Spent 2 days in an hospital there but I'm now safely back to France.

I'm supposed to see a capitalist doctor this morning as I don't trust the diagnosis of those bolchevics there.

What's a capitalist doctor?

I'm sorry you got sick and had to lose a lot on your trip but hope it all comes around now that you're home.

On another note, never trust MGM's food suggestions...

I didn't even get a chance to go there.

It's a doctor that embraces capitalism and free world as opposed to a doctor who strangles children and worships Josef Stalline.

Well, I did get to spend the weekend visiting Prague. Come to think of it, the only part of my trip that I missed is the business one so it's not so bad.

...

Junkogen? Is that you?

I'm glad you're feeling better but its so lame of you to fall ill on an all expense paid trip. I hope you don't plan on getting sick come October.

Well I'm gald you at least got to visit and yea, major plus on only missing the business part. Do you have an idea on where you ate or what you ate that hit you so hard?

Malorie and I made an offer to buy a 2 bedroom flat. It's 70 mÂ², with a 5mÂ² balcony/loggia. 5mn away from Lyon's main train station.
We put € 195,000 on the table and have a appointment with a mortgage broker on Tuesday to see if we can get the money. If not, no big deal, we can just withdraw our offer.
One more step towards adulthood. The world of grown-ups is slowly swallowing me.

Sounds sweet, with a spare bedroom for guests from Amsterdam.

You'll have to share it with the comics though!

I can't think of better company!

I'm sure Natasha will be glad to hear that.

I'm sure she agrees!

Ian Rankin canceled his appearance at the Lyon Crime/Noir Festival. I'm bummed.

Also, that new contract we won that I mentioned earlier? Well it's started and it's a fucking nightmare. Lot more calls than expected, unefficient workers, client already threatening to withdraw the contract.

I've had better days.

So as I said before, Malorie and I are buying an appartment. We'll get the keys on June 29th and move in the following weekend.
Yesterday we went to the solicitor's office for some paperwork and the guy made this very long speech which basically said "Now you're buying a place, if you're not married and something happens to either of you, the remaining one will be screwed by inheritance taxes and stuff like that".

So I guess we're getting married. Though neither of us had planned this at all.

And work is still a complete mess.

Who said romance is dead

You're such a romantic.

Can't you fix all that stuff without getting married? That's possible in Holland. What about getting it all written up in your will?

Also, 1.5 kids, a Volvo and a labrador!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa. You shouldn't surrender to marriage that easily... wait, you're French, nevermind.

Conrgats! Will there be a wedding? Are you excited, can we come?

Congratulations!

I'll be sure to get out my best grown up clothes and not make funny faces or run around during all the pictures!!

A will won't be enough if anything happens to either of us once we've bought the appartment.
It's mostly the inheritance taxes that will kill the remaining one so getting married is the best way to avoid that (makes inheritance taxes the lowest possible).

Yeah, I'm a romantic alright
