The plus side of being insanely busy

This week has been pretty heftig, and stressful. But tonight is going to be a good night (to misquote the legendary Black Eyed Peas who I heard in the shower this morning).

Lack of a computer has meant that in my rare free time I have been able to catch up a bit on correspondance. I am WAY overdue in replying to letters. To my shame it has taken my almost 2 months to reply to a good friend of mine. No idea where the time flies.

Yesterday Philippe arrived from Paris. He was meant to arrive on Tuesday but because of a job interview delayed his arrival a day. He got the job so he’s now in proper celebrating mood. It’s lovely to see him. I made a massive stir fry last night, 1kg of rice for 6 people (gonna be having rice for lunch and supper today…)

AND he gave me a box of Ladurée macaroons, apparently the last word in macaroons. They were delicious. He certainly knows the way to a girl’s heart.

All my student friends had their last exam today so tonight we’re going to go to the Oktoberfest to celebrate. This will be the first proper outing of my Dirndl.
