It has been a relaxing few days and I have managed to take some photos

have a couple of nice lunches, take it easy and catch up on some sleep but sadly not too much serious exercise. Just looking forward to Oktoberfest in Zürich with some mates tomorrow evening and then it is the weekend again................ golly gosh, where did the week go?!

Sunday 24 October 2010

It is a wonderful feeling to be at home on a Sunday afternoon

awaiting guests and knowing that you don't have to go to work in the morning! We have been cooking and getting ready for a few visitors and I'm just about to organise some more music. Fingers crossed that the weather plays along this week- I would like to be able to spend a day hiking and try to take a few photos too.......

One of the great pots of onion soup of the modern era

along with some cheese and onion "monkey bread". I think that "Cookie" has just been waiting for the cooler weather to come along before lighting up the kitchen! Thanks- it was fantastic. POOT!

Sunday evening with our guests was fun

although we probably drank more whisky than one should on a Sunday night.......
One of the guys in my office was asking me about Patek watches and we were discussing a few things- as much as I love their mega-expensive complicated watches, I would be more than happy with this one designed by Gerald Genta.

As much as I love my nieces and nephews

some of them can be pretty cheeky. I mean, who would ever dream of sending a birthday card like this to an uncle?  :-)

Thanks guys! It was lots of fun.

Well,........ at least Monday is behind us

and now we can get on with the rest of the week. It is great that it is going to stay warm and be nice for the next few days at least- maybe out on the bike again on the weekend :-)

Saturday 2 October 2010

It has been a busy week

which included a great night out in Vaduz with Manfred (still can't really believe that we drank 2004 Rockford Basket Press for CHF78!?) and a couple of visits to Isakaya. Took the time this afternoon to go for a walk with Catherine and took a few photos. There are some great colours out there at the moment- it was nice to be able to capture a few.
Looking forward to the Grinderman concert in Zürich on Tuesday night and then a visit to Oktoberfest on Thursday...... giddy up!
