Two weeks :-(

Hi all… it is really unbelievable but the last post is dated August 1. So that’s another two weeks gone just like that. Time to get you updated:

Ellen has had her first full week of work. She really enjoys it. Of course she is pretty tired every night when she comes home. It is a new job in a new environment in a new country. But after this first week she is already starting to get a grip on the work. Since she has been asked to fill in for someone who is on holidays now (managing 5 projects). The biggest challenge here is not the 5 projects themselves, but the fact that the person going on holiday first had another contractor to hand over his work temporarily, but then after a few days this contractor did not come back. So Ellen had to take over while the colleague was already on holiday.

In the last two weeks Peter is contemplating (thinking about somewhere in the back of his mind ;-) to maybe start doing something more with photography. Not so much changing career at once, but besides working in his current field, also put a bit more time into photography (try to get it a bit from hobby into amateur level ;-). And then see if maybe opportunities will arise in time to change careers.

Yesterday we have been at Marina and Mikes wedding. It was a ‘home’ wedding. In Australia it is very usual to choose your own location (which can be anywhere, like simply at home). The marriage consultant will marry you where you want.

Today we have said goodbye to Eddy, Elly, Lieke and Imke. We have met them in Tilburg last year (they were also at a xpdite meeting). They have been living here since November, but have now decided to go back (for a couple of years at least). To a certain extend we have now experienced the same as what our friends and family in Holland must have experienced when we left…

This Wednesday our sofa (the red one) will be delivered. So another piece of our home will be added. Step by step the house is now turning into a perfect home ;-)

We have made some photos of the house, we expect to publish some of them in the next few days!
