So its getting closer now. Michelle has officially finished work and will be leaving Germany this week! She is going to visit me here in Lausanne for a day or 2 then she is off to Lisbon to visit Dave & Annie. Me?
I have another bloody week of work left…126 reports to write….a small mountain of paperwork to prepare for the incoming staff and a set to finish building for a school play…then I’m off to Basel to run a 5 day workshop for MYP Teachers….not that I’m complaining (much) tho. Just counting the days. We have both got inspections on our apartments, bureaucratic hoops to jump through to leave Europe and Japanese hoops to negotiate to get in. Wish us luck with our red tape tangle!
I cant wait for our little cycle tour. “Black Forest to the Black Sea” (not that we will get even close to doing it all, but it sounds better) Taking my bike into the ‘best bike mechanic in Switzerland’ to get it serviced tomorrow morning. Kinda nervous. I’m told he is a complete “tool” and a jerk by my friend that recommended him. He should be a good judge….(Former Australian Olympic cyclist) and is seriously into his cycling. The mechanic is supposed to be completely anal about cycles…just the guy you want to work on your bike before a long tour. Can not speak a word of English…and my bike has been a bit neglected (not out of the cave for 18 months)…should be fun. Then its a relaxing ride down the Danube. Won’t even need to peddle…just roll…its all down hill. Right? I need this holiday…
ps: Amazing win by Turkey tonight…WOW!
