London Olympics 2012

Thanks again for the wonderful hospitallity! We really had a great time and enjoyed spending time with you guys!

So I am formally laying out the invitation to come to London for the Olympics next summer!

We already have a couple tickets to a few events (4 to volleyball, 2 to beach volley ball and 2 to women's soccer) but I was wondering if anyone would mind looking at what is still available through the Luxembourg Olympic Committee. Each country gets a certain amount of tickets allocated so maybe Luxembourg still has something for the most popular events (swimming, gymnastics or athletics..)

Here is the link to the official ticket distributor but you need to reside in Luxembourg to order through them..

And, as you can see, Steph was recruted to fill the raviolis. I am the only lazy butt watching all this effort with admiration and delight!!!

Weekend in Luxembourg with Andrew and Steph

Steph and Andrew brought the sunshine in Luxembourg! And in the middle of the winter!!!
After their arrival, we went to the Christmas market for a very healthy meal : "Gromperen kichelcher". For the non luxembourgish, it is thick fried potatoes pancakes. Delicious when it is cold outside.

As you can see, the ladies were cold. Thank God, the pancakes were nice and hot.

Later, we had dinner at home with Jill and Steve. We cooked a very large seabass in the oven with the head and the tail. I can assure you that, with the help of a good wine, the ambiance was so nice. A lot of laughs, such a nice dinner together.



Today we will cook raviolis with ricotta and sage. Andrew is the assistant cook under the supervision of the master chef Déa. Steph and I will watch the chefs in action and obviously taste the results!

Tonight Jill and Steve have invited many friends for a Christmas drink in the Grund and we will join them.
