The Quest

No Holy Grail. Just a house. But this 'just a house' phrase seems to be more difficult to prove in reality. Anyway, it is getting a lot of our energy. We had a good choice until now, and then they sold it behind our backs for a bit more than we were willing to give. Democracy.
Now it's back to square one. At least we have a better idea about the areas we're concentrating on. It does make things easier, but not less frustrating.
We know however how the kitchen would look like, the bathroom, the livingroom furniture... That thanks to the long evenings spent around various catalogues and brochures. A bit difficult to put that in practice yet.

In a more joyful line, I will start playing tennis again. 'Again' means after a pause of 3 years or so. I used to play long hours with Nadja in the sunny English days... Those were the days indeed. I will take some lessons too, so that the next time I meet my pro German friend, I will be able to win a game or two for once. That is a promise!

And fingers crossed, the spring may well be around. Yesterday I went for the first time without a coat on! It's a sign!

Well, well, so I should try to get into shape, too? I have not played since we spent our days at RMS, what will make life a lot easier for you! But just in case, I can take some lessons with my uncle (you might remember him ;-)) to make sure that I will win a game or two, too! Nadja

of course I remember you tennis uncle, greet him from me. hopefully I will improve a bit, since my first lesson showed what a disaster I am... :-)

Oh, I will - Well, he asked only a few weeks ago, what you are up to at the moment. And just remember what kind of disaster I was on inliners, so I think we are even!
