Blogging for more than one year...

 
I cannot believe I am doing my blog entries here more than a year now.... I don't blog every day but I found out that I really like to share my thoughts and days and whatever .... even knowing that most of my entries are far from "exciting and intersting".....

LOL - today the doorbell rang at 08.30 - and my char came. I wondered if she would come back soon after last weeks experience---hehe. She was here the first time and did a very good job - did her work good and fast - I was really happy to finally found a char who has a feeling how and what to clean without I have to mention.... So she was here for 6 hours - we asked her to place her shoes and handbag in the guest bathroom because the dogs are well known for "loving" shoes and "destroy" them - so we are used to that and we don' t leave shoes where they can get them. Everything worked fine until l she opened the door of the guest bathroom to clean it - one second she didn't recognize Max snapped one of her shoes and went out into the garden.. I found him (no idea how long he "played" with this shoe) and took the shoe and did offend. What can I say? Shoe is destroyed and our char had to leave with one shoe looking very nice and one shoe she couldn't use the zipper anymore.... So no discussion I asked her about the price of the shoes and that we are going to refund the costs. But you all know this situation - once you find a nice and comfort shoe sometimes you cannot get another pair of the same.... So she looked a little concerned and told the has no idea but will look for the bill of the shoes if she still has it. So she went along and I though: OMG ...will she ever come back again? I didn't hear from her the whole week and this morning I sat at the breakfast table and thought: no she won't come back... But you know what???? Doorbell rang at 08.30 - she stood in front of the door - smiling - told me shoes have been an offer for only 19 euro - if she had told me she don't have the bill anymore and the shoes were about 100 euros- I would have given her the 100 euros for sure... So now I know that she isn't just fast and good in cleaning - she is a faithfully person.


My "norwegean girl and boy" are still here.....

....even outside the snow is almost gone - but knowing our weather here very well I am sure snow will be back again... and unless I am not sure about spring definately has arrived my norwegean couple is still in my living room.


As I was really busy yesterday I am totally motivated to go on with that - so there is another project I have to handle - moving my office - means moving from the one half of the house into the other..... steps down - walking through the living room - steps up....and back.....
And there is a lot to carry..... books books books - photos - boxes and and and..... But I really would love to have it done til the char comes tomorrow,,, I don't want to be in a blog when she is doing the cleaning.
But - the other thing is that it is going to be a lovely day outside and my thought is to do the first outside run this year - as I don't really like it to run on the treatmill......there I sweat like hell, light is fake, you don't see yourself moving - always the same picture (running in front of a mirror and notice that your face gets red and more red is not very motivating)

Today I got an invitation for annother blog to read and I have to say that I am totally "in it" - I love to read about others - what they are doing and finally find out about similar situations etc.... So my morning is filled with reading blogs - sometimes I have to be hard with myself  to find my way "back to work".....

I found a link where its easy to pint a book from your blog - I decided to to that with my "travel diary" but thought it would be a nice idea to do that with my blog here - about all the chitter chatter...... I tested it and it says the book will have more than 320 pages...... but then thinking : is it worth to print such chitter chatter???? Will cost about 60 Euros but hey - maybe when I am old and cannot use the computer anymore I am happy to read what touched me in my mid-40ies....LOL
