After a week of puzzling and thinking I know how my study should look like. So now I am building it up. I am so content with all the work we have managed to get done today. Despite the ride to Lorca, we made as well; the printer had no more paper and the cartridges … Read more
The house is ours as of yesterday and already the truck arrived with our stuff. Aren’t we the lucky ones? We didn’t like the house we had rented this month but the main advantage of that fact was that because of that we decided to go to the Netherlands to arrange for our move before … Read more
