Today is Justine's birthday, so we're planning a day of coffeehaus's, food and opera in the evening. The weather has turned a little less conducive to outside activities, so I think we'll do the inside things like museums and the like.
The rain is a little chunky, and there is a little chance of snow at some point in the next day or two. Here's hoping

Yesterday we had lunch with Justine's parent's former landlords from when they lived here in the late 90s. Let's just say that the menu included pheasant and venison hunted from the forests around Wolfgang's golf club and the wine was from the vineyard of his tailor's wifes family, and I'm sure you can fill in the rest of the imagery. Don't forget the chandeliers and 17th century paintings.
Heading back from lunch into the centre of Vienna we intended to visit one of the many Christmas markets, but with the weather turning a little wetter we curtailed our browsing and took the underground back to the apartments, before heading out to a little restaurant in the surrounding streets for dinner. It turned out to be some sort of

Georgian crepe house we think, given the source of the wine and mineral water, and probably the waitress. We originally rejected one restaurant as Tim felt it wasn't pumping enough for him, and while where we finished up couldn't exactly have been described as pumping either - it was pretty good nonetheless.
