living life in a different country, different culture, different experiences; being different
Yep, that has been the weather in the last couple of weeks… we had some lovely warm Spring days and then the rains came again and still have not left… so in yet another vain bid to get Spring to come again… (my 1st attempt at tempting Spring to come is here)… here are some lovely Spring pictures i managed to get while the sun shone, ENJOY! 😉
What a wonderful Spring day that was…
Hoping for more such days…

i was going to work on a post to announce Draw #3 today because i always announce the draw on Facebook first then on my blog. BUT i woke up this morning to almost all the 25 spots taken and then within 30 minutes, ALL the spots were taken. So Draw#3 only lasted 2 days! Thank you to all our very generous contributors and supporters. 😀
So here’s the how we did the draw:
Here’s the list of recipients of the giveaway items (14 items in Draw#3 because it was the final draw):
A few of the above people have won more than one item.
From the very start of the giveaway on April 16th, till today, Jack and Jensen’s adoption grant grew by US$1502.71. Praise the Lord! But only US$395 of those funds were registered as part of this fundraiser.
Once again, thank you one and all for all your support and love shown to Jack and Jensen.
BUT WAIT!
We are not quite done yet! They still need about another US$19000 to be fully funded.
i know i said that the above was the last draw but we have a SURPRISE Giveaway!
i’ll reveal all tomorrow, Sunday, April 28th, EST 5pm (Swiss Time 11pm) – SO Stay Tuned!

Well, Spring holidays ended 5 days again and i am just now getting round to writing about… but if you are a regular reader, you know that’s how i roll around here 😉
So there were 2 weeks of Spring Hols, what did we do? Let’s start at Week 1.
Monday was all about getting the housework done. Tuesday… well, that was the beginning of the highlight, which was going to Munich and Legoland!
Tuesday morning we (the son and i) got up early, washed up, dressed and headed off to Zürich, where i attended a really interesting short course on social media by Curious Courses. i enjoyed my learning time while Tobias enjoyed playing with the kids and his DS. Then we headed off to the airport to catch the flight to Munich to meet the Husband, who was already there for work.
Munich is a nice city but BIG… i’ve been living in a small village (and loving it) and small town for quite a while now;)
i like the old town part; there is some very nice and interesting architecture. Unfortunately, the camera ran out on battery and the smartphone pictures aren’t great… so you will have to go see Munich for yourselves or just take my word for it… hehheee…
But what i do have is TONS of photos of Legoland, which we visited on the second day. So many in fact that even after i had made a strict selection, there was too many to fit into this post the “normal” way… so i’m going to try the gallery feature on this blog… here goes nothing…
Oh, the other highlight for me was meeting up with my classmate from my polytechnic days. We haven’t seen each other since graduating and that’s like way too many decades ago… it was just dinner together but it was lovely to meet and catch up… hopefully we will be able to do so again soon 😀
We only stayed those two nights cos Husband had to come back for work. But it was a nice short holiday 🙂
The rest of Week 1 was all about relaxing around the house.
Stay tune for Week 2.
