Prologue: Right now, I'm sitting in my flat in downtown, Vienna/Austria in the hottest summer for the last 100 years. Downtown means that I'm literally living about a five minute walk away from all the beauty (aka "sightseer's must visit") in Vienna. Downtown also means that, heck, I don't have my own garden and I therefore can only decide between hanging around in my flat (plus office) OR can share the summer with hundreds of other Viennese people and tourists in one of the nearby parks.
Prologue 2: In yesterday's TV news report, they announced the recent findings of a study conducted in Austria. The majority of people dream of moving out of the city, owning a house plus garden in one of the small rural communities with less than 2000 inhabitants. No more pollution, no more noise.
So .... yeah .... well ... I'm signing my contract tomorrow at 10:00 am. Katja and I found a nice 1,500 sq ft house (4 bed, 3 bath) with 15,000 sq ft garden in just such a community. I can finally write my articles sitting in my own garden - and it's still just a 30 minutes drive back to Vienna.
We're moving September, 1st. Yeah!
