TO ALL, WE WISH YOU A HAPPY 2008!!!


A TOUS, UNE EXCELLENTE ANNEE 2008!!!



Some Friends of ours send us a great sms / text with the following:

Adios 2007!
As 2008 is here to stay...Remember, Life is short,
break the rules, forgive
guickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh
uncontrollably, and never regret
anything that made you smile. We hope
2007
will give us plenty of time to meet
again!
Hugs and xxx
Thanks
I&L

Thank you Guys, you Guys are real sweethearts! Yes, we hope to have
plenty of time to meet again and the rest of you as well!

In the meanwhile here are some pictures of last night. I shall post an updates soon with some small movie clips.

Drinking some "Apibul" (Children's champagne made of organic sparkling apple juice without any added sugar) on her Daddy's laps.

Some "Ecrevisses" canapes.

Sipping "her Champagne".

New Year resolutions / Les bonnes résolutions

I think my good friend Yolande is right...why have them if you don't stick to them???

I don't smoke (I haven't for years now) so I cannot say I will stop smoking.

I do enjoy a few glasses of wine and or champagne so I won't say I will stop drinking

I won't say I shall lose weight as I have lost so much weight lately I am fed up getting on scales!

I'd like to say I won't see as many doctors I have seen in the last few months but is it reasonnable?

I would like to say I won't have such a fiery temperament about certain people's behaviour but I know it is unreasonnable to say that!

I want:
Our Daughter, my husband, dog and everyone I love to be healthy and happy.
Anything that removes stress and frustration from my life I WANT IT NOW! ;-)
I want Bhavishya to become a Swiss National within the next couple of months!
Teach Bhavishya to swimm.
I want to continue going with her to "Little Gym."
I would like to start teaching how to dive again (yes I am a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor).
I would like to dive in warm water & I would like to go back to Seychelles...I crave for "Nitrogen Narcosis" ;-)
I would like to go to Florida to see my family I miss so much.
I would like to go skiing and skining and improve my snow boarding and hope for heaps of powder snow.
I would like to have diner at Nobu in London with DH, Sunnil, Gitu, Tony, Heidi and others? (Great company and people who truely enjoy food!).
I'd love to catch up with a lot of my friends back in Switzerland (and elsewhere) and see them (Stina, Bettina, Anita, Geneviève etc.)
I would like to clean up all the weeds etc. in the gorge at the bottom of the garden and put some lighting.
I would like to start a vegetable garden (is it reasonnable with the traveling I would like to do?).
I'd like to get a little more organised especially in the admin area.
I would like Bhavishya to be accepted at the French school (L'Ecole Française) for the school year 2007/2008 if not then for the following year.

I feel so stupid saying all these things so I may add:

I WANT WORLD PEACE!

Happy 2007!!!

TO ALL WE WISH YOU A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

A TOUS NOUS SOUHAITONS UNE EXCELLENTE NOUVELLE ANNEE PLEINE D'AMOUR DE JOIE ET SANTE!
