distract me.

 I´ll have to write a test tomorrow, so all i should be doing these days

is sit in front of my pc and learn about the Austrian fauna.

Reality is that I am doing a lot other stuff and manage to learn in the gaps

between... if you wonder if that system is working:

No, it´s not, so I´m again in a hurry like everytime before important exams.

Nevertheless I took some time to visit some fleamarkets 

and  (surprise surprise!) was successfully finding some new old stuff...

you see, collectors-disease stroke again....

 love the dotted one, it fits to the bowl i bought last week

makro lens for my DSLR, not a professional one, but cheap : )

this camera, which contained a film suitable for my agfamatic

 agfamatic now loaded and ready to shoot! yay!

another agfa that needs common 35mm film

 a colorful replacement for my broken land

(for only 1€ : )

 first pic with the "new" land, bit blurry but its working!

some great shoes i totally fell in love with.

since they are not my size (damn!) i gave them to my sister.

They are Waldviertler, handmade in Austria and still affordable.

Me, my mom and my sister love to wear them.

I´m back to studying now, wish me luck for tomorrow!

finally...

Look what came with the mail today:

It´s exactly the one i wanted and only one year old!

It came without lens so i had to hurry to get one today, 

because i did not want to wait any longer to try it out!

Still have to learn about all the functions etc.

but here´s  one first shot i took:

Obviously i´ll need a macro-lens soon...

eiskraut.

these green leafy vegs are called ice plant (eiskraut in german).

they really look like this without being frozen, so the 

small drip-like cells are part of the plant.... and they were delicious!

Mellow and crunchy with a subtle sour taste, i ate them as salad

with few dressing. you could cook them like spinach but i guess

then they loose this light sourness.

will definitley buy them again!

 

they are from a community supported agriculture farm near vienna, called "Ochsenherz"

where they practise bio-organic agriculture.

dotty.

todays finds from a local churchs fleamarket:

the camera was only 50 cents! 

i´m going to order some suitable films for it today, so i can try it out soon.

..

There were also some kamasutra-coasters (sorry i forgot to take a photo)

and this funny giant moccasin:

sorry for the bad quality picture, it´s taken with my phone.

when i uploaded it i also found another pic i´ve taken some time ago

and completely forgot about it. 

so if you ever wondered what aspiring biologists write on toilet walls, 

here´s the answer: 

(cyprinus carpio = common carp)

chopped trees.

broccs for dinner today.

they get such a beautiful green colour in the hot water.

i love everything green.

..

todays test about butterflies, spiders and grubs went perfect.

 feeling good when learning pays off.

some goodies i found on fleamarkets recently:

(of course the salad is not thrifted^^ it was yummie)

white beauty with missing handle and red time-worn plate with two handles

perfect vintage Tigerlilly-frames

wind up watch

mint green enamel cup

i´m a sucker for pastel enamel dishes

and a really cute baby snail that was living in the coco grass for the cats.

i put it in the yard

 Yesterday this small parcel arrived from Hong Kong and i was really excited to get it from the post office today and unwrap these:

Some new music-cushions for my ears! i wasn´t expecting them to be delivered that quickly so i was really happy when i held the parcel in my hands,  i love getting good mail. The sound is also  well, as far as i can tell.   (another bonus: they were really cheap^^)

Today another new leaf of my little bananatree has finally unrolled itself completely - and its quite huge and much lighter than the other leaves! Beautiful!!

This came out, when i wanted to take some photos with my Polaroid Land today. I´m not amused about that... since i´m quite sure that it´s a problem with the camera and not the film. Will bring it to the impossible shop on saturday...
To cheer me up from this frustrating results i took some pics with my digicam:

Today i stay at home with my kitties, since the weather is more cloudy and i´m a bit miffed, so i will drink a lot of tea, go for a walk and get prepared for the physics-lessons i´ll have to attend the whole next week ..
