Work, sleep, work

I've been working like crazy. Yesterday I had a major project due at work and have spent many extra hours working the past month, and especially the past week (thus the blog silence), but the project was handed over yesterday and was, proud to say, well accepted and already in use today :) It is not done yet, since I need to make one more booklet for it, but our franchises can start selling! :)

In one of the rare moments of free time, I visited my parents the past weekend and snapped this photo:

That's a cherry tree blooming right there. In october!

The same day, it started snowing in other parts of the country and the temperatures dropped 20 degrees in half an hour!

It's been quite cold since, with morning temperatures of about 5°C. Time for ponchos, scarfs, soft knitted gloves, hot tea in the morning, roasted chestnuts and mulled wine. Also, after not eating chocolate for a whole summer (!) I've been eating it almost every day the past week, a bit due to temperatures, a bit to hard mental work and a bit to my PMS, surely :)

It's also hot soup season in wide spread and you'll be seeing many more lunchbox soups this autumn & winter :)

I'm full to the brim of ideas, both private and work-related, so much so, I can't find the time to realize them all and must make priorities. It's like I've been sleeping and now I'm awake. I'm sure my Corsica holidays helped, too.
