I worked ten years in a restaurant in Schwamendingen, often up to sixteen hours a day. And at home I had three children to look after. I had a very difficult time then. When I was forty-five years old, I went to a specialist school for publicans and then took over the Letzi Restaurant in District 6. By that time luckily the twins were already out of the woods. So at last I could breathe easy.
