30/356: Playing The Violin

Couchsurfers make you do the darnest things. The guest I have at the moment is busking her way around europe. As it happens she plays the Violin and I have never touched one of those before. So she suggested I should do this for my new thing today.
I did and I felt all musical. But I have to admit, these hands are made for many things, making music is not one of them. It was awesome nonetheless and without having her visit me, this would probably not have ended as one of the things I do during this year. My thanks go out to her.

This is one of the reasons why I love couchsurfing; you just never know whats going to happen.


On a totally unrelated note, I just hit 10'000 page visits.
Thanks for taking an interest in my life!

28/356: Cooking For A Russian Couchsurfer

Yesterday I did two new things.
First I hosted a Russian couchsurfer for the first time.
I also used crème in my tomato sauce (for pasta) for the first time ever.

Both turned out to be good choices!  The food was good (obviously) and it was very interesting to talk to my Russian guest. I have never been to Russia or been in contact with many Russians in my life. Because of that I really enjoy getting to know more about that region of the world.

Today I aim for something new for lunch because I am not sure how much time I will have tonight.

Stick around!
