We built it, and they came. Or something like that. In the end, the evening was a good one, albeit tiring. People told us it was the best one yet, and the treasure hunt and the chimenea were big hits. I’m a bit miffed that my vin chaud turned into vin tiède. Need to find a way to keep it warm next year. Still, in the end, people had a good time. Slender-Bean said he has a mostly good time (high praise, I’ll take it!), and Katy and I were skunks with cigars in the park.

I am moo-cow.

A little snack

Bread, meat, cheese and pickles. I could happily live off of this. Just need a bit of wine now.

Comptoir Suisse – part 2

Posted on September 18, 2017 By admin

We didn’t have time to do everything yesterday, so we went again today. We were all very tired from yesterday, so we didn’t have as good a time. Still, Bean handled a shoulder-fired antitank grenade and I bonded with a cow (and was seriously tempted to trade the cow for the child).

I got a cuddle from a giant weed leaf. Katy posted the picture on her instagram. It was liked by LA-based real estate law firm. Yay, Internet.

Well that was unexpected

Things you expect to find in a high-end tobacconist:

  • Cigars 
  • Pipes and pipe tobacco 
  • Lighters and general paraphernalia 

What you might not expect:

  • A damn good whisky selection 
  • Legal cannabis 

Speaking of that last one. Montréal dîme bags were a bargain compared to the price here!

Brunch, bitches! 

Posted on August 13, 2017August 14, 2017 By admin

Katy and I went for brunch at the Café de Grancy in Lausanne this morning. It really reminded us of Eggspectation, but with a nicer vibe. We had croissant, fresh bread and brioche that should come with a warning label it was so moreish. I had an English-y breakfast and Katy had smoked salmon, Asian-y salad and pesto toast. The service was a bit slow but the food was excellent. We’ll definitely go again.

It was a warm day, and we stopped at the pub for a pint (or two) and some colour-appropriate chips.

Quote of the day

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This is a fact well known even to Corporal Nobbs. It's also wrong. There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
