Graz–Jun. 6, 2025

A quick note about today’s pictures: I took them all with my phone rather than using my “real” digital camera.

I went to the vaccination center to get my second FSME shot (early summer meningoencephalitis, spread by tick bites) and also an update on a combined diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and polio vaccine.

Afterward, I went to get pictures at a local TEDi 🇦🇹 shop. It has all sorts of housewares, and a lot of kitsch and schlock. However, if you need a cheap set of measuring spoons or some kitchen equipment, it’s a great place to get a bargain.

I decided to walk over to CityPark to pick up some BBQ chicken for lunch. On the way over there, I saw some art displays:

Bronze fox in butler outfit, holding tray with business card for artist Tom Lohner.

Man in leather jacket and jeans, facing away from camera. Auf, zum steirischen herbst!

Off to the Styrian autumn!

Poster with blond-haired man in green cap and lederhosen; text is Steiermark

This one has all sorts of stereotypical vibes.

And some other semi-random photos:

Monument to Erzherzog Otto; it is a large obelisk with a sphere on top.

The Mur river

CityPark provides charging stations for e-bikes

And a box with repair equipment.

I had only two short-sleeved shirts that I brought with me, and only one had a pocket. I bought the first two shirts at H&M and Fussl 🇦🇹, and the third one at Kik 🇦🇹 (a cheap place near where I live):

Multicolored plaid shirt and plain beige shirt

Blue and red plaid shirt; primarily blue.

And here’s the lunch:

Cucumber, squash, tomato, onion, mushrooms, and vegan salami.
