Hope you mean real sauna . I know that mostly when people from more south talk about sauna they mean a room that is heated barely to 50 degrees celsius. When a finn talks about a sauna he means that it is heated at least to 65 degrees and preferably around 80. BTW ever checked wikipedia's entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauna ? It seems to tell quite well about finnish sauna traditions.

It's almost impossible to find true saunas ici, so I didn't mean real saunas, only that thing that southerners call sauna

Oy, that's bad. Anyways, how was lunch? I quess you just came back from lunch. Mine was a disappointment. Didn't really have time to make anything at home so I ended up buying a TV-dinner from the grocery on the way work. Darn they are horrible. Reminds me of the fallout games "A television dinner. You're not sure, but it's definitely not edible. You're not quite sure if it ever was."

 

[Horacio]

Yes, I'd just come back from lunch. French omelette au fromage with French fries, like most Mondays here. I always take lunch at local restaurant, because I have an hour for lunch time, and I work at 20 minutes from my home, no time to go there.

Local restaurant is the typical (over here) enterprise restaurant. Mostly bland food (Sodexo) but not too expensive (some 5€).

I have the obligation of being on the premises of the hospital the whole worktime so I usually prepare lunch beforehand at home and heat it at the microwave in our cafeteria but I overslept today and hadn't the time to make lunch. Yeah, they have meals for sale in the cafeteria too but they are usually almost as horrid as the TV-dinner so I decided against that long time ago (You know, hospital-food).

 

[Horacio]

TV-dinner are usually pretty horrible, yes.

I often say to myself that I should cook something good the evening and take it to work. But I never find the time and the motivation to do it, so I eat at the restaurant...

I like cooking, but for others. cooking for oneself isn't very motivating to me...

 

[Blackrat]

Yeah, I too like cooking. I was actually thinking of studying to become a cook, but discarded it eventually. When something one enjoys becomes a work, it usually becomes boring too. So I rather cook for fun than for a job.

And now all this talk about food made me hungry again. Well at least I have a sturdy dinner waiting when I get home. GF promised to make something delisious.

 

[Horacio]

Awww, that's one of the good things about GFs...

When I go back home I take care of my daughter, helping her with homework, prepare dinner, put her in her bed... and then spend my evening watching TV, reading and surfing the net...

/horacio is tired of being single

 

[Blackrat]

I can imagine being a single-dad, you don't have much time even meeting ladies. A blessing and a curse at the same time to have a kid.

 

[Horacio]

The proble is not only meeting ladies, it's that most ladies doesn't want a complicated thing. Dating a single dad mean dating somebody who isn't free, who cannot get out to dnner or cinema anytime she wants, who passes his evenings at home while his daughter sleeps...

Dating a dad means being able to accept his daughter, and for the last two years I haven't find a young lady wanting to do that (and before that, the two times I tried, after several months, it didn't work and I finished alone again and with a new emotionnal scar ).

Sigh...

 

[Blackrat]

Yeah, pretty much the same as my brother put it. He was in the same situation. But he got lucky and met a nice single mom and now they moved together a few months ago. Don't drop hope. Maybe luck kicks in someday .
