Hi Regen!
At first, it was complicated because I began following the route in the inverse direction, and it did not count. But then, it was good and fun. Now I saw there are several routes around my home, so perhaps when I have the time I will walk some more, following the routes. Perhaps tomorrow, that it is supposed to be warm. I have to wotk all the morning and  part of the afternoon, but I may be able to get home relatively early.
Rain is very much needed here too, but luckily we had some in the past days.

Ohh, the travel to Austria sounds awesome! I have a cousin who is going to Czechia for work for 3 months (starting Aug 1). I do not remember the city but he told me is closer to Vienna than to Prague. At the end of his time, he wil visit Vienna. I envy him a lot. Also, as a child I was such a fan of Empress Sissi that I always got excited when I hear "Vienna"  :). But all what I have seen in movies and internet about Austria is beautiful. I hope you and your family enjoy the lake and the mountains  :)

Yes, I have not seen the last episode yet but I like Strange New Worlds a lot (season 1 better than season 2 so far).

Cool. He'll probably be in or near Brno. My grandmother grew up in a small village in that area.

I admit I've never been in Vienna. Just once for half an hour at the train station on my way to Linz, which doesn't really count in my opinion. Not that I saw anything. But I want to see it some day. My husband doesn't like cities, he prefers nature. When we go there, I'll send pictures. Promise.  :)
I am still trying to convince him of a day trip. I'll take crutches with me, so I can walk.

Strange New Worlds is awesome. I like their joice of actors. At first I was in doubt about Spock, but I soon changed my mind. And Christine Chapel! Once I noticed who this is, I said to my husband, hey she's always been in love with Spock. He couldn't even remember her. In the old series she always had cool hair. Woven somehow. I tried to do my hair like that, but I didn't succeed, lol. One probably needs a second person to help. And very likely longer hair than I ever had. I always felt pity with her, because Spock didn't love her back.

Dina:
Yes, I think that is city, the pronounciation was weird. In Spanish you don't really have a way to pronounce Brno, so I believe he said something like "Brun". He told me it is a place with many students. He is an Engineer and is going to be in an Institute which does language processing or something like that.

I do remember Christine Chapel from the original TOS. It was the main character played by Majel Barret, Roddenberry's wife. She also played the original Number One, who only appeared in one episode I believe. And an Orion. Of course, she later played Lwaxanna Troi and is generally the computer voice.
I have quite curly hair, so I could never dream with styling my hair like Chapel (Lwaxanna perhaps, now that I am older...)

Regenbogen:
Really? She played Lwaxana? I never noticed. Well, probably because I always only wanted to see her hair and never looked at her face, LOL.

We say Brünn in German.


I forgot to tell you something funny:
Our neighbour is sometimes a bit clumsy and he managed to saw into his main water pipe. So he has no water in the house at the moment. The funny thing is, that nobody knows why he did work near the pipe in the first place, because his wife said, they have an appointment with a plumber anyway next week. LOL.
They are renovating inside and essentially all the workers need at the moment, is water. So for now they are using our outside water with their water hose. The wife was pissed but in an eyerolling way, like she knew what she had to expect when she married him, loves him anyway, but this situation now sucks, LOL.

Also there will be a new house next year, because one of their daughters will build one in their garden, so we will get nice new neighbours, but will have to endure construction again. She'll move in with her husband and child

Dina:
She is! I actually learnt that Lwaxanna was Majel Barret, the computer voice and Roddenberry's wife, before learning that she was Chapel. Besides, Chapel is blonde and Lwaxanna is a brunette, so I never realized they were the same person until I've read it. I am quite a trekkie, so now I am very used to the idea, but I remember I was flabbergasted when I learnt it.

That is funny about your neighbors! And I am glad you will have nice neighbors in the future.

I confirmed that my cousin is going to Brno! He is on the plane right now. He will spend a night in Madrid and then keep flying to Vienna. Then he will take a bus to Brno.

In other news, on Friday a colleague of my hubby, who has an avocado plant at home, gifted him (well, us) with 3 very, very big avocados. We spent the weekend enjoying avocado toasts, and we also had nachos with guacamole...I have a small container with an avocado "purée". And I still have a full avocado (but I think it is getting wasted).
