Four for four :)

After a rough start to the day (I really shouldn't have eaten dinner last night, apparently my stomach was not quite ready), today actually turned out pretty well.  I had the office to myself today, so I was able to make some good progress at work today.  The up-side of having to accomplish the same task 227 times is that it's quite easy to measure progress towards being done. It reminds me of when I interviewed the Barrie chief of police about his favourite job, and he said cutting grass at Base Borden, because at the end of the day, he could always look back and see that he had accomplished something.

There is an expat website in Geneva called glocals, where people can post activities, events, ask questions etc.  It's where I found out about the running club.  Someone organised an event for Canadians to go watch the hockey game tonight, so I decided to join in.

The sun starting to set over the city.

The event was held at McSorley's pub, which is actually located inside the sports complex with the 50m pool and arena.  The bar was packed with Canadians, a few Americans and the occasional confused Britt.  There were tons of TVs that were all playing the hockey game the whole time.  It was almost like watching back home.  I met lots of new people, including some WHO staff. 

Some new Canadian friends.

I was happy to have even more mail to come home to today, this time in the form of lots of messages from friends at the TNDC bonspiel.  I also had a card and letter from Grannie and a Spain travel book to really start to plan our April trip.  I have been feeling a bit homesick this week, with the bonspiel, and news of new babies (Congrats Nick and Alycia!), and the excitement around the Games that just isn't the same here, so thank you so much for the letters this week, they have really brightened my days.

Feeling the love from home!
