Loads happening.....

Yes indeed there are loads of things keeping me busy these days.

First Sara is back home for a visit. She came Tuesday evening and will stay until Saturday. She was missing us too much (NOT!) No, she had to finish off her last 4 days at her job over here. She will go back to Aarhus on Saturday and has some interviews lined up for next week. Hopefully something will come of them. Meanwhile she has signed up with an agency who will ring her when a business needs a temp for a day or two, so she could working in a shop, restaurant, hotel, kinder garden....and the list could go on!


She loves her new apartment and loves the city. There is also an other attraction over there, his name is Christian. They have been seeing each other for a few months now. He seems like a really great fella,so lets see what the future holds for them....

Yesterday Sara rang me around 2pm and asked where I was. She then went on to tell me that our neighbour`s daughter was up at our place with her friend who had closed her wee finger on the bathroom door, part of the finger was off!!! Yuk!!!!!

I had to smile though when she said, "Mum you have got to get home and take her to the hospital, we need an adult here!"  (Sara you are now an adult!! haha) Anyway Sara did a great job with the two girls. (They are 13 years old.) An ambulance came and took them to the hospital. Sara spent the afternoon there till their parents turned up. 



I,meanwhile, spent yesterday afternoon at the house. I went straight there from work. The man came to put down the carpet in Leah´s room. So Leah´s room is nearly ready for things to be moved in. I only need to clean the windows and wash the inside of the wardrobe. 



While the man was putting the carpet down I decided to try and take the tiles of the kitchen wall. It was actually really easy. They came off with no problem. Kristian came by after work and I was hoping we could get more things done but  unfortunately he was feeling rotten. He had a sore throat and was aching all over. So we went home. Bit of a set back but we will not panic! at least not yet!!

He is still filling rotten today so he is lying here on the sofa feeling sorry for himself and annoyed because he is "burning daylight" when he could be at the house organizing things!

Leah is also sick, so she has been at home today with Kristian. Her throat is also sore and her body is aching too. (Great!!)

Andrew had his first driving lesson today! He started a few weeks ago attending classes for his driving licence. They have spent the first few weeks going through the theory. His theory classes continue every Tuesday. He also had his compulsory First Aid class a few weeks back. Now it´s the practical part, the fun part - getting out and driving. Today was his first lesson and he will continue to have the practical lessons every Thursday.  He is loving it. It´s great that he is doing this now.

Ok I better get off here. Our friend Jeff (from the Emerald Isle) is arriving tonight and staying with us until Wednesday. I have a bedroom to get sorted out for him so I really better stop all this blogging.
