I want to be at the Vienna Opera Ball on NYE even if tickets are 4 figures, I have to take lessons in waltzing and buy Audrey Hepburn long gloves. ๐
Unfortunately, the grand affair is cancelled this year.
You’re thinking of Salzburg where the music festival is held in the spring, perhaps? Vienna is a winter wonderland especially during the holidays. The Christmas decorations are breathtaking.
Up here, we went to bed on Christmas Eve with snow covering everything, but a warm spell came through and when we woke up Christmas morning, the snow had completely vanished. It rained all day. Miserable, terrible, awful. ๐ฆ
Judy, yes thatโs exactly what we got. And today it is soooo cold. I could not believe we had all that beautiful snow right up until Christmas Eve. Then rain, yuck. A brown Christmas.
It went down to 40 degrees last night and I almost had a stroke. I do not like dormant vegetation and wearing substantial clothing! (ST, leave that one alone.) ๐
Just at present I wish I were there, too…
Happy New Year dear Simon!

I want to be at Doi Tung’s private open air dinner show with someone who thinks I am dreamy and rich.

I can understand Moscow in winter but Vienna seems like more of a springtime sort of place.

It is also nice to look at snow through a window in a cozy warm house while sipping hot cocoa ๐
