Sorting stuff for the return trip to the UK tomorrow and deciding what to leave for our return in June. We shipped two crates (makes them sound much bigger than they actually are, they were more like big shoe boxes!) of books back to the England on Saturday for a whopping (? was it? I can't tell!) 40 Euro.
Then we have to clean the flat. The dust never sleeps!
Therefore, no proper post today, I shall endeavour however, to update (along with the promised snow photos) soon after we get home.

To market to market
On Friday we went to an Easter Market on Freyung (one of the large squares). There were, amongst other things, lots and lots and lots and lots of eggs: painted eggs, dipped eggs, marbled eggs, sprayed eggs, patterned eggs, plain eggs, dark eggs, pale eggs.
Here's some of the "other things" there were too.
I turned a corner between the Easter cake and the Easter biscuit stall, and happened upon this bloke. I think he must be a bit lost...

Too hot to trot
I think there is something of the "sod's law" about this, but since I bought my coat, and wore it to the cinema, it has been far too warm to wear it again!
I know there has been a warm snap for lots of parts of Europe, but we have been really shocked by the temperatures. Last weekend, according to the little weather station outside the Sievering Apotheke at the end of the street, it was 17 degrees celcius! On Sunday we left the house decked out for what looked like a warm February day and had to turn back part way to the station as we were sweltering (actually, the main reason we returned to the flat was to get my camera which I had forgotten, but that doesn't sound quite so dramatic!).
The problem is, that we came equipped for winter, with warm clothes, long johns and hand-crocheted hats (thank you Rosie, we have worn them too, though, as yet, there is no photographic proof... maybe next week in Chicago) etc, so this early spring snap has found us entirely unprepared. At least us heading out without coats in February gave the naturally inquisitiveness Viennese something to stare at.
