Saturday 05.09.2009 Day 248

My new clothes

In the morning my husband was at the hairdresser. And then we had breakfast in a café!

After losing weight scarcely anything of my clothing still fit me. In the afternoon, whilst our elder son met up with his friend (the one who is now a member of the Regensburger Domspatzen), we went to town.

My husband bought me new jeans, shirts and shoes. This was very generous of him. Look at the size number of the jeans... yeah 40... twelve weeks ago I had worn still 44/46 and this was almost undersized. Isn´t this fantastic? Don´t know the sizes in England or Amerika but I think it must be between L and XXL

Hence I was bold today and bought these funky red boots! What do you think about?

Most of the day it was windy and rainy! We had 14°C degrees.

In the evening I was looking for a shelter in order to realize my plans next weekend. It was worth the effort - and after many calls it worked!!

Friday 04.09.2009 Day 247



Nothing special happened today! It was a regular working Friday, with bad and rainy weather! Nothing was worth to take a shot...

So I´ll show you a picture I made first on Saturday, after the postman was ringing. Isn´t this card cute?

It was hand made by Fabella and it is a special honour for me that I got it!! Thanks so much Sandra!

365/246

My elder son slept in until 8 am - that´s really rare! After the breakfast we had an appointment with his private Englisch tutor! School will start again in 2 weeks so he must be prepared for it.

Most of the day we had rain.

In the afternoon he met up with a friend from his old elementary school - the friend who is now a member of the Regensburger Domspatzen

The picture of today shows you my husband´s car that was hit by another car while parked - glad nothing more happened and nobody was injured - but anyway it is a real bother!

Causer was a 87 year old man... noticed nothing.... and was addressed by a noninvolved woman. Luck for us!! Then the man stopped and was waiting and asking which car it could be, but nobody knew. So he went to the police and they were the ones who did leave a note for my husband.

Note for Fab - the damage isn´t big enough for cancelling our plans -LOL- so don´t worry about it.

The plums cake I made yesterday

Today my elder son made a trip with the local vacation program to a high ropes course and afterwards into an open air pool.... it would have been too fresh for me... we had only 22°C degrees during the whole day. But for a real swimmer like my son...

In the evening he went into town for a walk with his father and for enjoying a sandwich at S*ub*ways whilst I was enjoying the quiet moments at home (after work) without guys!

Later we got a call. We have come to know that my husband´s brother will visit us for a weekend in a fortnight, with his new female partner in life.

This will become a busy weekend because at this Sunday my elder son is having his further soccer camp and on Monday afterwards he is leaving to a school trip for a week. Hope and pray, everything will turn out good! I´m not good in making spontaneous alterations of the original plan.

TRND PROJECT OO NULL NULL - NOT FOR PROJECT 365

Und ein weiteres Projekt von TRND hat begonnen das WC Frische-Siegel von 00 Null Null

Hygienischer, frischer und total einfach in der Anwendung. Bin gespannt!

TRND BRISE - NOT FOR 365 PROJECT

Am 20.08. hatte ich Euch erzählt, dass ich noch an einem weiteren Projekt von TRND teilnehmen darf - und zwar diesmal von Brise! Hier gab es einen innovatien Raumerfrischer zu testen.



Der Test läuft zwar noch einige Tage, jedoch wollte ich Euch heute schon einmal erzählen, dass auch hier der Duft "Relaxing Zen" super angenehm auf mich gewirkt hat. Ich bin etwas "empfindlich" was Düfte anbelangt oder kritisch - je nach dem, wie man es sehen mag - und wenige können mich überzeugen, von einigen wird mir sogar regelrecht schlecht.

Aber sowohl Relaxing Zen, als auch Fresh Cotton den meine Mittester bekommen haben - konnte bei mir Punkten!! Gerade richtig in der Intensität und vorallem nicht zu aufdringlich.

Das eigentlich besondere an dem neuen Brise Lufterfrischer ist, dass er nicht "rundumdieUhr" sprüht, sondern mit einem Sensor auf Bewegung reagiert und eben nur bei Bedarf einen Sprühstoß abgibt. Zusätzlich kann auch individuell noch ein zusätzlicher Sprühstoß per Druck abgegeben werden.

Wer also regelmäßig Raumdüfte oder Lufterfrischer nutzt, sollte mal das neue Brise testen, das m.E. aufgrund der innovativen Technik auch sehr sparsam im Verbrauch ist.

TRND CORAL - NOT FOR 365 PROJECT

Am 17.08. hatte ich Euch berichtet, dass ich bei Trnd an einem neuen Projekt Coral klein & kräftig teilnehme und Euch hier nach meinen ersten Wascherfahrungen wieder berichten werde.

Das Projekt neigt sich nun dem Ende und dank des Ferienlagers und auch den sonstigen Aktivitäten unserer Familie hatte ich mehr als genug Gelegenheit Coral klein & kräftig auszuprobieren.

Ich fand sowohl das Projekt, als auch das Produkt super - endlich keine schweren Kartons oder Flaschen mehr heimschleppen, die dann überall im Weg rumstehen. Klein, handlich und ergiebig. Was mir aber am aller besten gefällt ist der Duft von Coral klein & kräftig. Richtig angenehm frisch - man kann es schwer beschreiben, muss es selbst einmal gerochen haben. Leider hatte ich oft schon negative Dufterfahrungen in Richtung zu intensiv, zu künstlich etc. aber bei Coral war das überhaupt nicht der Fall - im Gegenteil es war echt ein super tolles Dufterlebnis und ich werde mir sicher noch öfter eine Flasche zulegen auch wenn mich der integrierte Flecklöser jetzt nicht so überzeugt.

Tuesday 01.09.2009 Day 244

My elder son relaxing and enjoying a mug of coffee on the balcony

Today was the last hot day for now. We had 31°C degrees in the end and it was quite sunny.

I was still busy with the laundry and as well today with the grocery shopping. In the afternoon I baked a plums cake just for the heck of it. Whilst my son was enjoying a relaxing moment, with a self-made mug of coffee (the coffee, not the mug LOL) and putting his feet up.

That´s my picture for today processed with actions by pioneer woman.

At 6 pm we met up with a good friend (remember I told you on day 238) to catch up the dinner in "our" Italian restaurant. It was like holiday - outside in the garden, with the balmy air and the lights there. We had a fantastic last summer evening.

After his swimming practice my son joined us for a pizza salami (I picked him up at the open air pool)

As a storm came on we said goodbye - 9:00 pm we had still 25°C degrees. Back home again, it began to rain and a thunderstorm was approaching.

Monday 31.08.2009 Day 243

Busy laundry day after the vacation camp of the boys


Early in the morning I had a doctors appointment with the children.

After this my elder son made a trip with the local vacation program "Canoeing on the Main" We had 28°C degrees today

As I were back home with my younger son - his grandmother called - asked if he has a good mind to come to her again, for some days!! He doesn't hang about and didn´t had to consider long....

So after 10 days of vacation camp, he stepped in for a one night sleeping in his own bed and packed his luggage again, for a new sleep over by his grandparents.... I think it´ll last for almost 2 weeks - when he´ll renounce of two parts of the local vacation program.

That´s my younger son; always in transit to his beloved grandparents - he is using every opportunity for being there.
