May 2012 sees me settling in well in Geneva and working for a client in a lovely office with a view of the mountains…it could be worse! I seem to have escaped the torrential rain and storms in England and have had the chance to get out around the Old Town with my camera…a combination of the period buildings, the narrow streets and the fabulous light means there is no shortage of subjects! Above and below are two of my favourites.
Reading back over my aims for 2012, one of them was to visit other European cities. After a busy start to the year at work and lots of partying and socialising with long-neglected friends, I recently got news that I’m being sent on secondment to a client’s offices in…Geneva!
Having spent two years studying at the International School of Geneva, and many many trips back to see my family (who were living in Switzerland until mid-2011) I know the city and surrounding areas very well. However, I know them as my 18-20 year old self knew them and I’m really looking forward to exploring Geneva and Switzerland with a fresh pair of eyes and a new perspective, plus a great opportunity to meet new people. I’m taking my car over so there are so many opportunities for exploring, plus I can escape at the weekends to the chalet…very exciting!
It does mean I miss the Jubilee celebrations and Olympics ‘drama’ but given the crush and general chaos expected on London transport (and that I’d only be watching the Olympics on TV anyway), I don’t think I’ll miss out too much!
So another year has arrived and inspired by various other blog posts on happiness, I’ve decided to make a list of things to do/see/achieve/avoid this year, in the vain hope of being encouraged to achieve them because they’re written down! Note I don’t like the idea of New Year ‘resolutions’ so will avoid such word from hereon in. Think of this as my ‘Happiness Project‘, as most of these unashamedly focus on me!
