Passed !!

My god - she can swim. Not far but she can keep herself above water. Now I just have to make sure we go swimming enough to keep it up. One very pround little girl with her certificate.


The comfortable phase is over of just having to keep an eye on her in the pool with her swim rings on her arms - now she thinks she can do everything and just jumps in without her rings where she wants - so back in the water Mum and all the time !


Very hot here at the moment. Kinda like a monsoon season. 31 C in the shade yesterday and then a huge lightening and thunderstorm in the evening. This has been happening most evenings so we haven't had to water the plants much which is good. The thunder is so loud and the lightening streaks across the sky and is amazing to watch.

Mike's Kitzbuehel project - a private bank, is nearly finished so we are all excited about the completion date and offical opening party. Should be good and the building is looking great. Here are some before and after shots.

Before:


After:




Harvested our cherries the other week which were really yummy. Charly ate a heap before they even got to the pot but hey !




Spent the last weekend in Graz visiting friends which was nice and it was sooo hot there. Went to the theater and out for dinner and the babysitter was built in (friend's 20 year old daughter - Charly loved her). Great weekend.

Also visited the Salzburg Zoo recently and checked out a few nasty wolves and a heap of other animals. Stinking hot again so kept to the shady parts.


Hope all of you are well. Feel free to leave a comment or to say hello if you want.

Love us 3 xxxooo
