Happy Friday! ☀️
it was nice to be back in Salzburg to attend a wedding, I realized it had been a while since the last wedding. I spent the week in Vienna with a short trip to Hamburg for a client and got back to Vienna for the weekend.
What I’m reading 📖
In 2017 I devoured a Guardian article that outlines what happens when the queen passes. Dubbed Operation London Bridge is Down, it describes the plan–almost minute-by-minute–on the steps that get activated to ensure royal succession in the British realm. What was a plan in theory became reality yesterday and it still is quite hard to imagine that The Queen is no more. Here is the article.
What I’m listening to 🎧
It’s always a treat to find a new song by an artist you’ve been following for a few years appearing in your Release Radar playlist on Spotify. My favorite of this week’s playlist is this new song from Sylvan Esso, ‘How Did You Know’
What I’m watching 📺
After finishing my latest run of ‘Game of Thrones’ a few weeks ago, the start of the prequel ‘House of the Dragon’ seemingly came at just the right time. I’ve watched the first three episodes and I still need to wrap my head around the new characters. I saw someone write something that perfectly describes it: “It’s like watching Game of Thrones, but you don’t know anyone.“ I might be biased having just finished GoT, but currently I am still on the fence and curious to see how it evolves. Here’s the trailer.

“But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.” – Viktor Frankl
What else?! 💯
My mobile provider switched off European roaming after I’ve spent so much time this year outside of Germany so I had to look for an alternative. I learned about the eSim functionality on the iPhone (had no idea!) which solved my problem. I found the European data pack from Airalo to be even more reliable than my Vodafone coverage in certain parts of Europe and the price is fair as well. Super happy to have found this alternative that lets me easily switch from one mobile network to another once I leave Germany. Here’s an overview of their data packages.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
