May is turning out to be the best month yet - touch wood. This week was a very short work week given that I had Monday free in return for the weekend I worked in London and we had Wednesday off as it was the 1st May.
On Monday, we made the most of it by heading to Hamburg for a lovely lunch and we bought Nico's suit for the wedding. It was a lovely day and we were relieved to have something else of the wedding to do list.
Even though it was back to work on Tuesday, it was a very short day as we had a big union meeting which decided to strike on the 16th May in order to support equality among teachers and teaching staff in Bremen.
While Nico helped his friend pave a patio on Wednesday, I headed to Loreto's for a lovely lunch on our midweek day off. It was great to catch up and the weather played along for a lovely country walk - but more on that later.
Thursday and Friday were normal work days again but somehow, it was a much nicer experience, either I am really getting comfortable in the job or it was just the benefit of a shorter week. On Friday afternoon, I met Loreto again for another English teachers' workshop. It was good fun, and none of us rushed to leave at the end. I picked up more ideas for work so I will look forward to putting those into practice next week!
On Friday evening we had a lovely barbecue on the balcony followed by breakfast and another barbie out there today - hence the later update. The weather is glorious and we cracked out the sun cream again. Summer seems to have arrived - I hope it lasts a while.
Next week will be another short week with Thursday and Friday off. We are planning to head up to Schneverdingen to do some more wedding planning and see Nico's family. Then we're planning Sunday dinner at a new restaurant with Loreto and Ed. Have a good one!
