About the small things in life that seem oh so big

Important visitors

Posted in Expat Talks by Cheryl on 11 April 2007

I never thought that the day my parents would come to visit me in my first house would be such a big deal. Of course, I never realised that the house would be in Germany, or that it would be the first time my parents actually saw how Tim and I live. The last time they came to visit our apartment in Leiden (Holland), they didn’t really get a good idea of our lifestyle since everything was in boxes! … when they originally booked that visit I hadn’t the faintest idea we would be moving that week.. to Germany.. This time they’re playing it safe; they booked the flight at the last minute, so there’s not a very big chance that we would be out of this house before they arrive! Particularly since we bought this one ;) (more…)

Blog blips

Posted in Short & Sweet by Cheryl on 11 April 2007

I heard from a couple of you out there that my blog had a few technical “blips” over the last couple days; I think they should be fixed now, sorry about that. This blog is my playground away from work; I try to experiment with as many new things here as I can that I don’t get to play with in my day job. It was one of these small experiments that caused the blips, a caching module… I have logged the experiment as failed test 1!
