Wish List

I love love love ordering books of Amazon, but at the moment I'm alll out of money.. so I've been hunting around looking for books I'm gonna order the moment my loan comes in! : ) Here are a few I'm after... let me know if you have them and your opinions on them!

The Flavour Thesausus - Niki Segnit

Food From Many Greek Kitchens - Tessa Kiros

Super Natural Every Day - Heidi Swanson

Meet Me At Mike's - Pip Lincolne

Drawing Nature Journal - Jill Bliss

(This book is not released yet - I want it on pre-order!)

Perhaps I'll put in a sneaky little order later. I'm finally going to 'der blaue Reiter' exhibition tonight at the Albertina - will put up photos tomorrow!

Plans

Well I think I've already failed at writing every day this week... must try harder. Seem so busy at the moment and wish there were more hours in each day for me to get everything done. Also, time seems to be going too fast which is never nice.

Vienna is covered in huge posters advertising different exhibitions and I have been meaning to go to a few for so long - this week I shall succeed! I missed the Frieda Kahlo exhibition :( so definitely have to go to at least a couple to make up for it; it seems silly not to while I'm here.

Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt - Belvedere

'Der Blaue Reiter' Exhibition - Albertina

Kandinsky

So, these are the 2 exhibitions I am planning on visiting this week. I will endeavor to succeed and then I shall write again with how I found them and some better photographs.

Some Easter things have started to appear around Vienna this week too! There is a massive Easter Market at Schönbrunn (a big palace with lots of gardens and grounds) and I've been told it's worth a visit so hopefully will manage to visit that too this week.

Well I should go.. too many things to do.. and I'm prioritising sleep.

Catching up...

Sorry I have been so rubbish at this again.. had a lot of work and then lots of going out and then lots of sleeping to do. BUT, I have planned to post every day this week so hopefully I will keep it up...

Vienna is having a mini spring heat wave.. its been so hot this last week.. 31 last Thursday. So all my time has been spent picnicking and wandering. I live right on the biggest park in Vienna, it's so perfect for summer.

I cannot wait for the summer after such a long long winter here.

Muesli bar!

I had a lovely, lovely start to my day yesterday by heading to this little muesli bar I'd found. It was so cute! (Except for the dodgy name... 'corn 'n' pops') For 7.50 you got a muesli feast... a coffee, orange juice, a MASSIVE muesli bowl of your choice and a bagel with cream cheese and jam. It filled me up til dinner time and I intend to take everyone I know there.

I spent the rest of my day (after a seminar) wandering around the city. It is really Spring here now, it's been over 20 degrees every day this last week.. amazing! Nobody likes a grey city and Vienna is looking even lovelier in the sunshine.

Kunsthistorisches Museum

The KHM's twin, Naturhistorisches Museum

Hope Spring has arrived for all of you too.
