2-4 August 2012 - Catching Up

Oh gentle reader....am I a bad blogger, I am letting you down by being behind in my dates.  I would like to thinkthis is the case but secretly suspect that you may be sighing relief at the gaps.

Anyway I will press on regardless, as any tortured artist can.

The next few days were a whirlwind of cycling and relaxing, sounds like something the unemployed would do other than making sure their "underthebridgebook" is up to date.  You know what it is like, comparing the best cardboard boxes, what newspapers keep you warm, the restaurants with the best waste.......

I know, you do not believe me.  As the Germans say, I am living a "big feet" lifestyle.  A new expression for me, and like the Yeti, a complete mystery!!  Oh, I jest.....

In these days of relaxation, what have I been doing.  Well, I am pleased to say that I have finished my LEGO Architecture version of the White House - the coolest souvenir.

Yes, I admit that I am a big kid but it does look pretty neat!

I have done some more cooking, a marvellous Thai Green Curry (whose picture I have lost) and a lovely marinated chicken breast (soy sauce, garlic, chili and ginger) with chanterelle mushrooms.  Can I say that the breast was cooked to perfection...moist and tender....all washed down with a Dom Perignon 2003

I know you have been desperate for out own little episode of "Swiss Neighbours".  I cannot keep my fans in the dark.  They have been most interesting over the past few days...drama, intrigue, Jason, Kylie...the pictures can only tell the tales......

The son never stops reading, no wonder he doesn't have a girlfriend.  Ma and Pa are worried.....

Ma is frantic in the kitchen and with her cross stitch

Gotta love a family lunch...Simpson's eat your heart out.

If Mama does not cook a good meal then it is time for the chloroform...I never saw her wake up.

I was clearly wrong as she rose from the vinyl couch in time to cut her nails in front of the family...phew.  This is an event which need to be public and it is nice that Papa keeps his shirt off...woof....grrr....
