The office annual dinner happened just a week ago. Formal event. I didn’t go. Thewife was on night shift and so I was with theson at home making sure he’s fed, read to and tucked in to bed. The last office dinner I went to was 2 years ago. i rather be at home actually.

My friend thewanderer was “working” from germany during the WC week. He managed to get tickets for the France vs Portugal match. Sent over some pixs that he took. Quite interesting to see the atmosphere there. His office is in UK and he seems to be “living it up” traveling all over Europe on his weekends. i think his mother called it "wanderlust" and personally i agree with her 100%. Saw the last 2 matches on sat tv with thewife. Cant believe that WC is over. zidane headbutt was just classic.

Went to a friends wedding 2 weeks ago. The bride was a good friend of mine, and the brides sister used to be with thewanderer. Anyway, it was like the 1st wedding in years that we as a family have been to. Previously all other efforts were “sabotaged” by theson who was mostly sick or was on hunger strike etc. though, I must admit we were tired/lazy as well for a few that we skipped.
