Not much snoozing happening around here: I think I might have slept for 3 or 2 hours last night. And whose fault is it I hear you ask? Mostly mine (I was busy with emails), although the bedroom heater conspired by refusing to work effectively when I finally surrendered on typing and sending. I shivered in bed for at an hour or so wishing fervently for another blanket or electric heater.
I am Ms. Emails: I sent out a few which was long overdue and part of my 2012 goals (more of that below). They include emails to: (1) the German company we bought our expensive furniture from, plaintively asking for help - to sort us out once and for all (they brought wrong pieces which couldn't be assembled; our living room remains a forlorn state) and (2) various friends regarding the deets of the party we will be hosting in summer. The deets took some time to prepare and involved a lot of research. It was fun (one of my 2012 aims); I'm so easily amused.
I haven't caught up on my missed zeds yet: Having to rise early this morning as the handyman was scheduled to appear first thing this morning. Sad to report that he turned out to be a no show - apparently "forgetting" about it. Funny to find these things happening here. First the delayed trains in Germany - now this. I feel somewhat let down somehow, expecting better Swiss/German efficiency (am I stereotyping?).
Lunch, tea and cake with lovely gal pals: I haven't discussed about my top ten 2012 goals here yet, but they include having fun while planning the summer party, exploring all things Basel and forming strong friendships. What better way to support the last two than to organise lunch followed by tea and cake at places I haven't been with the girls I like and get along with from the course.
I chose a lunch place based on a good internet review; It was located on the side of the river. We got lost, traipsing in the cold for 10-15 minutes before gratefully finding the restaurant. Conversation carried on and on over lunch and then over tea/coffee and cakes as good outings go. We all agreed it was fun; I will plan another one in coming weeks. Ooh, I'm so pleased that my goals for the year is prompting me to act.
