Week Snapshots

Last weekend while us girls went to the spa the boys prepared dinner on the grillk8rv
. Prepared in this case means buying the meat and chopping up vegetables since we had to cook our own food anyway!

This week we said our goodbyes to winter. The weather wasn't what I consider pre-spring weather but somehow the temperature kept coming up, leaves are slowly starting to appear on the dead-looking trees and flowers are just budding everywhere. And finally we had blue skies to welcome the change of seasons.

Seeing that it was the bi-annual restaurant week I tried a couple of new restaurants. The food was delicious and the service was great in both cases. The wine arrangement though was a bit too much for me and I felt spaced out on Sunday morning.

This weekend I had my first indoor climbing experience. We went to this massive (massive for me possibly not for experts) climbing wall. I was hooked up to the safety line and somehow I managed to be spider man for a couple of hours! I loved it and even though I was doing the baby routes I felt that I was challenging myself to do better each time.

Work has been rather busy with very tight deadlines. Somehow we toughened it up and now have a product which seems that will manage to make it in the real world.

Spring Winter Cleaning

The first week of the year is already over. During this period many feel the need to 'spring' clean their house to purge it from unnecessarily stuff. It's a great way to get rid of the things we don't use or need any more. I also felt the urge to clear the apartment from things that I haven't used last year but this urge came by for different reasons. In my opinion anything that was not used in the last year should most probably be thrown away. At the same time I am very emotional to throw things away so sometimes it seems like a fight with my internal self to get to throw away objects that are not broken!

Due to our imminent move we started packing our life into boxes. We're still at the  beginning but the study is already looking bare! Ten boxes packed and a full garbage bag of things to throw out. I think slowly adapting not to be a hoarder.
