Confusion and wine!

Today I have enjoyed the "wein messe" in Basel. It's a dream! You walk around, everywhere you go there's people offering you great wines! There were wines from all over the globe! Some great ones and some.... Well yeah... I met up with some friends around 4 pm and we stayed until they closed at 7 pm. After some tasting I got quite light and happy, and we all agreed to order some wine. Hm... I am counting my orders now. I don't have to buy more wine this year with that generous amount! Well, it is an interest... But to be honest, I don't have more space! At the last place we ordered I got one wine as a gift (beautiful Swedish girl etc etc...) and that took up the last space in my wine drawer. Well, I'll figure something out 😉

The rest of the weekend was also great! Apero Friday at some friends and birthday/luxury dinner Saturday! It was great to see all friends again after almost two whole weeks spent in Sweden (or at a plane flying back and forth) wow, it's been an intense period of time. 

The feeling of getting back to Sweden is always a bit strange, it's Luke my Vasel life is fading slowly and I'm just taking up my "old" life. But when I go back to Basel it's as natural but I need some minutes of adjustment and the Swedish life is not fading as much. Funny...

Well, it was a great and inspiring time back "home" but I'm glad to be back in Basel. Look forward to go to work by bike tomorrow morning. And today we even got one more hour from changing to wintertime!! OMG, was I confused this morning?!? My iPhone was automatically adjusted, but of course not the rest of the clocks! And since I had no idea of the time change when I woke up I didn't think of it until it became time to meet all friends for the wein messe. I all of the sudden saw that I had only 5 min until I was supposed to meet up with everyone!  And I couldn't understand how the time could just have gone so fast... Took me sw time to realise what it was! 

Well, now I will go to sleep and enjoy the extra hour tomorrow morning! 

Moments of brilliance!

I'm proud to state that so far I have gone by bike to work every day of this week. And the fantastic thing is that I have made it to meetings starting already at 8.30!! Wow.... That's almost not human! I mean, for me that's just too early nowadays! 

Today I have had my first meeting with my wine club. Finally I'm gonna learn more about wine so that I can show off whenever there's an opportunity! Yey 😁 

We tasted wines from the US, didn't know so much before but with some splendid education from the host I have now come one step further on the way!

Yesterday I was out on adventures, biking home from work and taking a detour to one of the Basel wine shops. I was aiming for a bottle from New Zealand, a really cool one. I actually bought the bottle Saturday... But then I accidentally dropped it on the floor... In another wine shop. It broke. It smelled fantastic, we all agreed to that. Including the poor guy that had to clean up after me. Now it's in my keeping. For how long is hard to say... But a few days more at least!! ;)
