Update

We're all a bit out of our minds these days. What with the wedding of the year coming up this weekend and still a million things to do, and work, and well, you know, some free time maybe, I find myself wishing this week would be over with already and we could all just go back to normal and rest a bit.

The past weekend I drove about 400 km, first visiting my parents, cousins, grandmother and brother (in this order), just because I haven't seen them in the longest time, then driving back home to pick up my bf, and together we drove to his hometown where he was to have a birthday party in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere. No need to say, just as we were walking to the cabin the largest rainfall in the whole summer so we got pretty soaked. And then party and loud music and little food for me as I was the only vegetarian there. I got two shots of port wine and half a beer and was drunk already. So, no sleep either. The next day visiting my "in-laws" where his mom made me the best lunch ever! So much fresh garden produce! Bean salad, tomato salad, corn salad (no relation to actual corn), porcini mushrooms, baked potatoes, grilled red bell pepper & garlic and some really yummi walnuts burgers (which I will absolutely need to try making myself)! We had a lovely picnic in the garden, just enjoying the milder temperatures again.

When we returned home we were beaten and went to bed early to regenerate. It's work again, but at least we settled a holiday term now so I'm actually gonna have a break, though not so soon (a month to go!). What with the upcoming wedding, birthdays we need to attend and so on I hope I manage to wait until then and not burn out. Still need to pick a destination, though.

One more exciting event this upcoming weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it. There's a vegetarian festival held in Italy on Sunday, and even though is right after the wedding and all, I'm planning to attend and have even reserved me a veg bag! But, after seeing Chef Amber's bag from the Vida Vegan Blogger Conference, I cannot help but being jealous! But let's be surprised, shall we.

Day 189.
