It's been a lovely week this week. First of all, we had a late start due to the long bank holiday weekend here in Germany. The weather was beautiful so on Tuesday we headed out to Thedinghausen on the bikes to visit Ed and Loreto for lunch. I've already posted about the bike ride itself. One of the nicest parts, as ever, in rural Bremen, was the wildlife. This time, we could here the frogs singing in Park Links der Weser and saw beautiful birds everywhere. This morning, we've even heard cuckoos in the garden.
The short work week went well. I now have an idea which classes I'll be teaching next year and since I will only have one new one, in year five, I'm quite pleased with that.
Yesterday, I had another lovely lunch with Loreto in town and we did a spot of shopping - perfect start to the weekend. I bought a cute little rain cover for my bike saddle as it got caught in a thunderstorm on Thursday which didn't make for a pleasant ride home. I also invested in some new stationary for a hopefully inspirational new start on the Weightwatchers front as I knew that this week was going to be a bad one on the scales, and was proved right this morning - two pounds back on. More on that later.
Nico and I booked to go to the salon this afternoon so that he can redeem his Christmas voucher and I can tick another item off my 28 things list, I'll let you know how that went tomorrow.
I've also been trying to get to grips with a new book this week, my classic for the month - The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I have to say, the style and dialect in which it is written have made it really tough for me to get into but I am persevering and enjoying the story itself.
Next week is the last and only full week at work before another short week thanks to another bank holiday - I love May (to be fair, we don't have half term as England does, so it makes up for that). We don't have a lot planned except getting ready for Briony and Lucas visiting the week after! Have a good week!
