Farm girl happiness

I’ve recently enriched my life with two essential things for a great summer in Townville:
1) a “Saisonabonnement” (entry that’s valid for the whole season, meaning the entire summer) for the public pool in Nidau which is right next to the lake and also has the usual swimming pools
2) a readers card in the public library, which is just one block away from where I work (and blocks here are small)

no more excuses for not doing sports and not reading books!
although, just read the “cheating sheet” of “leading successfully for dummies” and what does it show: a swot-analysis… please…

Another piece of happiness, Trini, a young cow giving birth without any problems. Her son is obviously called Tobago, since his mother’s name is the short version of “Trinidad”, that’s how we give names over here…
Which brings me to some other little kids who need names, anyone has an idea how to call a little black long-haired dragon-like kitten? We already have a cat like this and she’s called Nepomuk, so that name’s already taken…

back to work now... need to finish early so I can prepare the connect meeting :-D

Aw, how cute! What about Draco, or Levi(athan)? LOL Or this name (taken from Wikipedia, hihi) : Ladon

"The dragon Ladon, guarded the Golden Apples of the Sun of the Hesperides, daughters of Atlas, who held the sky upon his shoulders".

:-) Maybe too mythological for a cat...but just some suggestions from my side

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, somehow studying at the Institute of International Studies in Geneva right now, but I spent half of last year in India, working and travelling I LIKE: cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, playing around with html, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, talking to friends and living live consciously I DON'T LIKE: the "skin" on the milk coffee, arrogant people, not getting noticed, if life's only a big blur

Friends in words:

Cool swiss blogs and other links:
