Here we go…just two more days until we are off for this year’s family holiday. It’ll be just one week, but hey, that’s longer than last year’s holiday – slowly but steadily we are improving! And the location highly compensates for the short time: we’ll introduce the little one to Scotland! One quick stopp in Edinburgh and then a few days on the Isle of Mull which neither Karsten nor I have been to so far. The weather forecast? Well, what do you expect…it is Scotland after all.

As you can guess there are still so many things which need to be done….three big bags of clean laundry are waiting to be folded, one big bag of wet laundry is waiting to be put on the balcony (and folded in the evening), flights must be confirmed, important documents need to be gathered and packed, the fridge needs to be emptied, trash to be taken out, bathroom and restroom to be cleaned, floor to be vaccumed and mopped (something I would normally postpone, but that’s exactly what I have been doing for the last four weeks, so I guess it just needs to be done at one point), waterproofs to be found, bags to be packed, flowers to be watered…then there is a playground date this afternoon, a committee meeting for me this evening, a work meeting tomorrow morning, another play date tomorrow afternoon, Karsten has another day on the field….

It’s gonna be a well-earned week off 🙂
