Victory!!!

Last night, I tasted victory over my arch Monopoly rival in the house. It's always good to have some healthy competition in a relationship but this was very sweet!! Having placed three hotels on the three most expensive streets on the board, it was just a matter of waiting until the already cash-strapped Tina landed on one, which she did quite quickly. Offers of an immediate rematch were rejected by me but it is sure to come in the next few days. Until then I will bask in my temporary glory. Tina, thanks for a great evening and get well soon. xxxx

Christmas is coming!

Today, we bought our first real Christmas tree and decorated it! For the first time, we have enough space to have quite a big one. At the same time, we listened to Christmas music and drank Glühwein. That was fun!!!

New Arrivals

 

On our trip to Tina's hometown at the weekend, everyone was interested in the new arrivals in the family ( and some even got to feed them !!)

Happy 21st

Happy Birthday to my daughter, Kerri who turned 21 on the 29th.

Following the Rain.........

....... came a crop of mushrooms in the front garden. They seemed to spring out of nowhere and cover the grass like a carpet!

Red Sky at Night...........

I was lucky enough to be on the balcony to witness a spetacular sunset and orange sky. It was a perfect sight after two days of grey, wet weather.

Look out for us!!!!

Last week, we decided to deck the Smart with our company colours. As you can see from the pictures, it is a real eye-catcher and an object of interest when we drive in it. On Friday, while I was waiting for Tina, I had two prospective customers enquire about our services. It's a very effective marketing technique and one that will be seen often around Frankfurt and Wiesbaden.

 

 

2012

This weekend we will go to the cinema and watch the end of the world happening before our eyes!! I haven't been so excited about seeing a film for a long time! Let's hope it's only a fantasy!!

Amazement as always!!

Respect and congratulations to Tina, who continues to amaze me with the way her new business is building up. Constant new work and great feedback makes it clear that becoming self employed was exactly the right decision.

Kati is here!!

At the moment, our good friend Kati is visiting us from Berlin. Kati and Tina studied together at university and remain close. We took her into Wiesbaden to see the city and explored the shops (mostly shoe shops :-) ) It was great to have her here and we will make a return visit to Berlin in a few weeks.
