What to do on a two hour lunch break??

Another Monday has come around already! This week has flown by pretty quickly. I'm writing this on my 2 hour lunch break, as I'm not really sure what else to do with the time ... it took me about 20 mins to eat my dinner! Today I had to move my stuff back across to the villa after staying in the hotel for the weekend, as there is huge 70 people conference on all week and there will be someone using that room. STILL don't have the lock fixed, but I know they are working on it. I don't mind being in the villa so much now, especially since the nights are getting brighter and I don't have to stumble my way there in the dark after a long day's graft! The only problem is, I don't have an internet connection there, so I'm thinking of heading into town later this week to try and get one set up - since I got here, I've been using Les Pensieres' connection, but unfortunately it doesn't stretch wide enough to be picked up at the villa ...grr!

This morning has been pretty good, I've made up the weekly bouquets, (although my hands are now stained yellow from the pollen) written the menus for today's group's lunch, and throughout have been showing arriving guests to their rooms. Everything is going pretty well, and I feel quite a lot more settled in to the job. I've already learnt loads!

My weekend was good too; after a hectic full week last week, once again it was nice to have some time to myself to chill and relax and do some things in English! On Saturday I braved the buses for the first time - they are worse than Arriva, there is about one every hour or so but they are so erratic the timetable doesn't make any sense ... I waited at the bus stop for about 20 mins  before one eventually came along. I took it to the Gare Routiere, the station in Annecy, which has a huge shopping centre that somehow before I'd failed to notice, so I spent the afternoon wandering around there, it was nice to see some familiar shops! I got some groceries and a new bag, and also treated myself to a kettle for my room, so now I can drink all the herbal tea I like .... I'm easily pleased I know :) 

On Sunday I spent a day just lying around haha ... feels like I haven't done that in so long. I watched a movie, did some washing and Skyped, not very interesting haha.

I'm also counting down the days until I see my lovely Andreas, who is coming on Friday to stay with me for the weekend before moving on to Limoges for a couple of months. I can't wait! I plan to go to Geneva to meet him, that is if I can co-ordinate these buses okay, otherwise he may be left stranded for a while ....
