It's HOT, very unusual for British summer. Two years ago today we had hail stones and this year we've had a non-stop heatwave.
Had dinner on the terrace, with peanuts and beer to start and finished with seaweed rice rolls. Cool breeze finally arrived in the end. A good summer's finish.

Spring is such a joyous occasion. Just looking plants sneaking out from the compost is enough to put me in a good mood. Our luck with British sun continues over this weekend. And tomorrow is another bank holiday. What can I ask for more?

All flower bulbs 75% off! Somebody went a bit crazy. It's not me, if you are wondering as I only got a pack of red begonia. All three are in the pot and I hope!

Tried two fitness classes today, LBT followed by Body Pump. Not sure whether I am pushing myself too hard as feeling a bit tired in the evening. I will try this combo a few months and see how it goes. I like strength training. any chance to wave goodbye to my flabby arms? We will see.

Life continues to be a bit hectic but more relaxing now since my talk was done last week. This week we have been blessed with generous doses of sunshine every day, that puts a smile on my face every day (and I can forget about the rain and the cold from last week).
Went to a lunch time buffet with colleagues. I knew what it would be like before I went but still came back a bit disappointed. Well, the main point was to be sociable.
Going the the Body Pump class today in the evening thinking that it would help me work off the lunch time greed. I was certainly mentally motivated but my body was not there 100%. The class routine was changed today because the planned instructor couldn't make it. Doing cardio with a (still) full belly was not a good idea. But I still came back happy, sore and relaxed.
No dinner tonight except for a cup of warm tea.

What should I do for this lovely long weekend? Let's see.

Arrived in Basel EuroAirport. Really funny to see that right after baggaue claim, there are two signs, Switzerland to the right and France to the left! Are they just like the closet in Narnia? Love it.
A supposedly no more than 10-min walk to the hotel ended up 70 minutes. Well, the rain did not help.
After checking into the hotel and resting for 1 hr, I thought I would go for a short walk to the city centre. Well, the rain has not stopped. Decided to have a quiet night and got a gyros kebap across the street for dinner. Grilled meat, chips, salad all wrapped in a nice pita bread. Heaven.

1st day of talks by the users and the conference dinner.

My talk today!
No time to see Basel after all. This is probably my first ever conference which I couldn't visit the city. I met some interesting people here and had a good experience overall.
