So I spent the first weekend at home in about 6 weeks and it was awesome. Got to give the apartment the "Brett Clean". You can't help but feel you are growing up when you actually have internal discussions about "how clean is clean" and "how much scum/mould is acceptable in a rental property" before taking off 2 or 3 layers of skin scrubbing happily with domestos...
On my mum's visit I had her bring all sorts of things, Iced Vovo's, vegemite etc, but the one ting she protested most about, but I am so grateful she brought with her is the Preen Stain Remover - I cannot find anything here similar.
Some Nomad I am. Going on and on about domesticity....The thing is, after being so mobile all the time, I actually find myself enjoying time at home. Maz wrote about Maz Time, for me Brett time is cleaning!!
Had time to do some more xmas shopping and looked at Snowboards - so excited to actually being part of the snow scene in Switzerland! Mostly though, a busy but well enjoyed time at home.
Oh, met up with Teo last night - used to be a trainee here in Basel, now doing some external work for the company, based in London. Thought it would be a few beers, but turned into 3 Beer Towers at the Fischerstube, dodgy Sam's kebab on the way home and lying in bed feeling sorry for myself until about 4am. Today will be an incredibly long day. Tonight having dinner with Brett and Jolene, 2 Canadian friends who won't be in Basel during xmas. Let the festive season begin.
