It's been almost a year....

Hello there!

Today the weather is not that great, and all the cats are inside, sleeping within 3 feet of me, while I am drooling behind the laptop. I was flipping on the television, looking for a nice background show, and came across Nigella. We have been without television for a while, but since we do, I think I have gained 10 pounds, just by watching cooking shows and gasping air....Nigella just made fake (no fry) donuts in 10 minutes, it's all I can do not to lick the screen!

I could show you the state of my kitchen, but just take my word for it. It was not awesome to start with, but half of it is standing in the living room and the other half is being demolished (heheheh, jee!). Not a lot of donut-making or cooking going on these days.

Talking about food: Meet (Fruit)Loops! A few weeks back we were called by the Poezenboot, to see if we had place in our home for another special needs kitty. This wobbly cat had been brought in with her mother. Apparently the mother had contracted a virus while carrying and this has affected the system that controls the balance of this adorable, loopy baby. Of course we had place in our home and heart. We still miss Minion like crazy, and would love helping this kittycat.

The garden is doing great! We have eaten the first tomatoes and many, maaaaaany more are growing outside. I have already collected pots to store all the sauce I'll be making and freezing at the end of the summer.

Our home is a bit of a disaster these days. The demolition has started and the orders have been placed for the new kitchen. Our fridge got here a week ago, veeeeeery nice. There is a lot to do, but it is very fullfiling to be working on our own home! As school is closed until September, there is more time to go at it, besides all the jobs I am holding at the moment to bring in some extra DIYcash.

School went really well, just today I got confirmation that I am accepted into the second year. Considering the fact that we have migrated north after some years living abroad, cancelled the world trip, new study, new job, moved around about 10 times, looked for and bought a house, all while still having fun together, I would call it a good year.
