Euro 2008

The Jet d'Eau, situated in Lake Geneva has also dressed up for the Euro 2008. Despite the gloomy weather there were a great number of Turkish and Portuguese fans that came to see their national team play today at 20h45 at the Stade de Genève. The Suisse national team will be playing against the Czech Republic in Bâle at 18h. I am not really a football fan, but seeing those enthusiastic people in the street with their team's paraphernalia was really amusing. While police hovered around, one supporter would start shouting his country's name --soon others would follow, then it was the opponent's fans turn and it just went on and on and on. The street became so alive with excitement, people started to smile, the gray surrounding suddenly looked so vibrant---it's just wonderful!! I love football!! Wait!! I think I have just seen a Ronaldo(#17-Portugese player) look-a-like! Again--I -am--not---a fan!! ; ) I repeat....

Hello my beautifull sister-in-law!
I was in the center of the town this afternoon too.
Seeing smiling baby boys and girls (not more than 4 years old) with flags drawn on their cheeks made me laugh, seeing all the bars and restaurants finally full made me happy.
For some weeks our town is going to be alive!!

Your blog is very nice, congratulations

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?

Just like Winnie the Pooh

I want to be like him today. Smiling...even if Erin's sick and hasn't been sleeping well for two nights now. Or despite the fact that my computer is under repair. This post is actually done using my hubby's which he doesn't like coz there were times when his computer got virus because of me. My friends, I will visit you, that I promise so see you around.

Let it snow, let it snow--man!

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!
