Sunday Almost Done.

 A nice slow day in a small village.


Only in Eisenberg can one go for a walk and pass three donkeys on a leash. They didn't even raise an eyebrow but merely sauntered next to their owners. Walking dogs...so yesterday!

On Friday I found out, of course while standing in line at our local shop, that the first few over 80's of our village are being vaccinated. Brilliant and rather unexpected seeing that there is this whole debacle over not ordering enough of the stuff. Personally, I wouldn't mind either the Russian Sputnik or the Chinese version. What could go wrong after all that is so much worse than coming down with a bad case of corona?

So, our village is gearing up to hopefully normal times ahead. Imagine knowing that everyone that can is immunized and doesn't have to hide away anymore? Honestly, after a year of what is really a fundamental change of our behaviour, this change has become norm and it might take a while to revert to life as it was before.

The alpine ski world cup has run its course with a last race today. Two weeks of exciting skiing and quite a lot of medals for our Austrian team. Today's race was a bit out of kilter as they adjusted the rules to circumvent the warm temperatures. The end to this race and world cup wasn't fun to watch but, I suppose the advent of climate change isn't going to stop for an alpine event. Yip, skiing might not be a sport for the future.

Again, this Sunday has done its job and eased us gently into the start of another week...reading, eating and just being.
