Conversations with the child
These days, Bean is a chatterbox on the way to school. Some gems from this morning:
– daddy, you need to get a real job.
– but I already have a job
– no, not work, a job. Like a cook, or a seller.
– do you mean a sailor?
– no, a seller, with a shop. Like a wine seller, that would be good.
– but then mummy would drink all our wine and we wouldn’t have any to sell.
– oh… How about a wine restaurant then, and you could tell mummy that she can only have one bottle a day.
– yeah, the world work.
– OK. When you finish your work, do that. That’s a good plan.
And my favourite :
– daddy, you need to take mummy out on a date.
– ??? OK, but we’ll need to wait until she feels better.
– all right. But you’ll need to buy her some nice flowers.
– OK.
– and some chocolate. And some candy. And take her to see a super duper duper super scary movie called werewolf zombies eat your brains with a headless king in it (!!! I kid you not). And you can even kiss her on the lips!
– Riiiiiight.
So yeah, a very good but very random moment. He also had me thank his teacher for teaching him French, because he’s really starting to want to pick it up.
Renounce science to make more money
My sausage got me in trouble at work…
I cooked the leftover sausages from the BBQ and brought them in to work yesterday. I had to leave early because Katy was being admitted to the CHUV for her operation, and this is what greeted me when I came in. Oy vey. My sausages are not compliant with Nestle policy.
Finally putting more pictures online
I’ve had some pictures on my camera memory card for a while now that needed putting online. Here are a few:

Something I look forward to say to Bean (*)
(*) if only about baldness.
Work BBQ
Today was the work bbq, on Preverenges beach. The weather was great, and everybody seemed to have a good time, with the food and beverages being more than plentiful.
I played grill master (a role I love) but, unexpectedly, that role had an unusual consequence today. I spent so much time standing on the same side of that grill that only half of my face got sun burnt from the sun reflecting off the lake.

Think before you print
This is what happens when you don’t realize that the shiny new wide format plotter you installed at work set itself up as your default printer. A4 wide text on 1m wide paper…
