SILVESTER ABEND/ NEW YEARS EVE // Lifestyle 2020

  TIME TO SAY BYE 2020

well its the last day of 2020. something to celebrate!

Its been a tough year for all of us, we have all been on

this rollercoaster, of lockdowns and all the other

things that happened in 2020.

but i can only hope we all are safe and healthy

and we can look forward to a FABULOUS 2021

(good riddance 2020!!!)

Though Christmass was not at all the same  


CHRISTMAS SCENES

The RATHAUS lite up , the tree, and the skating park.

this year there were no Xmas markets to visit. So of course it felt completely different.










 




THE CITY STREETS

    one of my favourite streets to stroll along

in the city. The beautiful chandeliers, it is so magical!






Today is Silvester Abend 

as it is called in German.

The night we all celebrate around the world, NEW YEARS EVE!

The fireworks, music, dancing  and glasses of bubbly to celebrate the

new year. Though this year there are restrictions

here in Austria there are some cute traditions of

a small gift  called Glucksbringer or a lucky charm

in the shape of a little pig. So hopefully 2021 will

be lucky!


🎇🎆

Then there are the usual fireworks in the centre ,but also all over

the city  people are lighting their fireworks, it is an amazing sight!


Later in the night is the one skit that is shown every

Silvester,  a british comedy called Dinner for one:

Simply funny and the traditional end to the year.


We will be celebrating the Silvester at home with a glass of bubbly

a few goodies , snacks  and enjoying the evening.

(during the 3rd lockdown)

Hope you have an enjoyable night wherever you are, with your family, loved ones!


Happy NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
