"before" the plastic surgery and "after"

I bought a new programm to edit some of my photos - used it the first time today and think I have to get more used in it and have to be more careful but here are the first result....

Sunny but cold day...... funny how the mood changes when sun is out

I am in a good mood this morning - from today on I have a char who helps me with my big house - we've searched for sooo long and it itsn' t easy to find someone. My neighbour once told me that she has a very good help and asked if she wanted to work at my house too - she agreed and came one day to look what to do and to start the cleaning. She did very well - I was impressed how fast AND good she did her work and was happy to find someone who helps me. We talked about  the next appointment and she told me that she is very busy right now but could help me the week before christmas. I agreed and was happy to know that before my family and friends arrive I get help. The day she should come she sent a sms to tell me she is busy and can't come - she would come next week before new years eve - I was a little disappointed but said okay...
The next week she sent a sms and told me she cannot make it - she would come the next week and I should call her what day and what time. I decided not to give her a second chance because of two cancellations in a row. For me it doesn't make sense - I cannot count on someone who is like that. Next time maybe she will be here but then??? So I told her I am no longer interested in her.

Achim chatted with a colleauge of him these days about that and his colleauge told him that they have a char who is living close to us. He asked her if she wanted some more work and she immediately agreed. Last week she came to introduce herself and right now she is cleaning the upper floor and - what a feeling for me - NOW I HAVE A LOT MORE TIME FOR MYSELF AND FOR BLOGGING AND PHOTOGRAPHING AND WHATEVER I WANT TO DO!!!!!
So fingers crossed she comes back next week - but I am sure she will - its close to her home - she is busy for 8 hours and I will drive her back to her home in the late afternoon.....

Now off to blog on my "travel diary" - I am really excited about this project and cannot wait to get it finished (even I started just a few days ago) and get the printed book.....
