The last couple of days have been quite depressing, that is because of three different reasons: firstly, it's been raining every day, secondly in Austria everything isn't exactly running according to plan and thirdly, and most importantly now the time to say farewell (not goodbye, sry Andrea Bocelli) has come. Pieter "Mr. Fluffy-Kanelbullar" from Belgium left yesterday, as well as Ljuba from Russia. I'm not the best guy at doing this and therefore I felt pretty sad. The fact that two exams are coming up doesn't help my mood either.
One of the things that get my mind off those things is (and I think I've mentioned it before) cooking. Tried to make home-made pasta the other day and it worked out pretty good, ok, it isn't rocket-science. Just add a whole egg for every 100 g of durum wheat flour and bring it together to a dough. Let it rest for at least half an hour and then roll it out, so that you can regognize a newspaper's headlines under it. Nice thing, that.
Very rewarding I must say, the whole procedure takes about half an hour (whitout the resting time) and tastes way better than the stuff from the supermarket. Although I have to admit that I'm not sure what a genuine Italian mama would say about that.
Moreover, my good friend
Mimie came across the other day, to save me from everyday life :-) She made a stop here in Lund on her way back to her home Stockholm. I showed her a little around and afterwards we had a nice chat over a cup of coffee. Thanks for that!
Another thing that helps to set the mood is of course partying and that's precisely what we will do this evening. A huge farewell-party is coming up, therfore I have to get back at my books now, so more about that soon. A and for the record, haven't heard "Last Christmas" a single time yet and I feel very, very good about that :-)
