Nina is doing OK still. She had an eye infection for a while and sometimes her eyes would be stuck together in the mornings but we cured that with some cream. Dancing is still a favorite and she will bop to any rhymic noise. The other day she danced next to me for 5 minutes while I sawed some wood!
Sil is getting himself potty trained but sometimes is too lazy to run all the way to the toilet to find the pot. He has pissed in a baby bath of Nina's, a pull along trolley, a boot of his own and quite often in the dogs bowl.
The other day while Amber was leaving to go to her Papas he stood at the door naked, grabbed his willy and aimed it out of the door to piss alll over the bridge. Amber was laughing hard at this but he then ran indoors, grabbed Nina's pillow from her high chair and dried himself off with it. This was all too much for Amber and while she cried with laughed peed her pants.
Amber has been doing better at school. She was sent to another class away from another girl who she was always with and things improved immediatly not just with her school work but also her attitude towards us. Unfortunatly the other girl who had given up going to school after she was seperated to another class is back although Amber says she is much better now.
Francien hasnt been up to much exciting as far as I can remember. I might come back and change this if i can think of something later.
I've been getting things ready for the garden. Tomatoes are on the big window sill but will be going out to the roof this weekend because the weather is set to improve now.
I'm drinking a maple mead now. It doesnt taste much of maple, was expensive to make but very strong in alcohol. I have a dandelion mead and mint mead in first fermentation.
Finding a job has been much more difficult here than I anticipated. You can never get a direct phone number for an interview in the jobcenter. you can only leave your info with them and hope someone phones you.
Much of the work is through agencies who again are always pissing around. While explaining to the man in the jobcenter today that one of the cards for brickwork on the wall was an agency i had already signed with but they hadnt phoned me up I said;
"Ik snap het niet. Ik heb elf jaren verharing".
what I wanted to say was;
"I dont understand it. I have eleven years experience"
but Francien told me I said;
"I dont understand it. I have eleven years of hair loss"
I really dont know if he thought that had much to do with anything but we had a big laugh about it afterwards.
Must remember ervaring means experience. |

ROFL - well 11 year of hair loss would be true too wouldn't it? Maybe you'll get a call from one of those agencies who want people to test for a hair-growth formula.
Aidan had lots of problems with sticky eye. They said at one point he might need his tear duct probing or something because it was to do with that not draining properly but it resolved itself eventually.
At least Sil is peeing in things and not just all over the floor. We had about three potty's around the house when the boys were toilet training so that they didn't have to run far. | |
