shamrock, sheep & whiskey: 2013

Big “Hello“ to everyone!

It has been a whiiiiiiiiiiile, hasn’t it? Yeah guys, I know! I’m so bad in being up to date. Well, here I am, here you go...

There will be millions of great pictures for you, so that’s why I’ll try keeping my text short, alright? You will be busy looking at my photos anyway! Enjoy!

First of all I have to say, we had lovely weather all summer long which was fabulous. We got the chance to spend our days outside all day long! Beach, garden, park, playground, nature ...whatever. And the irish weather was perfect for me, warm and sunny but not too hot though! I’d have died back in Vienna cause of your, I’d say, quite extremely ridiculous heat wave, wasn’t it?

My dearest sister Bettina came over for a couple of weeks to stay with me in my little cottage. How you can image, the two of us had a fantastic time together and beside showing her around in Dublin, spending my days, evenings and nights with her, having great fun, she was also a big help and support for me while I was working with my girls. It was very nice being able to pay more attention to only one child, play, cuddle and mess around without someone else distracting or even disturbing us. It was quite advantageous to all of us!

Toether with Bettina I went to Galway for some days cause there was this brilliant Art-Festival (exhibitions, dance performances, streetart, musicians, circus, theatre...) on, which made it even nicer to stay. Although it was my second visit, I discovered new great stuff and was happy to be there. One day we took a bus to Connemara and the Kylemore Abbey, pictures below.

When I came back to Dublin after my wonderful, exciting and intense holiday in Vienna/Austria it was quite a shock. Seriously, the whole situation, my holiday memories and my whole life suddenly felt so weird to me . I think, at this point I eventually started to realise where I am, where I live, what I created by my myself or with support from amazing and kind people, what I’ve got now ...here in Dublin, I mean. All those questions made me freak out a bit cause I noticed I really did settle down now. I’ve got my own individual and personal house. My precious friends. My wonderful irish family including the two kids, Maurice and Jessica who I really started to love. I feel very close to them and I’m so grateful for our relationship and how well they treat me. I’m so so so fucking lucky and I don’t really know, how I can be able to appreciate what I’ve got. It seems to be so unreal cause of it’s beauty. Is so much happiness even alowed to anybody?

Also thanks to everybody in Vienna (or where ever you are right now), who loves me and shows me how strong friendship/relationship can be though distance. That’s something incredible, don’t you think?!

I started attending contemporary dance classes which I love! I’ve got a second job, too. Once a month I lead a German Workshop for kids, it feels good to be “back“ as teacher, I noticed how much I actually like it, how much children like me and our work. Great feedback!

So all in all very very VERY pleasant! Now I just need to find myself, still...anyway, I’m on my way, probably for ever, trying to be happy or even being happy and feeling happiness.

Love and Hugs!
