April 2009

Construction time again - this time it´s the garden. First we cutted down all trees inbetween our garden an the one next to us and discovered that we have quite a nice view. These trees were ment to be a hedgerow but the have grown to almost full size with a height of up to 12 meters. Now everthing is down to 1.2 meters and we try to keep them smaller in the future. Second thing was to change the terrain and prepare it for the grass seed. The seed was sown out at the end of April and the funny thing was that this was the warmest and driest April in Austria ever. That means that we had to sprinkle the whole garden at least 3 times a day with 4 sprinklers in parallel! I can´t wait to see the bill.

Beside the garden work I spent most of my spare time on either my roadbike or my mountainbike. Because of my training I was able to loose a lot of weight ( almost 10 kg up to now ) and I became very fit. Maybe it´s just because of a mild midlife crises but I decided to climb up the Grossglockner with my roadbike in June. Therefore to use my spare time for riding is my top priority now. I´m not sure what the picture of the month in May will show but I guess I know it regarding my June image. If everthing works out fine it will be taken on the Grossglockner.

I have to stop now for an exercise session.
