Monday 23.08.2010 Day 235

New coffee maker

My younger son was in the zoo with the local vacation programm.

Sorry for the bad and rainy weather. From time to time with heavy downpours.

In the morning my elder son had an appointment with the dentist and in the afternoon he visited his grandparents - he haven´t seen them since some weeks.

Whilst he visited them, my husband and I drove to Ik*ea, for some shelves for our garage.




Sunday 22.08.2010 Day 234

No picture for today!

Get miffed about the construction area at 5 am and about children who don´t keep the proprieties at 7 am .... Welcome holiday Sunday .... I´m so mad about it ....

After breakfast we made a little bike ride before we picked up my younger son. The nine days christian camp is over now. He had much fun, but he´s really tired and his voice is nearly gone.

So first we snuggled a little bit on the couch before we went out, for having dinner in our favorite Chinese restaurant.

Today we had another day with beautiful weather til the evening... there was a really heavy thunderstorm at 8 pm.




Saturday 21.08.2010 Day 233

Open air hair cut

Happy birthday my dear friend Fabella wish you all the best and hope we´ll see us soon again. Stay the way you are. Have a nice day and enjoy all your gifts and good wishes.

Also Happy birthday and the same good wishes to JanMary

Wow sunny day today... unexpected after many days of rain.

We had breakfast outside in a little café.

Then we bought a new coffee maker! A big dream of my husband came true. He got a genuine coffee maker .... mmmh this coffee taste really really delicious.

Later we had lunch in a restaurant. My elder son had ostrich steak.

In the late afternoon I cut him his hair, outside in the garden. Only for the picture my husband took the razor over.




Friday 20.08.2010 Day 232

Broken coffee maker

Panic in the night at 3 am - It sounded as we had a geyser in our kitchen. I feared a water hose of the dishwasher might be broken. Thanks God it wasn´t .... What was it? That was not better either Thanks God I become awake ... because our coffee maker was the geyser of the night..... white smoke and the coffee maker ...sprayed the powder of the pads through the whole kitchen....

Immediately I pulled the plug and went back to my bed with heart throb.
At almost 6 am I was still but I had to clean out the kitchen, before I went for a workday until 8 pm....

After cleaning the kitchen, I decided to went to the bakery - first - for a good glass of latté macchiato. That was really required. Then I was ready for working until 8 pm

In the afternoon my husband picked up our elder son for a two weeks holiday at home.

The sunset after work compensated for the shock in the night.

Mailbox

Had a day off from work... I used up my overtime hours and went to the post office.

A friend of mine has birthday on Saturday so I brought her parcel on its way

365/229 + 365/230

Tuesday 18.08.2009 Day 230



In the morning I had an appointment at the eye doctor and after that at my handsome physiotherapist. Between them, I take a break and sat on a bench for reading a crime book in the sun. Wonderful.

As you can see... a dream came true for my elder son. Yesterday his Dad bought him a BMX-bike (not new, but pre-owned).

We were in a bike shop last Saturday to inform us, and had luck that there was a pre-owned bike up for sale. So we got it for less than half of the original price. It´s like new, almost unused.

So my son could take part in a BMX-course what was started today.

I think he´ll prefer the BMX-bike to the skateboard because he´ll get there faster the results... LOL

Today we had perfect summer weather, clear blue sky and about 28° C degrees (82,4 F).

My younger son, our little helper, was working in the garden with Dad. He had so much fun cutting the bushes and all the other required jobs.

CU tomorrow.



Monday 17.08.2009 Day 229



This is a picture from Day 230 I use for Day 229. It shows my younger son with one of our own plums. Sadly every plum is having a worm.

Today, my younger son made a trip with the local youth work to a senses parc - that is quite fantastic. He was the whole day on its way. My elder one didn´t want to...

Because... but this is a story I´ll tell you tomorrow first.

We had lunch at Joey´s . My son and his Dad ate a Pizza and I had a Nice Salad, what was delicious!

It was sunny and hot today with about 30°C degrees (86 F), unfortunately sticky, too. So in the evening we had a short thunderstorm but not much rain.

Today was my last pilates evening. But the next course started in September - and I signed in - yeah!!
