Oct. 15th, 2007 10:06 amLast week I just enjoyed getting back to my usual routines after the vacation. On Wednesday the whole company went away on a conference. Luckily it was only one night so it didn't feel very long.
The best part of the conference was a lecture from adventurer Renata Chlumska (www.renatachlumska.com) who showed videos of her expeditions (she's travelled around the US by canoe and bike and also climbed Mt. Everest). It was very inspiring.
In the evening there was dinner and wine. I escaped the heavy partying (karaoke, drunken sauna & some scandals from what I hear, sigh) by escaping to the upper loft with my co-workers where we chatted and drank cider. Much more pleasant. Since the manor were supposedly haunted, Lena didn't dare to sleep alone so I slept in her room (she had a two bed room all by herself.)
On Friday after work I went to the store and bought a new winter jacket, cap & gloves, and threw my old ones away. The coat I had before was very ratty so it felt good to exchange it. Today at work everyone thought it looked nice.
On Saturday I went to the gym and watched TV. Yesterday Malin came over and I gave her the Cyprus delight that I had bought for her in Cyprus. I made carrot cake with cream cheese frosting which was yummy. I have saved a piece for tonight. Last night I watched Heroes and worked with
silversolitaire on her story which was something I had missed.
