boring blogger?

The question is - are you still reading the blog, or am I writing too little ;)? Has been difficult to find enough time to do so.

The trams have started to run in geneva, little by little replacing the buses. the idea is great, they are just so quiet that you have to be really careful you dont get hit by one of the silent trams when illegally crossing the road - kids, do not try this outside your own home!
As someone told me this morning, this city is not prone to change, so it is surely nice to see such change even in the short amount of time in which I have been here.

I have taken my link to my blog off jesus.de since a few coleagues hinted that the access is a little too easy. Why not. I am writing a blog accessible to the Net. But dissasociating it from my company is for sure a good idea. Not that I write any real biased posts anyway.

It was nice this last weekend to return to southern Germany. What a different life I am in now. I used to drive to Kandern and become utterly nostalgic. Now, I just love being there, but know in my heart of hearts that this is not the current Euphonies abiding place. I got to speak with Bruni, the wonderful woman, who took great care of me for 7 months as well as the Mark and his family, who are pure and simply family. You always are welcome there, and that is such a privilege. Markus, war genial dich noch einmal zu sehen, vielleicht das letzte Mal des Jahres?

It was a spontaneous decision to flee for a short while. Sort of the combination of missing people, escaping a pot-smoking and vodka drinking neighbor who enjoys knocking on my door as soon as I walk in the door and the peak of excitment to try out my new car. Votes for the name remain accepted, by the way. Got one name for the Chamade: Charlett or Bino: a mix of b-i and Renault. You guys are so funny.

By the way, the neighbor is totally nice, just overly friendly. Monday night I had him and the electrician over for a drink. They didnt appreciate my choice of non-alcoholic beverages all that much complaining "this is like breakfast, dude!". It was nice to have the company.

Escaping was really good, it allowed me to face Monday with a clear head. And boy, do we need the clear thinking at this time! Last night I made it home by 1am for a 8am client meeting. Not my absolute preference in the area of private life, but this is of course sometimes necessary. I think I will have to be buying a proper alarm clock, Ron, since I am prone to destroying mobile phones or at least switching them off. Sleeping in, is not good, you see? Maybe I could buy that alongwith the toilet seat THAT WAS TAKEN BY THE PREVIOUS RENTERS after they left - cheek!!

On my way to Germany, I couldnt help but visit the junk yard... and, she was still there. The beauty in white. Odette had had her tires changed, awaiting total destruction. But the 'new' tires looked like floaties on the rims. Had Odette have had 13inch tires, I could have taken them myself for her new sister. (as well as the brand new wipers dad and I changed, right papa?) Anyway, the past is the past. New things are to come!

Other than that, all is well, need sleep, but ... tomorrow (always tomorrow!), tonight is house group, and I am excited!

    I'm still reading :)

    Did I or did I not say you'd stop writing once you'd found friends ;)
    And I wouldn't blame you.

    Hmmm... Alarm clocks... I'm not great with them either. Even if I placed mine over the other side of the room I was still able to get up, switch it off and go "back" to sleep, without really waking up, and when I did wake up later, wonder if my alarm clock was broken 'cos it "hadn't gone off" :s
    I now have alarm clock AND radio... Can still switch 'em both off and not wake up (if I'm tired).
    No! Sleeping in is not good!

    Have fun at home group :)

    God bless.
    SC :)
