A night out!

Salut,

Last night was our yearly Christmas party at ADT! The food was excellent and the company was very good too!! We left at around 21:30 as we needed to get back home so that our babysitter could hit the sack too. Thanks to our organizer for such a great evening!!

This morning, our saleman came to take the measurements for the mantle. He took a couple of pictures and within half an hour, he was gone again. Now, they will take 10 business days to build it and they should be back at the beginning of January to install it: their installation schedule is booked solid until then.

It was quite funny to watch Alexandre today. We gave him is first cookie (rice cookie, that is!). The first bite didn't go so well: he didn't seem sure what to make of the texture of it. But he only took a few seconds to figure out that it was quite all right and then, in a matter of minutes, it was all gone... Another baby step in his life that's going way, way too fast.

I've finished reading the following book:



Geez, to think that I thought all those years that this was the title of a Led Zeppelin track... Hmmm... To me, this is my greatest discovery since Mankell. Excellent development of characters while the complex storyline is very compelling. At 500 pages, it better be as this book makes for a long ride. This book is dark, leaving you at the end with a bunch of questions that remains not answered. But there's also many sub plots developing, making you forget the investigation. Would Ben Cooper find love? Why was Diane Fry forced to move from the city to a sleepy little country backwater? Who or what was the titular "Black Dog"? Overall, excellent debut for this british author, who reminds me of the early stuff from Peter Robinson, only better. Very good reading, indeed.

Cheers
