We have moved into the permanent apartment and it is nice to have our own stuff again. Of course we didn't know what is going to be there when we sent our things away from England, so now we have ended up buying a new TV after we had all this trouble getting rid of 2 old ones! Well we have joined the LCD-age now and Beatrice hardly moves from the sofa. I am seriously thinking about bringing it back. Well she has another 12 days until school starts.The boys are well in their routine already - uniform, bags, bus, kiss and off they go! We have nearly 5 hours of peace and quiet and can do our own thing with B. I hope they will be happy in school, no big moaning so far. Raoul has said he doesn't want to go but that was to expect. They did remarkably better this time - I only took them there 4 days, stayed 2 and from this week on they have been going alone. Unfortunately for me the school holidays of the boys and Beatrice will not overlap at all this summer. The boys will be off whole June and back from July, Beatrice is at school until end of June and then off. The aotomn looks a bit better. I will try to arrange some alternative childcare for the boys I guess. Otherwise won't get anywhere.Seung - we have found an old friend from Okpo / Korea, who lives here now. A korean girl who was like a sister to me back then! And Beatrice made some new friends yesterday at the pool - 10 year old twin girls and their 14 year old brother from Seoul who all go to her school as well. They have only been here 2 months and don't speak a lot of English yet. Beatrice seems to attract non-speakers because the same thing happened at the temp. apartment - she made friends with a little girl who didn't speak much English and I was quite surprised as everyone else does until we found out that she is actually from Vietnam and has been here only a few months.A very embarrassing story happened to me today - we went grocery shopping with Beatrice and when I tryed to pay the machine didn't accept my credit card, so went to try ATM - same story. And I only had a few dollars of cash on me. Well the girl called the manager and he actually let me have the stuff as long as I go back tonight and pay. He just took my details and didn't even want to see ID. Can you imagine this happen at Tescos?I'll try to take some photos of the boys when they are off to nursery, they look really sweet in their uniforms. Time for another album!
