today! Thats for showing, it actually has more kilometers on, as the speedometer  was broken for some time and did not count up.

I have to admit that I love this car. It is more than practical, sleeping in the car is no problem. With 9-10 l / 100 km it does not use too much gas, compared with the other (newer) vans around. And most importantly it fits in most parking lots that look way too small, as it is quite compact and has a very small steering angle.

It has made our France Holiday with us, went to most parts of Austria, and keeps my dogs save and locked up during training.

I love this car!

Too much to do…

At the moment I have a lot of work and learning to do.  Nevertheless I try to make lots of walks. Sunday we first had a walk on Schafberg, a little hill in the Viennese woods, where Linux enjoyed playing with the autumn leaves and then we took a night walk (it was already dark, not really night) to Wienerberg, another hill in the middle of the 10th district, to make some photos of iluminated buildings around. Lets say K took photos and I went playing with Linux…

The rest of the day was work, work and learn…

More photos here:

Linux hunting leaves

Runzlkreuz and nice fall weather…

Sunday was a sunny and warm fall day. K., K’s Family, the over exited dogs and I went to “hike” over an alp.

Hiking and Playday

Today was bright sunshine in Gaming. It is autumn now. The leaves are turning their color to red and brown.

Gaming

There has been a lot going on in my life since August. I have a new job which took most of my time over the last 2 months. Except for walking the dogs and sleeping there was not much time left.

Finally I have a weekend to myself and can post some pictures from the last walks. Some weeks ago I have been to Gaming visiting my friend. Here are the 2 most beautiful photos (thanks to Eva who made them).

Picnic with the little one

A friend of mine has a cute little baby (a bit over 1 year now) and I haven’t seen her for some time. After I finally managed to call her we decided to do a picnic. The “litte one” has quite developed since I have seen him the last time and really cute. Trying to tell a lot of stuff in half baby,  half words language and running like a race car.

The old sloughter-house

In Simmering, the 11th district of Vienna, there is an area with old sloughter houses. The area is called St. Marx and the famous Gasometer are nearby. Most of the old buildings there are already torn down or renovated when we visited today. Some of the buildings are more new, I guess from the 1980s and they just started demolishing. So K. and I went in and did some photos. We had some fun playing with the light and the structures that were still left.

Laaerberg

On our usual afternoon walk over the Laaerberg and the surrounding fields we met Yuma and her owner and the other dogs belonging to her pack. Linux normally not so extremly interested in other dogs fell deep “in love” with Yuma. Thankfully her owner Brigitte did some really nice Photos and allowed me to post them –  have a look (clicking on the photo will open a link to the photoset).

The old dog and his owner

Just some blocks to our left lives an older man and his husky (one with 2 different colored eyes). The man wears round glasses with a thick red frame, looking a bit like a tired owl. Also the husky is old and a bit round and walks very slowly behind its owner. We know each other from seeing us from time to time when walking our dogs. Once Balu, as the dog is called, smelled Linux or maybe just saw him on the other side of the stried, he started crossing the road to tell this young greenhorn a lesson 🙂

A visit from the girls

I was visited by the the girls recently. Actually I promised to take H’s dogs for a night. A Dober(wo)man and a pinscher. Both cute and nice and no problem. Ratte had a special surprise for their owner ;-).
