Went for a walk around Hofburg and KHM/NHM.

I was thinking, perhaps Hungarians should demand the removal of some of those statues to de-colonise Austrian history. :P

Slowly cycling through a herd of cattle on a back-road never gets old; for some reason I find cows amusing.  :bowler:

Out and about: my wife and I go for walks along the local street every night, usually pretty late, and we have noticed that there is this second-floor orthodontist's office that is quite often lit up and with some people moving around in it at night, way past the time everything else is long closed down.

We call this place "the Midnight Orthodontist". They aren't always open late, but often they are.

What procedures could they be doing that late, and why?  :ph34r:

they kind doctors do with their secretaries late at night :P

Wrong profession: it is dentists that fill cavities, not orthodontists.  :P

They could have longer work hours some days of the week and finish sooner or be closed on Fridays.

The staff could be staying a little later after their last appointment to fill paper work.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I used to go out with a dental hygienist. :hmm:

Yep. Sounds right.

Probably (or having the cleaning staff in), but that is boring.  :P I was thinking more along the lines of teeth straightening for vampires. Or Lovecraftian horrors.

Damn Dartmoor was wet this morning, I did consider sprinting up a couple of the high tors, but I knew I'd get soaked and didn't fancy travelling back on public transport for 140 miles in wet boots and clothes.

Can't blame ya there. Getting soaked makes for a miserable walk about.
