Hi Nils

Welcome to a new reader :D Nils from work wanted to know my blog address, so here we go.

Been a very busy week, Bina was over and cleaned the life out of what I considered a fairly tidy flat. But more important she had a job interview at NHTV. We're hoping she gets tha job as it would really make things much easier for us if she was working for the same company. but either way she's coming over to the Netherlands and we are going to be a family again....Fantastic, scary, exciting, worrying, amazing, stressful all at the same time but can't wait for us all to be together again.

Though of course...the luuurve shack won't be quite big enoug for 3 of us. So we'll have to make use of it as a stepping stone while we find a bigger place to live.

We also have to consider schools, Jodie is nearly 14 so we can't just put her in a standard Dutch speaking school so we have to find a suitable international school. We looked at 2 this week and were fairly impressed but we'll let Jodie get involved in that choice.

Also had my medical follow up following my hospital stay, nothing to report I got a clean bill of health and some new pain killers.

I'm back in the UK for a week, got lots of project work to do and also need to finish up my marking so its not really that much of a spring break.

Missing Carnival in Breda, but saw lots of Pirates, several popes quite a few lions and more than a few nuns...with beards... Everyone was heading off to parties and no one seemed to bat an eyelid at the strange costumes. We'll get the benefit of it next year.
