New Aaron Pix.

Despite my being sick (might be pneumonia or something, dunno, I had a cold like 3 weeks ago and although I don't cough anymore my temperature never went back to normal) I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in canine companionship today. Yesterday I'd been to my parents' place in Upper Austria where we celebrated their wedding anniversary and my bro's birthday. The only thing is that I feel so bloody tired and drained all the time. Hell, I need to go see a doctor soon...

Perfect weather, perfect day.

Today my parents came to Vienna to visit me and as the weather was simply perfect and as I wanted them to see Aaron, we went to the dog shelter in the afternoon together. There we had a small trial for Aaron as we didn't know whether he was used to ride in cars but as we opened the boot he jumped in without making a lot of fuss about it. That was great!
My parents also really liked Aaron and even brought him some goodies - some chewing sticks and stuff like that and after having spent a totally nice afternoon taking a walk through the forests on the outskirst of Vienna they told me that they'd want to come for a walk with Aaron again soon... :-)

First days at uni!

Last week the summer term has finally commenced at the University of Vienna and I've had my first lectures and seminars. Of course I've been a little bit anxious before each of them since I didn't know any of the lectures and also didn't have too much of an idea what to expect but it all went okay and I think that I'm off quite well as I find most of the lecturers rather nice.
Nevertheless it was a bit exhausting and so I'm glad that it's weekend now and I'm going to use my time wisely: for relaxing and for walks with Aaron... ;-)

Sunday, sluggish Sunday... :-)

Today - weather not especially nice and still a cold to cure - I went to the sauna again. This time I tried a different one, the Theresienbad in the 12th district of Vienna. Sauna culture here seems to be a tad different as people enter the sauna chamber only a few minutes before Aufguss, not 10 to 15 minutes as usual but then the Aufguss itself is more intense than in any sauna I've ever been to before.
The difference is that this sauna chamber I'm talking about has got four rows of benches instead of the usual three, therefore you can sit higher up and since, as we all know, hot air rises upward and can be found around the upper seating rows, the air in the 4th row is especially hot. Only for experienced sauna fans... ;-)
Anyway, in terms of overall rating I like this sauna better.
Yesterday I visited Aaron, my foster dog, again - we went for an extended walk and we practised "lie down" at which he's getting better and better! I feel so good to be caring for him!
