Painting...

What has kept me busy last week... repainting a 53 m2 flat :) My flat. Or rather, OUR flat. :) I'm so excited about moving in together with Vincent, even if it means commuting to work, but it will be worth it :)

When we visited the flat, we had to concentrate hard on thinking "potential potential"... it was in a disgusting state, the previous people living there had obviously no notion at all of cleaning :S The walls were dirty, the kitchen greasy, don't even want to mention the bathroom... But, it's cheap and well located, so we decided to take up the challenge :)

And after painting and cleaning, i can tell you it looks GREAT :) Moving all the furniture this week-end!

My mom hard at work :) She's the best!! And no, these are not clothes we usually wear ;)

It looks like the kids living there before us really liked painting the walls too... in blue ;)

I really did manage to get pain all over me, including my hair!

Skiing and birthday

2 weeks ago (I know i'm a bit slow with posting..), Selim and his sister came to visit me for the week-end and skiing (which was probably the main reason for their coming... ;)). We went to Verbier on Saturday, and although there wasn't any snow in the rest of the Alps, we had great snow, lots of sun, and not too many people.
Saturday, Caro and Fabian joined us for a fondue night, it was really great being again reunited, such a short time after London. Next time will be for Fabo's big 30th, and i hope that this time Augusto will make it too... :)

And as Selim had his birthday on Monday, he got some candles to blow :)

Skiing and New Year's

For New Year's, I went skiing four days in France with Vincent and my family (who stayed a whole week there). The first two days, the weather was great but not that much snow, and the last two days, there was plenty of snow, the problem was that it was falling on us instead of being under our skis... so we couldn't ski that much because of the snowstorm, but still could enjoy a few hours :)

Les Ménuires... usually, there should be snow everywhere on the picture :S Thank you global warming

Having fun in the sun :)

With my brother, kamikaze in chief when it comes to skiing ;) forces me to not be all too lazy and ski fast :)

New Year's eve fun :) After that we enjoyed a nice dinner in a restaurant

Christmas 06

This year my grandparents came over from France for Christmas. Everything was great, the tree, the food, the atmosphere, the presents... I love family Christmas :)
