Summer Slowly Subsiding

Not much to report over here besides the fact that we're slowly melting.

Yes, I know it's hot other places, esp. back in Texas, but AC really helps and Austria ain't got none. Summer's not really my favorite.  It's too slow and everyone's either vacationing or back in their home country.  I like the action and routine that comes with fall.  Although the constant sunshine of the past several weeks has been nice, I'm ready to take on some crisp fall days and a light sweater or two.

I've been filling my days with design work, reading, walks with Art and Elsie (at night in the cool) and the mandatory once or thrice weekly get-togethers with friends.

Working from home has its obvious benefits, but it can be really isolating and all-consuming if you're not careful.  There's no clear distinction between work and rest/play, so you have to be diligent in making your own routine and schedule and stickin' to it. 

I do like the fact that I can meet the girls for a nice rooftop coffee in the afternoon:

Hadn't been to the new K&Ö rooftop café and I was quite loving it.

Cooled off with some pool volleyball at Shyla's:

Shyla's not messing around with pool time:

And, that's a wrap, folks.

Next weekend's a nice getaway to the wine region.  It best cool down!
