Arrival in GENEVA!

Whoah I cant believe Im in Geneva - where the keyboards are different so to avoid me finding my apostrophe key for typing out this post! AHHH

I flew via Emirates from Perth to Dubai, then Dubai to Geneva, all in 18 hours. The flight was quite suprisingly restful, and the food was really good for aircraft fare. Got in a few hours sleep myself, which is the reason why I was coherent enough to find my way around.

Met up with some of the others at the arrival hall at Geneva airport, and traveled by train and tram to Lhotel Residence St James with 2 to a room for our group.

Then we had Italian for dinner - yum!! 8P But because I was watching my money (who cares about my waist?) all I had was a mushroom pizza and a coke.... How unique am I, right?

After a wonderful dinner, we traipsed, jetlagged, back to the hotel and had a well deserved sleep. The pillows were square. I thought it was pretty funny. It was so comfy Im getting one when I go back to Perth.

No camera cable port for this comp available, so PHOTOS TO COME!! 8D  

Training at the last minute - bad idea?

Went training at Jacob's Ladder and Mount street. Rolled my ankle too, but it seems fine even after I got back home. Also did Kokoda Track few weeks ago but that, to me, seems a whole lot more strenuous than all of them combined. Behold!

Thank you Lee and Lyndon for driving me around while I was tagging along! It's tough trying to keep up but I do suppose, after all this workout, I felt a little more confident in myself.

8th in my Muscular Dystrophy List:
Distal Muscular Dystrophy. This group of rare diseases affects adult men and women. It causes weakness and wasting of the distal muscles (those farthest from the center) of the forearms, hands, lower legs, and feet. It is generally less severe, progresses more slowly, and affects fewer muscles than other forms of muscular dystrophy

Charity Dinner - Success!!

I was so nervous for all of the 2 weeks leading up to my Charity Fundraising Dinner.
What if the food was undercooked? What if everyone felt bored or awkward? What if NOBODY SHOWS UP?!

I had decided to hold a dinner (with an invite to all my friends and colleagues) with an European theme, and blustered about looking for the perfect place and I found it - Pancakes & Grill on James St! The owners were kind enough for allow me to create a set menu - Savoury Crepes for mains, Delectable Pancakes for dessert and a drink to follow it down with. I prepared a fun little quiz for all my guests, a homemade food hamper to raffle off and a speech - for those who didn't know what they were there for. With all things ready, I held my breath, crossed my fingers and forced myself to chill.

RESULT - It was magical. 

I owe it all to my wonderful guests - they were such an amazing bunch of outgoing, happy people.
I love you guys.

Yum Crepes!!!
