Changes...
Strange where time goes – just found that it is already one week since I blogged here.
I had a lot to think about during the recent days, though. We have decided to sell the house we are living in and buy a flat / apartment instead within the next two years. There are several reasons for it: first, half of the house belongs to Hermann’s brother and he wants to get rid of it, as he does not live here and sees no sense in keeping it, as it only costs him money; second, the house is old and will cost more and more money in repair – more than we can afford in the long run; third, the house and garden are much too large for the two of us to manage – Hermann has got so much work in his job (seven days a week is the rule) and for me it would be more than a full time job to manage the house – apart from the fact that with regard to the garden I have got no idea how to take care of it. It will be hard for Hermann to leave his parents’ house after such a long time, but of course we have to be sensible. So we are looking for a nice affordable flat to buy and hope that when we offer the house we will get at least the price for it which the bank says it is worth, because our share of it would be about the sum a flat would cost.

How To Win The Nobel Peace Prize
I took this test recently…
… and looking at the result I think I would deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, too – since it now is being awarded for not much more than good intentions and nice words *lol*
Take a look at the previous Nobel Peace Prize winners and you will see that they all worked for years, sometimes decades, for peace and change and some even had to suffer persecution for their efforts before they were awarded this prize – none of them received it in advance and for almost nothing!
You are a Model Citizen of the World |
 You care deeply about the world, and you do everything you can to help. You feel like the injustices in the world are your injustices, and you fight to fix them. You have a deep appreciation for the differences that make up the world. You feel like you have something to gain from every culture and country. |
