Today is Emils birthday. I baked him a cake. Of course! Emil at work. The chairlift on Emils mountain has been renewed - old chairs brought down, new ones up. Novemberview from Emils "office" Happy Birthday Emil! T.

I.e. sunday tomorrow. Loooong weekend with austrian national day (26/10) all saints day and Julia home since wednesday. Good combination, those two holidays! Most of the week was quite nice, warm and rather dry - though the ground is soaking wet of lots of rain throughout the fall. This won't be of interest to a cityperson, but if you live in the countryside and if you, in particular, have a few animals, it's rather an item of interest. Yes :-) A horse easily loose a shoe in a muddy field, unless it's well ridden and worked and doesn't feel it has to race back and forth like crazy and at show the world the most artistic overground lessons. Called bucking, I guess...... Well, days are suddenly one hour shorter. Day in meaning of daylight. As we are an extraordinary "outdoorsy" family, we would prefer summertime about 10 months a year. In the deep winter, though, it's fine with earlier sunshine. Winter is not soooo far. Snow promised tomorrow, Would rather say " threatened with" this time of year. In the mountains it's OK, but I'd prefer autumn for one more month. Where was I - kind of lost track here - skyped with Uffe and talked to a Furby. Ja, our horses moved in to the old cowbarn. Now it's a neat winterresidence for Norka and Hombre, who occupy the " new" corner, our "paying long-term guests" (a Tinker and a mule) are still in their old stalls in the opposite corner. Should be fixed by next year. Fine thing! Have a look: And these are my new sundayshoes T.
