Happy May day to all those who got a holiday from it. As i understand it, May Day is to celebrate/reward the Labour (working people) – which is why some places call it Labour Day. My darling husband didn’t get a May Day – he had to work in UK & is on his way home now.

Now for some exciting news which i have been holding in for some time – till it actually happened – well, it has happened!! i’m in business! – Yep, little o’me. What business? Well, take a guess – if u know me well, u might come close to getting it right.

i’m in the book business now – it’s a home business, being a rep for a publisher – Usborne Books at Home.

Basically, i let people know that i have English books for children (birth to teens) for sale & they either come & have a look at the samples/catalogues or check the website (my personal one is Not Yet set up – i’ll let u guys know once that’s up) – then they place orders thru me. People can host Book Parties too – they get free books worth a percent of the sales. i can also approach schools – if i can find any which are interested.

Why do business? Well, i always wanted to do some sort of work while here – but my German is not good enough to work in a similar job to what i had before. So do something on my own was the next option.

Why this business? Well, i LOVE books & it’s hard & expensive to get good english books here – especially for kids – so let’s get some for ourselves & make a little on the side too 😉

i’ve been a rep – officially since middle of April – but haven’t really done much yet. Pray that i get going & for wisdom to do business & of cos keep proper accounts.

i’m a little peeved cos it was just announced by the company that it would cost nothing for people joining today – 1st May & all through out May & June – the price of joining up goes up by £1 everyday – sigh! Should have waited – but it’s ok – i’m sure God has a plan as to why i joined in April.

Thanks to everyone who showed their care & concern about Tobias & of cos for praying.

He’s now well – actually he recovered quite fast once the vomiting was stopped with a change of medication from our regular doctor. – Praise God!!! The docs said that it would take 4 to 7 days to recover – but he had to energy to do some reading by the end of the 2nd day – by the end of the 3rd day he was playing just fine. He is currently (excuse the language) farting a lot – & today he had diarrhoea – we think he might still be battling the residue virus – but he is fine, no fever, even his coughing has stopped.

Just a little comment on the beautiful weather we are having – almost 3x weeks now, we’ve had temperatures above 20, reaching 25 even. It has been sunny, mostly without a cloud in the blue sky  – this is supposed to be Spring, not yet Summer. Some say that Winter hardly came & Spring just whizzed by & now we have the beginnings of Summer. But i must say we do need a little rain – all that nice new grass is actually going a bit brown now. Besides, i’m sure the farmers would appreciate some rain.

That’s it for now.

It’s now 3am in the morning – we just got back from the hospital – Tobias didn’t stop vomiting so after the 3rd time in 2hrs – i took him to the ER – but they don’t have a pedi here in Solothurn & they didn’t think he would keep down medicine as he vomited the water he drink before. So i had to drive myself & him to the Children’s Hospital in Biel – i had to find it – somewhere up the mountain – getting there was good – the docs & nurses were great! They diagnose him as having the beginnings of Gastroenteritis – which i take to be Gastic Flu? will look it up in the morning after some sleep. So can’t do anything but ride out the virus – which should take about 4-5 days, says the doc. He vomited again when we got home – water again – he hates vomiting now – he tries to keep it in even – sigh! Called the hospital they said it’s normal – we had given him something for the vomiting but the doc says it won’t really take effect cos it’s a virus. If in the morning he still can’t keep water down, we’ll go to our doc here in our village. sigh! i go sleep now.
