Moving

Sorry people, this blog is so slow going because I am busy with so much else. I am trying to pack up things into boxes, selling things, organizing a moving truck and ... ah you know what it all involves. Besides, its the European Championship right now and our computer (now a beamer hooked on to it) is being used by a certain family member watching every possible match. That means I have limited access to the internet to update my blog. In the meantime, check out our photos or just wait until September or so. Our lives should be routinised by then. In case you didn't know, we are moving back to Winnipeg, Canada. Yippeeeeh....

Finally! My first ticket...

I am NOT very proud of it but it's my FIRST ticket from the police. Almost 32 years old and never got a ticket. Since I don't have a drivers license yet, and if I would have I would be a terrible driver, there were not many chances to get fined I guess. Well, today it happened. I was cycling through the park very slowly, talking on my cell phone to my brother. I got to a roundabout and hung up. Got through the busy traffic without talking on the phone. Then, after two minutes my brother rang me again and we kept chatting away. And there they sneaked up on me. Blocked my way. I couldn't go anywhere. A women in uniform left the van and walks up to me. I had no clue, thought she had a question or something. The police officer asked me if I am aware of what I have done wrong. I said no. She said, well I could not just ride my bike and talk on the phone at the same time. I guess so... I had to pay 25 Euros! What? Furiously I paid my money and left. Oh, first I asked for a receipt. I was so annoyed and angry. I needed to tell somebody and called my brother back, not riding my bike. Oh well... I know better next time.
... I hope she noticed my helmet on my head, my well kept bicycle, and my lit lights even though it wasn't dark yet...I should have received a refund for that...

Finally! My own blog...

So, I have fought with the thought for a long time if I should start my own blog or not. Should I write it in German, English, or both (too much work)... what's the point... will people be interested... All the people that desperately wait for an email from me but gave up hopes because I am so lazy in writing emails or letters...Sorry. Well, here is my blog now. I will try to keep it as up to date as possible. I don't know how often you will be able to read an update but better than no update, right? If you are interested you can read it, if not, leave it. Have fun reading, looking at pictures, projects...and who knows... Susanne
