A short week of Work outfits

Thought it would be fun to take a photo every morning before I run up the street to catch my tram, then another, then a bus to the office.  I must admit,  I was pretty monotone last week until I crammed many colours into one day.

International Office

The perks of working in an international organization are the little surprises my colleagues bring back from their travels.  My colleague who frequently travels to and from Japan kindly brought members of his team these green-tea flavoured KitKats,  can't wait to try it.  Cool gifts like these need to be saved for special moments.

Some Basler Läckerli from my hometown which I will bring in for my colleagues to try today

Welcome Weekend

Anyone else take photos of the back of their 'work hair' before they run out the house in the morning? I thought it looked good yesterday...but my braid had unraveled by the time I got to my desk.  So happy I don't have to dress businessy on the weekend.

Dear Weekend,

You have been often neglected when I was a fresh graduate, and all throughout my 4 years at university.  It's nothing personal,  just...every day felt like you.  I want you to know that I really appreciate you now, how you pop by once a week and leave me all refreshed and energized.  It's nice you let me spend your time with so many people and always leave different memories every time you visit. Every now and then, you decide to stay longer, like around easter for example. I think you should do that more often. This year, your idea to visit on Christmas AND new years has not got me jumping for joy.

Kindest regards and have a nice day,


Hannah

Hectic September

This month has gone by in a whoosh.  Remember that job I interviewed for a little while back?

 I got it ! 

Since then, I have been energetically searching for a place to stay in Geneva.  I went down to Nyon with my lovely friend Louise who starred in the pool post.  We swam in lake Léman,  cooked some amazing meals containing wholegrain Dijon mustard, and had drinks on a floating bar on the lake in the city...Geneva, I am starting to like you a lot. While I was there I spent a lot of time walking around Geneva getting an idea of the area whilest going to viewings and visiting agencies (who aren't the least bit helpful)... and I even got a little tanned sunburnt.

In-between, I came home to ♥ for an evening and an afternoon (where I showed off my amazing new Dijon talents only to find out he has never 'really been a fan' of mustard) before being whisked away to Berlin by my dad.

My long weekend there consisted of trying two of 101 cocktails at a great little brazillian bar, eating at trendy yet quirky transit restaurant, and broadening my wardrobe with office-appropriate pieces.  On our 4 hour Sunday walk I got to see the wall and be a tourist, the mood suited the cities darker history as it was drizzling with rain and grey for most of the day.

After another day trip to Geneva with  ♥ to view a cute roof-studio, and some nervous waiting, I received confirmation that I have a place to stay (with only 7 days to spare), I call being the Lucky one this month.

It may be a little while before posts are frequent (especially smiley cooking ones) as I need to find a photographic device that can withstand my clumsiness (sadly my £4 phone although can stay alive over 3 weeks, hasn't got a camera).  I wish you a lovely week.

Pre-Reunion Wedding

I will be setting off tomorrow for Bath in the UK to attend my cousin Emma's wedding.  I will finally get the chance to meet her new baby daughter and husband-to-be for the first time while catching up with all my British relatives.

Apologies for being rather sporadic with posts,  not having a camera of my own is the number one reason for this.  But hopefully things will change.  I had a Skype interview with an international company in Geneva this morning and am crossing my fingers that I get positive feedback and will be able to afford a camera.

Here's a pic of me in an interview outfit taken 2 years ago

Heatwave in Switzerland is making me crave these lollies we had exploring Barcelona in 2009

I'm considering this dress for the wedding, I wore it at my high-school prom when I became ♥'s girlfriend in 2006

Happy I can still fit in most of my clothes 5 years on
