Another month went by ...

Well, almost another month; time flies when you're having fun. Time also flies when you're busy :-) Even without a job, I don't have much 'spare' time. I spend a lot of time putting things in the proper places, moving them from one room to the next to yet another place. I have to admit that I also spend about half an hour every day exercising, mostly roller blading these days, sometimes bicycling. Wardrobes in the guest room are in place (and full already) and I've started moving boxes to the attic. Fortunately, I finally had some inspiration as to how to decorate some of the rooms, so we can start painting and buying curtains etc. The living room is still a question mark with regard to decorating, but I cannot really make any decisions about that until the dining room furniture has arrived and the kitchen is finished! Indeed, the kitchen is STILL NOT FINISHED! That's all I'm going to say about that topic here, otherwise my blog may be shut down due to improper language ....
The raw materials

Under construction

Pieter, has been busy as well; he is putting a shed/garage/cabin in our backyard, all by himself. Even though it's kind of a LEGO construction package cabin, it's still a lot of hard work, mainly because many of the planks are bent or rotated. I'm very proud of my hubbie! I'm also very happy, because one of the main reasons for building the cabin, is for my motorcycle! After seven years, my Honda XLV600 Transalp is finally coming home! In what condition, I don't know, because it's been 'in storage' for the whole period. Next week, my brother-in-law is bringing the bike to Veldhoven, where a local dealer will get it up and running. If all goes well, I should be able to ride it again in two weeks time.

Still under construction

Emma and Janne have resumed their swimming class. They're both making nice progress and even got their first dolphin part two weeks ago. Each dolphin part represents a certain skill, e.g. swimming with their head under/in the water or swimming without arm floats. When they earned all the dolphin parts, they will start practicing for their first certificate. It's really a nice way to keep the kids motivated and Emma and Janne try very hard to earn their second dolphin part. I hope they will have their A certificate by summer next year.
