How was it actually in Sankt Veit? It was great!
I met amazing people! I had wonderful encounters!
I saw great places and the urinal in the "Schnapsis" is one of them. The Schnapsi itself is fantastic and the people who moved around Wolfgang and me are all very interesting beings in their own right.
I'm grateful for the two weeks I was able to spend down there on Wolfgang's property.
The time I also had with him, definitely!
And it's really funny with the pheasants on this property, somehow, .... well, everyone seems to have their corner and woe betide if one comes too close to the other's corner, then exactly what you just heard as screeching in the background happens.
And I have it live, just like you do now to some extent, only with the difference that I can see both roosters, ...that's pretty cool.
Shame that the oriole isn't showing much activity right now.
Exactly, and for the individual pictures there are of course stories as well, definitely.
Ah, I could tell so much again, about the drive over the Loibl Pass, about my little break where I ate some of that incredibly delicious cheese and sausage and bread from Doris, Martina, Wolfgang, Kurt and actually got to meet a young Slovenian family who were traveling in their motorhome.
And also the crossing over the pass up here between Slovenia and Croatia, which I actually shouldn't have driven on, with the vineyards that are so incredibly beautiful, with the estates on them, with the quiet villages that are largely half-decayed.
With roads where of course only one car fits!
With hairpin turns and curves, descents that certainly exceeded 14 percent. All of that is more than short stories.
That's why I think there's also a second voice message now.
And the funny thing is, while I'm sitting here and recording this, (note for the pheasant: yes, you too definitely,) I see Lu's rolling eyes. 🤓
Thank you very much for that! 🤣🙏
And I think the oriole is sitting on the branch over there right now. Hello, could you turn in my direction? Yes, a bit more, please. The light conditions and the reflecting leaves don't necessarily allow me to recognize him.
Can you say something? (I whistle) That was me just now of course, to animate him, but the funny rooster, here to my left, interrupted.
The other one has now moved a bit further across the property again.
Exactly. All wishes from the first voice message. Plus one.
Now come the pictures.
It's funny how this "system" "independently" changes my chosen image order and thus no longer uploads them in the sequence I intended... 🤣👍🥳👻🤓

This is the wonderful 85-year-old mother of my host, who visited me to say goodbye...😍🙏❤️

Schnapsi and I behind his bar...😁🙏😍
True, during a nighttime visit to a club in St.Veit, which Flo spontaneously joined on his way back to Berlin, there was also a little "scuffle" between me and a "small-town dealer" that ended with him horizontal and earned me a small cut on my punching hand. I really tried to avoid this confrontation...but the universe has humor and I've learned that sometimes it's "right" to express my desire for peace in this way...🤣
We left the club shortly after...it wasn't that great anyway 🤪
Hey my dears, a lot of great things have been happening to me since I started my journey...and I'm trying to do justice to those moments that occurred, even if only partially, in order to share them with you too (yes, I also read that twice 😂). Got a nice impulse...and I'd be happy if you use it and let me know what "landed" with you! @Piep: would be happy if your "exhibit" lands here too 🙏
My Helme, who felt drawn to Hallmie...
