"Wet socks"

Australia 4:28pm

Austria 10:28am

So I finally made it into the wilderness. In the process however I got very wet socks.

It is beautiful.

I don't know what the day holds for me today. The cold morning, sitting in the rain is worth anything to come.

Now that I've sat still for a while all the forest creatures have come out to say their "Hello's".

As I sit motionless birds come forward to sing me their song. As I sit motionless the rabbits come out to show me their dance. As I sit motionless the flowers begin to bloom.

I could have stayed there forever if the rain hadn't bothered me, if the wet socks hadn't bothered me, if the failing sunlight hadn't bothered me.

My backyard

The trail, I did not follow

I walk aimlessly

Wet socks

My blog

A place of fairytales and my inspiration.

Now for the day to arrive.

"A few things to love"

• How a lot of people have moustaches
• Everyone wears socks and sandals
• The evergreen rolling hills
• The blue, blue sky
• My Oma's cooking
• The forever blooming flowers
• The cobblestone streets
• The delicious juices to drink
• The forest just metres from my house, one to get lost in forever
• The quaint little cottage next door
• The smiling people
• The church bell tower
• The never matching table wear
• The winding roads lined by tree after tree.
• How my hallway echos the music I play
• My balcony that looks down into the town and out onto the danube
• The Harry Potter themed street lamps
• The colourful phone booths
• How everyone says "Hello"
• How all the houses are so colourful
• How it's impossible to be sad
• How energy efficient everything is
• How Austria recycles everything
• That the light switches are all so big
• How everyone drives fast
• How some words in their language makes me giggle
• That I have no sense of time here, everything just burs into 1
• That the pubs open at 9am
• How everything opens so early, the bank for example is open at 8am
• How people stare when I speak English to my friends
• That this time round I have not seen so many emos
• How my Oma and Opa have my home in Australia on speed dial
• How my mind wanders so much more here, my imagination flows so wild
• My own sauna downstairs
• That people put their televisions on to fall asleep to
• I love that everywhere I look there is beauty, everything I see I find beauty within.
