Pollution in Guiyang, China and a meeting

That's it: my Mann is leaving tomorrow morning for China ( Guiyang) and it's the first time I see him in such a state before a trip or an international meeting: He does not want to go! Why? It has something to do with the air and water pollution of the place: it's so bad that all the people he knows... Sign in to see full entry.

The scent of you...

As you saw in my last entry, yes Freeman is still around and well. As for my trip to Australia it is going to be 2 months long! I can't wait to smell the Australian air again! Those who have ever been to Australia know what I mean about the Australian smell: there's nothing like it. It is probably... Sign in to see full entry.

Freeman News!

I was finally there when he came this afternoon, saying that he'd miss me and it sure would be nice to have a woman like me around the house! He also noticed the works that we have done around the yards, the flower beds and the trees (they were trimmed of their dead branches so as to make the land... Sign in to see full entry.

The Neckar Valley in Germany

That's it: I finally started the web-pages about the beautiful place where I lived for more than year in Germany. It's a little known area of Europe call the Neckar Valley and it is simply magnificent. I hope to be able to express the beauty of the place and the charm of its many towns and villages....

Procrastination, in an Imax theatre near you...one day

Procrastination...That's the second name of Son! We, my Mann and I, had it all planed: I take the day off, he finishes early, comes to pick me up, go to pick up Son at school and drive to the theatre just on time for the show. But Son happens. I'll do it mom, he said. Don't worry, he said. I'd... Sign in to see full entry.

To leave or not to leave...there is NO question about it! LOL

I will have to tell them sooner than later... I've been thinking about taking my leave from the public service for a while now. And since we bought our tickets for Australia I have been counting the days.... I thought at first that I should have decided to continue til the end of my contract in... Sign in to see full entry.

Like back in Spain!

We've been hard working today! The three of us, digging, moving bricks, placing bricks, more digging... After all these many years looking at the path coming towards the front porch getting more and more overgrowned with dandelions, and weeds and grass, I finally decided to start digging them out...

How to get... paid...

We won! Well...kind of. The judge agreed with us that the "rentee" should pay for the difference between what we obtained in rental and what we should have earned. But, it did not agree with us about them having to pay for the extra-publicity we had to pay for. So, they'll have to pay only the... Sign in to see full entry.

Court day..NO courting today!

My Mann and I are going to court today. We are protesting against some people who were supposed to rent our house in 2007 and back off 2 weeks AFTER signing the contract! Which made us look for others to rent it in a hurry and lower our price as the season for renting was well under way! And the... Sign in to see full entry.

You're dead: I hit you!

The laser quest was a hit! Boys and girls had a lot of fun! The "stacker" hit the "dominator" many many times and finished 4th place twice in row, while the "the Kaiser" finished first once and second the second time around, leaving first place to "Pew-pew"! Of course, I'm talking about Son's... Sign in to see full entry.
