A tin of cookies

Last week me and Clottilde got baking!!  Cooking in other people's kitchens doesn't ever feel quite right.  It's no wonder that chefs are shouting at their staff all the time.  I would be too if a load of randoms came into my kitchen and started cooking things wrong and making a mess.  Anyway, Aurelie got some food that I requested so I could cook and bake.  Me and Clottilde ended up making a shed load of sugar cookies.  I have preceded to eat ALL the cookies throughout the week though...oops!  Feels good to be cooking again.  A side message to Helen (my sister in-law) I made my bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with spring onions and cream cheese (herb version, yes I upgraded from the dairy lea triangles!).  I gave them back some faith in the English nations ability to cook!

It was General Conference this weekend!  I was pretty much loving it!  I picked up Caitlin and Liz, they directed me as I am useless to Geneva chapel.  We went to a little YSA much and mingle before the afternoon session of conference first, where I drank about 5 glasses of water because the sun was beating down on me!  However when we went inside to get seats I was presented with a variety of choices to place myself.

 I don't think so........

I would cry if I were made to go in there.........

Woohoo...........

Front row seats for the righteous (almost).........

After Conference at the chapel it was back to mine with the girls for a conference session our way.  We got cosy in our pj's, sat on the bed, chatted and ate pasta and cookies while watching the evening session.

Yummy yummy for our tummy's........

 Caitlin sampling the Oreo cookie cookies.....

According to Liz this is a Mormon's version of a pint, I think I have to agree...... 

Pull your face..............

My conference weekend lasted till Tuesday.  I decided I might as well watch all the sessions, but had slooooooow internet, plus I was loving it anyway.  Can't wait for another dose in 6 months!  I the mean time institute starts this week.  I'm hoping to make it there with Caitlin tomorrow night.  I've been given the all clear to go, just lacing a car right now.

I had free time for a change after class on Monday so me and Liz took a little drive in her car.  We were aiming for the shopping center, but got bit lost.  We ended up stopping in a beautiful village to do some exploring!

Welcome to the town of Thoiry.......

Found myself.........

Another monument in another town and I still haven't found out the full story behind them.....

The views here are pretty cool it has to be said (again).......

I am hoping to fully explore Geneva soon, and visit Mont Blanc if I can.  For know though I will settle for my little wanderings around local places.  I have a killer sore through going on right now though!  How that can happen in this heat is beyond my understanding, tomorrow I shall be wearing a scarf no matter what the weather is!  I am going to settle down with some warm milk and honey now...yes I do feel 5, but it's oh so gooood!  

Tell you about some more adventures soon!
