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

365/235

10,9 kg less after 10 weeks with WW

It was a sunny, but windy day today, with about 22°C degrees. We made a bike ride of about 28 km and had lunch (a fresh green salad with mushrooms, Parmesan and pine nuts) in an Italian restaurant. There we also had a yummy café latte, sitting outside in the sunshine.

Glad my back doesn´t hurt too much after the bike ride.

The picture of today shows you a little artwork from my elder son. I "found" it whilst I tidied up his room.

Girls I´m now - off - for my trip to Stuttgart. I´ll be there until Tuesday for visiting the town of my childhood and for meeting my witness. She also was a dear co-worker of mine, for some years.

Yeah and on Thursday will be a special day for me.... but I still didn´t let out the secret

- bye-bye- CU Tuesday girls
