New Desk

It is a pleasure to type this from a new computer desk that I made! It was a freestyle project, where I had a vague idea of what I wanted and just made it up as I went. I really like to work that way. Standing up at the computer feels a lot better than sitting down. This one is a lot more solid and larger than the portable version I was borrowing from Naomi. I have also been busy with building the new website and it is a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe a side job down the road to put together websites for people.

Amélie stayed home on Monday with a concussion, but is feeling good now. She even got to take part in the school swimming lessons which she was really looking forward to. The girls also got some homework for the first time. Abigail found it way too easy so she was a bit annoyed. Hopefully the teacher will adjust the level soon. The girls also had their first piano lesson - it will be over 800 euros for the year - so they need to practice at least 15 minutes per day.

The weather has been way too hot and dry. The tomatoes are still doing well since I give them plenty of water, but lots of other things seem to be dying. It was a good chance to get all the sawdust bricks made for the year though! Just letting them dry and we should be in good shape. They keep pushing the rain forecast back.
