Last weekend was quite busy but okay...
On Friday after work, I had the chores to do, then went to the village of Gossau to give invitations to my exhibition to the stores and even if some didn't take them, I was quite surprised that I could distribute rather many. Later on, I had some more work to do at home and then used my computer for a few hours but also worked for the exhibition and slept a bit. The evening, I went with Anita to eat a pizza at the Pizza Connection and it was good but the waiters were a bit overwhelmed. Maybe because of the blues concert, which was quite good. I used my computer a bit afterwards but didn't go to late to bed.
Saturday I woke up at 11:30, had a breakfast and things to do and used my computer for a few hours but also worked again for the exhibition. Then I went with Anita to Pfluftel because he celebrated his birthday. There was at least 12 furries, 2 of them which I didn't know. We had grilled meat with salad and it was very yummy and as usual I ate too much! :p But it was rally nice. Of course I took a few pictures. We also cuddled for a long time, we only left at 2:45AM and I was at home at 4AM!
Sunday I also slept quite long, almost till 12, had a shower, a breakfast, used the computer, prepared some stuff and then Jashi came to say hello and then Anita. I went with her to the town hall to install my 21 pictures for the exhibition. It went pretty well besides some details, we even didn't need 2 hours. Afterwards we went nearby to a restaurant to eat an ice cream. :) I went back home, had a bit of work and then relaxed and used the computer, but still had some work for the exhibition and for the company, especially the evening. But it was still okay and didn't go too late to be (but also not too early ;) |

| Weekend in Neuchâtel |
[Aug. 23rd, 2010|01:20 pm] |
On Friday it was a bit stressful :
After work, I directly went to the town hall to talk to the secretary, take 200 invitations for my exhibition and also the hooks to fix the pictures. Then I came back home to eat a bit, work a bit in the house and continue to prepare my case and used the computer a bit. Then the optician called that my glasses are ready, so I went to Wetzikon to collect them, I used my computer, finished to prepare my stuff and went to Neuchâtel with the train. There my dad waited and we went back home and later we had the dinner on the balcony, I talked much with my parents, drank beer and used the computer during the evening.
Saturday I woke up at 10:30 and went to the post to buy envelopes and stamps and then had a breakfast. I used the computer, had a small lunch, during the afternoon I used the computer, went to walk and also prepared the envelopes with the invitations for my exhibition. Later the evening, we went to people that we know, we were invited by them. There was another woman, and their daughter invited one of her friends, but the son wasn't there. We had a nice meal (grilled meat etc) on their terrace and I also made advertisement for my photography and exhibition. We stayed until 11:30PM and afterwards I used the computer for a couple of hours (even if I was tired).
Sunday, I slept until almost 12, had a breakfast and used the computer and did some other little works and at around 2PM, we ate, it was good but I wasn't so hungry because I was worrying for various things. We also talked a lot, then used the computer a bit again and then saw that it was time for me to go to my room, finish to pack and go. The travel was okay, I corrected an English text for my cousin and I could finish it, I just need to put the corrections on the computer. I arrived at home at 8PM, but I still had much work to do, for the company, in the apartment, for the exhibition, for my cousin, etc. Stressful times... |

| Quiet weekend |
[Aug. 16th, 2010|01:37 pm] |
The weekend was rather quiet. Well, not completely actually.
On Friday at home after work I was cleaning my glasses when they fell on the floor, right where it was quite hard and one of the glasses broke. So I had to put my lenses again and go to the optician in Wetzikon but on the way I went to the copy shop to order the printing of flyers and postcards for my exhibition. When I came back home I had the housework to do and then used my computer for the rest of the evening more or less, but didn't do much actually because I was quite tired. So I went to bed rather early for a Friday evening.
Saturday I first woke up at 11:30AM and I directly had some work to do and also had a breakfast, then used the computer for quite a long time, I didn't go to the StreetParade because of the bad weather. Maybe next year. I also had to iron during the eveing, maybe 1.5 to 2 hours of work and also took time to cook something. I didn't go out. So I used my computer for a good time and went to bed only at 3AM.
Sunday I woke up again after 11AM and had a breakfast, worked a bit in the house and used my computer for a couple of hours. Then went to wetzikon to meet a friend that I got to know in Neuchâtel, it's been more than 10 years that I didn't see him and now he lives in Fribourg. He has a D3s, for me that was quite interesting to see. But we talked about more stuff and walked to the Pfäffikersee even if the weather was bad, it started to rain when we arrived at the small beach restaurant. We ate something and had a beer, he showed me many things on his MacBook and I showed him some pictures etc. When the weather was better we walked back to the train station of Wetzikon and had a beer at the restaurant and showed him my collection of lenses and he showed me more things on his laptop. Then it was almost 8PM, so we left and came back home. I used the computer and ate for the rest of the evening but didn't do a lot because I was tired. |

[Aug. 9th, 2010|10:11 am] |
Friday after work was a bit busy... I went just after work to the Migros to make the weekly shopping alone. At home I had the chores to do, standard stuff plus take care of the washed clothes and also went to the Volg to buy drinks. I then used my computer from 4PM onwards and had some work to do for the exhibitions plus other things. I had later a nice meal and worked more but felt quite tired later, so I went to bed not too late, something like midnight.
Saturday morning, I woke up at 8:30 and left for the zoo at 9AM. There I met Kirauni, Kanu and KingSimba (three lions whose name starts with K, like the four new lion cubs of the zoo). We sit together and visited the zoo for the next hours but didn't take many interesting picture. Then Luxen also joined us and I made some nice shots of Kailash the young snow leopard. Later the three lions left for a white and I had a lunch with Luxen and then visited the zoo further and made a few nice shots. Later we saw again Kanu and Kirauni, later KingSimba came again too. At the snow leopard's enclosure, I also saw many hobby photographers that I now know, it's nice to see that there were so many. Then Luxen left because he went to the roundtable but we stayed because the zoo was open till 10PM. Kailash was visible and even came quite near, there were a lot of photographers with their big lenses and you only could hear "click click click..." like if a start was getting out of a car, that was crazy but I got some pretty cool pictures of actually all three snow leopards. We left at 9:30PM (but I only could take pictures till 8:30 because of the light) and with KingSimba I went to the BurgerKing in the main station and then went home and used the computer a couple of hours.
Sunday, I slept till 10:30, had some work to do and shave and then at 11:30 went to Greifensee to eat at my godmother's and uncle's place and it was nice as usual, we ate well and talked a lot, I stayed till almost 8PM and there was also the young cat of my cousin. At home I used my computer for a few hours but also had some work, but I didn't really feel good, maybe too much (different) alcohol? ;) |

I forgot to tell about last weekend!
Basically on Friday evening I went with Jashi to eat a Schnitzel in Uster, Saturday I mostly stayed at home to work on my exhibition and do other things, but I was quite tired the whole day, on Sunday I woke up very early to spend the day of the zoo of Basel, the weather was pretty good (not too warm, not to sunny) and I got some nice pictures, especially of the cheetahs.
Now, last weekend :
On Friday, after work, I went to Wetzikon to see stuff in a copy shop, buy a thread to hang my pictures at the exhibition and bought beer and meat at the coop. Then came back home and did the chores and also used the computer for the rest of the afternoon, I made business cards and worked on my new photo web site. I also started to attach the thread on my pictures. I had a dinner and used the computer for the rest of the day, I didn't got too late (also not early) to bed.
Saturday I really woke up late, almost at 1PM. I had a breakfast, some work in the house, continued to put the thread on the pictures (I have a total of 21, that's a lot of work). I used the computer to do different things as well, work on my site, visit cards and other stuff for the exhibition, it's good to get more advanced with it. I had enough to do after all. I grilled my meat on the balcony and ate pasta with it and had a nice evening (well, still worked for the exhibition after all).
Sunday, I woke up quite early, at 7AM, because at 7:30 I took the bus and train to meet Jashi, we went together to a farm in the region of Frauenfeld where they had a 1st of august brunch, for our national feast. That was quite yummy and it wasn't expensive. There was a band playing, Jashi knows some members of the band and also went to Japan with them (their director is Japanese). I also took many pictures. At almost 1PM we left, went back by train and was at home a bit before 3PM. I was tired so I lied down, then worked to attach the threads to my picture and also worked on the exhibition but not the whole time. I was tired almost the whole day. I watched a bit the fireworks from my window. I didn't go to late bed, but it could have been a bit earlier though! :P |

| Rather nice weekend |
[Jul. 19th, 2010|12:12 pm] |
Friday was usual after work : eat a bit, chores, then I used the computer a couple of times. I went then to a place in Uster to meet Jashi and went to the house of his friend Marcel. His wife lent me her bike which is quite good. We went together to buy something to drink and then went to the swimming pool on the shore of the lake and actually we spent almost two hours in the lake or on the floating platform. Then went a bit into the swimming pool and left the place to go around the lake, that's around 20km. It's been between 5 and 10 years that I haven't been on a bike, but that was still okay. The only problem is that a thunderstorm came to us so we had to be fast. It didn't rain but we saw the lightnings not too far. We arrived at a restaurant in Greifensee (almost the end of the tour) and it started to rain a lot a few minutes later. We had a nice dinner there and since it was still raining, we had a couple of beers while waiting. At almost 11PM, we saw it still was raining, so we left and a few minutes later we were quite wet. Then Marcel had a hole in his tire so he had to stop on the way and Jashi and I went to his place to bring the bikes, and return to him with the car. He could stop at a bus station. We loaded the bike into the car (we had to let the rear door open) and brought the bike at Jash's home as well. Marcel went back home with the bike of his wife and Jashi brought me to the train station. I was at home at 30 past midnight and used the computer a bit.
Saturday I woke up at almost 11AM, had a breakfast and used the computer quite a lot because the weather wasn't that nice. It started to rain the afternoon. I could do quite much things I wanted to do before. I also cooked a nice tomato risotto and worked a bit in the house (Friday and Saturday was also laundry days). I went to bed not early, but also not late.
Sunday I woke up at 9AM, had a coffee and went to the zoo but actually I missed the bus because my watch wasn't indicating the right time so I went to Wetzikon by foot (with my 18 kg of material). The weather was a bit cloudy and not too warm which was nice. I mostly tried to take pictures of Kailash, the young female snow leopard born on the 5th of May. I got some nice pictures of her! :) She is very cute and playful. I also took some pictures of Coto eating meat and only a few of the lions and the rhinos and some birds. But it's okay since I have lots of pictures to upload to Flickr. I stayed till 6 and before I took the tram, I took some pictures of a sunflower field near the station. On the way back in Wetzikon there wasn't a bus matching my train, so I also went back by foot. I was at a bit later than 7PM at home and Tiger's Claw was here. I had some stuff to do but used the computer most of the evening and I could have gone earlier to bed! :p |

| Hot weekend |
[Jul. 12th, 2010|08:07 pm] |
The whole week was quite warm but I had to work. On Friday I was free the afternoon as usual and did the usual things on the afternoon like the chores. The evening was okay, I slept a bit and started to iron the clothes and didn't go to late to bed.
Saturday morning, I woke up again at 4:30 to try to take pictures of the foxes with Anita, at the same place as the last time but we again didn't have much luck, only got some bad pictures and missed a couple of opportunities but there was nothing really good. We left at 6:45 and I went again to bed at 7:15 and slept until 1:40PM, which was too late. I had a coffee and used the computer, also worked a bit in the house and later carried on with the ironing. Later Anita took me by car to go to the furry roundtable. It was really hot. Inside the restaurant and outside. So we first stayed inside and more people started to come. Then, outside it started to wind, get stormy and colder so we moved outside... It was really nice but at a certain point it started to rain and went outside in the hot weather. This evening I also ate pretty much and had 2 liters of beer and at the end a coffee :p I went back with Jashi and Anita and then went to bed rather late.
Sunday I woke up at 10:30AM and had a breakfast, then finished to iron and did some other things, then used the computer for many hours and only ate a little bit. I had enough to do. Then later Anita came to take me by car and went to the HAN Mongolian where I invited her to eat and I myself ate a lot, that was quite yummy! We watched a bit of the world cup final and then went back home where I watched the second half time and used the computer. The rest of the evening was good too and didn't go too late to bed (but also not early). |

| Second part of the holidays |
[Jul. 4th, 2010|10:29 pm] |
On Thursday, I first had a few hours of chores and other work in the apartment and then some work at the computer, the I replied to mails, photoshopped some pictures etc. I went outside for about one hour before the sunset and took some pictures.
Friday morning I woke up at 4:30 to go with Anita to take pictures of foxes. At around 5AM we saw a couple but it was too dark to get good pictures. Then the people at the nearby horse stables made too much noise and the foxes stayed away. We left at around 7AM without any usable picture, sadly. She brought me home and I slept from 7:30 to about 11AM. I woke up, had a breakfast and used my computer for a few hours, ate a bit, etc. At around 6PM, I took the bus and train and then met Jashi in it. We met a friend of him at the main station, took the tram to a place near the lake and started to walk in the "Zürifäscht". We went to tree different rides which were a bit violent but nice. I also took many pictures. We walked further and had a something to eat. The night was slowly coming. We went on a small train (since Jashi is a fan of trains) and then walked further, watched a band play, and then saw the fireworks and also took some nice pictures of them and then came back home. I used the computer about one hour before going to bed.
Saturday I woke up rather late, had a breakfast and used the computer a few hours and ate a bit. I also had some smaller things to do in the apartment. I took a shower and at 6PM Anita came to take me and drove to Bubendorf which is not too far from Basel. There was the "Helvetic Fur Dance". The whole evening was really great! Many furries, also from Germany, I had some beers and other drinks, the music was good and the room also nice, just way to hot, so we went sometimes outside. We talked a lot. At some point I wasn't feeling good because I drank too much. :p
At around 2:30AM we left and took Luxen, Skulblaka and Neo. The way back took more time than expected because there were some closed parts of the highway and had to drive on the small roads. We arrived at my place at 4:30 AM and directly went to bed.
Sunday I woke up quite late because I didn't feel that good. I went to the computer but was quite slow and also had to lie down more. Later I started to feel better cooked something and worked a bit, but still, had a relaxed day. |

| First part of the holidays |
[Jul. 1st, 2010|02:58 pm] |
Since Friday at noon, I'm oficially in my first week of holidays of the year, and the weather decided to be summery for this occasion! :)
Friday afternoon after some work at home I took the bus and train to my parents, my dad collected me at the train station. We had a nice dinner on the balcony and the evening I used the computer and watched the world cup match Switzerland-Honduras. Sadly Switzerland lost and we need to go back home :p I didn't go to late to bed because I was quite tired.
Saturday I woke up quite late because, after a breakfast, we left at 8 to go to the zoo of Servion near Lausanne. We needed a bit more than one hour by car. The zoo isn't that big but not too bad. There were lots of pictures to take and I enjoyed it. My dad also took his camera, he was liking it as well. The only problem is that it was too sunny, the light was too hard. But well, better that than lots of rain. We had a lunch and then stayed in the zoo till 1:30 PM. We arrived at almost 3, my parents had to go somewhere. I spent the rest of the afternoon at the computer and we had a dinner at around 8PM. I spent the evening at the computer, TV and on the balcony.
Sunday I could sleep longer. I woke up at around 11, had a breakfast on the balcony and talked to my mother and then went to walk 45 minutes with the camera. It was long enough because it was quite hot. Then I talked with Micheline and then used the computer. My brother and Nadja came, we had an aperitif and then ate a nice meal, it was special for the birthday of me and my brother, it was nice and we talked a lot. We also watched a part of the England-Germany match. I used the computer and then had to catch the train back home. I arrived at 9PM and then Jagix joined me, he was on a 2-week trip from Neuchâtel (by foot). We watched stuff at the computer, talked, ate a bit etc. We didn't go too late to bed.
On Monday, I had to wake up not too late because a guy came at 8AM to repair the cupboard doors or the kitchen. I used my computer during the time. When Jagix woke up we went to the zoo of Zürich. The day was nice but quite warm and once again the light could have been better but finally I got some nice shots. We went afterwards to a Starbuck's coffee and took time to go back home. I used the computer and then cooked something together, it was nice. We spent the rest of the time at the computer and talking.
The next morning we woke up at 10:30, it was nice for a change. We had a breakfast, had to vacuum clean and do other things and then worked at the computer for my photo exhibition. Well, we did a lot that day (he could use my laptop to go online) and also went outside to walk a bit before the sunset. We ordered then a pizza and had a nice evening.
Wednesday we woke up quite early again and Anita came at 7:30 to take us. We brought Jagix to the Connyland to see if he can get a job and we went to the Wilhelma Zoo of Stuttgart. We arrived there shortly before 11AM. The zoo was quite nice but many enclosures were quite old. We didn't take many pictures at the beginning. We saw many cats but they were hard to photography. We stopped to eat as well. We still spent many hours to get good pictures and finally we made more than 1000, well, that's usual. We stayed till 7PM and then came back home, I slept in the car. I was at home at 9:45PM. I used the computer, ate, etc, also went a bit outside.
I will tell you the rest of the holidays in a few days! |

| Weekend in France |
[Jun. 21st, 2010|07:40 pm] |
Friday I took a day off so that I could go, just after work, to the family in Alsace. I took a train to Zürich and one to Basel, then the last one to Colmar where my uncle took me to their house. After installing myself, I had something nice to eat white listening to the match France-Mexico on the radio. The rest of the evening I talked to the family, pet the animals and my cousin came with his girlfriend later. I used my laptop a bit before going to bed.
Friday I woke up a bit before 11AM. I had a coffee and used my computer. Later we ate the lunch, talked, I used my computer, went to walk 30 minutes with my cousin and the evening I went with him to the rehearsal room of their band. I got to know the other four members and took the pictures of the rehearsal, that was quite nice. I helped then to transport the material to someone's place, he collected his GF and went home where we ate 'Flammakueche' rather late, with some good wine. Then I used my computer, had a shower and went to bed.
Saturday I also woke up at 11AM, had a breakfast, used my computer and later we had a lunch. I used my computer and talked and later I went with the parents to the concert of my cousin's band, it was a kind of small festival in Colmar. I also took many pictures of the concert, it was pretty cool. I also had many beers. Then we left and came back home for a short time and then went to the village where my uncle comes from, where he has his mother and other people of his family. We went there to the 60th birthday of a woman of my uncle's family. I only knew max. 5 people there (besides my aunt and uncle) but finally it wasn't boring, because it had much good stuff to eat and drink, rather good music, I took many pictures too and the people were friendly. Finally we stayed till 2AM and I was a bit drunk but not too much. I used my computer a bit and had a shower, went to sleep at 3:30AM.
Sunday I woke up later, at noon but I didn't have a hangover! ;) I had a coffee and used my computer. Later I went a bit to walk, then used my computer again and talked and then we ate good stuff (the GF of my cousin was there again). Sadly after I had to finish to pack and then my aunt took me to the train station because it was time. The travel was good and had a nice evening at home (yes, I mostly used my computer) ;) |
