Greetings from a cottage holiday! :) The weather was warm and sunny, so I was able to go to the sauna and swim in a lake every day. Water was cold, but it always is. I noticed how much I love being in the lake. On a downside, I got tree resin on my hair, and no idea how to get it off. Hopefully before I go back to work.

When I came back home, the balcony renovation had moved on into my own balcony. The noise is pretty bad. I'm considering a day at the mall. I'm also quite sure I can't work here next week, so I should consider whteher I'll ask for permission to go back to the office a week early, or find somewhere else to work (relative's house or something). The problem with both of these is that my boss is on holiday, and I have to inform someone if I change my location, so who might it be? <_<
 
I don't know if this is a thing outside of Germany, but here we have restaurants that are completely dark and you can't see a thing and it's supposed to be an experience for the senses. Anyway, adventurous me orders the surprise menu there, which turns out to just be pork filet with green beans and I had no idea of the size of it so I somehow end up with the whole thing in my mouth and chewing on it for about ten minutes. Sensual experience, my arse.

They have those here too. Half the people I know who have gone tell me it's "incredible" and "blind people must love eating so much". The other half told me "huge waste of time and money".

It's based on the myth that loss of a sense enhances the others, so let's just say I'm not going to one.

I'm a civil servant, and unfortunately nothing is ever as simple for us. :bigsmile: My boss has a list of 5 substitutes, each for about a week or so, and then she mentioned she has different tasks divided to different persons, at which point I gave up. (She sent this info on an email before her holidays.) We are allowed to work single days in other locations without permission, so maybe I'll do that. And they only drilled in the morning, so maybe just tolerate it and stay here.

Experiencing the complete loss of sight is an interesting one, because it's not the way you would imagine it. But the food is no special sensual experience.
 
I've only even heard of these places because one was featured in the film "About Time". My initial reaction was :wtf:

I didn't know about the blind waiters though.
