 Good Morning,well, what do you say -it is Dec. 1st! Petra and I enjoyed Bach´s Christmas Oratory yesterday, together with a lit-up candle and a glass of wine - first time we felt a little at home in our flat. It is still all long way to go until we reach a state where we can say it is our home, but each day we come a little closer.The day we left our house was very hard on me. Watching the moving people taking out all our belongings was bad, but the worst came when the told me that our old 18th century book case could not be moved into the flat - too big. No way to take it apart without serious damage to it. I just sat down and started to cry like a child. Leaving it behind was that one drop that made the bucket overflow. We had bought it 7 years ago in a local antique furniture store. The next day I went there and asked the to take it back for little money - better than just leave it in the house for nothing! The bloke flatly refused to buy it back, but offered to trade it for two similar, but smaller book cases! He did not ask for any compensation - how can he make a living? The two book cases are worth more than the big one we traded in.The next days will see some tinkering around, like putting up lamps, curtains - and a lot of unpacking! The most commonly used phrase between Petra and me is "Where is.... " By Christmas we will have finished the move. Our son Christian will be visiting us for the holidays, so "his" room needs to be ready. Hopefully I will find some time to make plans for that extra space in the attic.... MRR time is coming!You all have a good day!
