On the train to the airport, we all decided that we weren’t going to stare at screens. It kind of got to is…

End of school year lunch
It’s the last calm weekend before summer madness begins so we had a quiet but really nice day today. We had lunch at Toriko, which Bean enjoyed. When we came back, we joined our upstairs Canadian neighbours who were having a little farewell apero. They’re moving to Basel for work (Roche). We spent a couple of hours drinking Aperol and chatting then Bean went to spend a couple of hours playing with Lam.
Now, apple pie and ice cream.
Thanks Pops
Katy has the unfortunate habit of kissing things with the car bumper. Most times, it’s not a big deal. Last time, with a cement column…less so. It took about 15 minutes of cursing, but I managed to get all the brackets realigned and the bumper back on. It wasn’t that big of a job, but it made me think of my dad. I don’t have anywhere close to his mechanical skills, but I’m also not afraid to get my hands dirty. And I got that from him, as well as the importance of a decent set of tools. So, thanks pop.
Still life, with sparrows
Work BBQ
Two pictures from our group BBQ at the bosslady’s house. Good food (!), good wine, good laughs, and cows with bells. Rousing success!
The world of meat
​A unique workshop where you will learn all about meat, the issues it raises and the latest technology. Watch as our activity leader joints a piece of meat, explaining each stage of the process. You then use some of the cuts to create a dish to sample together at the end of the workshop.
Katy bought me a place in an Alimentarium workshop. It turned into a 3h private chef lesson, seeing as I was the only person registered. We made chicken appetisers, ballotines, two different types of sausage, and generally had a really good chat about food in general. We ate what we cooked, but there was so much of it that the family enjoyed the leftovers.
Straight out of a nouveau-vintage catalog
The child is wearing my socks this morning. I think he looks retro-cool, he says it keeps his legs warm.
No respect…
While the Bean’s away…
Bean is away for the week at a school camping trip. It’s a very Swiss things to do. Fingers crossed, he’ll have a good time :)
Lazy Sunday cat
Pavel being himself, in his favourite spot. The sun in shining, the birds are chirping, and we’re packing stuff to send the boy to camp for a week. Good times.
