How a Bulgarian cleaning lady became a Russian spy.

Many people believed that Tsvetanka D., a Bulgarian national living in Vienna, was leading a very normal life.

Nothing could have been further from the truth: this former cleaning lady was in fact a Russian spy.

This weekend in #Vienna, my daughter and I walked through the Hofburg palace area, with its imposing buildings.

I told her "the emperors built all this", and she replied "you mean 'they had this built', right? It's not like they actually got their hands dirty."

I'm so proud 🥰

Hallo meine lieben Lebensformen,
in Wien gibt es in Florisdorf eine Kolonie Graureiher. Sie brüten auf einer Insel und können von Land wunderbar beobachtet werden ohne sie zu stören.
Am Wochenende war ich kurz in Wien um liebe Menschen zu treffen habe aber die Zeit am Sonntag vor der Heimfahrt genutzt die Reiher zu besuchen. Graueiher im Prachtkleid sind schon toll und die "Kleinen" sehen immer aus wie Punks. So süß.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

Hello my dear life forms,
In Vienna there is a colony of grey herons in Florisdorf. They breed on an island and can be observed wonderfully from land without disturbing them.
I was briefly in Vienna at the weekend to meet some lovely people but used the time on Sunday to visit the herons before travelling home. Grey herons in their finery are great and the ‘little ones’ always look like punks. So cute.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.

Today in Labor History March 31, 1913: The Vienna Concert Society rioted during a performance of modernist music. The audience was shocked and offended by the weird music by Schoenberg, Berg, Zemlinsky, and von Webern. Their violent rioting forced a premature end to the concert, which became known as the Skandalkonzert (scandal concert).
