Can you picture a better day to celebrate ??? 🙂
We celebrate anything we can and therefore all the Boarding Houses baked a pizza, in the shape of a smiley face, to express our unconditional love for one of the best meals one can have.
Albion and Ayam were the dedicated pizzaiolos and they did a great job… unfortunately for them, they had to share it when it came to eating it 😀
Happy World Pizza Day everyone
The topic of today was something we all have without even noticing. We all had a situation where a friend or an acquaintance trespasses, possibly without meaning it, the limits of our tolerance when it comes to a friendly relationship.
The reasons for this are plenty and these type of situations can shake the foundations of a good positive friendship. The good news is that when friendships are solid and real, all can be sorted with a frank and open conversation. We found out that communication and honesty are the keys to sort out this and other issues in a personal connection. And for as different and sensitive as we all might be, this becomes even more important so that the foundations of trust and understanding can be solidified and an unpleasant situation can become a source for improvement and better mutual respect.
Nobody really wanted to share any similar situations but we have surely been there in a moment or another and we can all relate to this as something familiar.
Diplomacy at a personal level… like on politics and international relations, it’s all about setting up clear expectations, stay true to your beliefs… and show some sense of forgiveness as well 🙂
This type of donuts are not sugary and are extremely healthy for the body and mind 🙂
And not only they are exciting but with the sunny weather make a perfect outing for a Sunday afternoon.
Albion took advantage of the cool place to read the news and stay updated with the latest stock markets
Parga was amazed with the view. Switzerland seems to amaze him

Very but really VERY focused, our Hamza 😀
We all have good and “not so good” friends… and in some ways we are exposed to positive and toxic friendships. We feel it, we see it but sometimes it’s hard to define them as they can take so many different shapes.
The topic of our Wellbeing period today as precisely on this matter and how to identify and react to those.
One very interesting comment was to ask an opinion of a third person, when we feel we can’t qualify some features on a “friendly” relationship. Indeed a more detached and independent perspective look can give us more insight into a situation where we might be emotionally involved and therefore see things under the umbrella of our personal feelings.
The video above shows us a few helpful tips to differentiate good from bad friends and it’s curious to see how often we can be exposed to those.
We also worked on an idea for a project which we will share later, once it’s completed 🙂
Among other choices, we could savour those Salmon burgers and a colorful vegetarian wrap tonight 🙂

After our lovely Christmas Dinner, the two Léman Houses got together for some after party time 🙂
Giggles, sweets, a Kahoot on Pop Culture and the Swiss tradition of the Escalade Marmite kept the boys in a good mood for the rest of the evening… surely with an important sugar intake 🙂
Kahoot is taken seriously by some
