3rd attempt this morning to write this entry - do not hold down shift and the up arrow for too long - twice now I have made this stupid mistake...
Back in the office today after a very humbling experience on the mountain learning to snowbaord. With new boots, board and bindings I did very much look the part - until I tried to stand on the board...Ok, maybe over exaggerating, but I did spend a lot of time on my knees, wrists, back, neck and ass....
So sore today, I cannot lift my coffee mug to my mouth - pain reminiscient of my first yoga class...
Quite a kicker week last week - found a new asian restaurant, "Lillys" that has the decor, presentation and taste down pact - just need some more enthusiastic apathetic waiters - I can handle the 'I¨m to cool for this job attitude' to a certain point, as I too have been in many jobs just for cash...What I cannot tolerate is asking for a table and getting the reply, "I can't be bothered"...Needless to say we found our own table, left no tip, and my colleague even left payment in 5 cent pieces.....
Apart from shitty service, a good meal and I will be back...Also last week, saw Alexander - what a crap movie - Maz, totally agree with you on this one - and what the hell is with all the scottish/irish accents???
Found a new bar - very laid back, house music and funky seats - a few pints will be consummed here I am sure...went to an old bar, Bar Rouge - its on the 33rd floor of the local hotel with a view of the entire city of Basel, even from the toilet - you can't help but wonder as you do your business and peer out the window on the street below if someone is infact peering right back at you?!
