Wien

MUMOK

Well I survived the trip to Vienna with the bro and parentals, just about. City breaks are almost never about relaxation, but I’m so completely wrecked after it, it’s unbelievable. We went on Friday, returned on Sunday, and walked our asses off in between. Highlights included the MUMOK (right), which is the modern art museum, and the Kunsthistoriches Museum, which is one of Europe’s major art museums. They had a special exhibit on while we visited, of tapestries by Goya, which was amazing, worth the admittance alone. Also Café Central, with 16 different types of coffee and a band playing non-stop waltzes, made us all feel very classy indeed.

Heading home this eve for the long weekend, and the long sleep. Tomorrow is the big day for the little man, it’s Baby Cathal’s christening. Got another visit from himself and his Ma on Monday afternoon, man he’s getting big. Like, really big for 3 months. He’s supposed to be having a couple of mush dinners and however many bottles he needs per day, but she can’t get enough of the mush into him, he loves it, knocks back five or six daily. I think he also eats bits of pummelled veg too, and I dunno what else, turducken maybe. The kid eats more than I do. Anyway, I got him a little winter coat, like pretty much every bit of baby apparel, it’s the cutest thing ever, and I will probably take a million more photographs of him. Bless.
