The first of May.

Today is the 1^st of May, a public holiday (Tag der Arbeit ) a day when the trade unions have there public meetings on market places and such.

I am a bit behind with my posts at the moment it’s because I am so busy with other things (new lawn) and working at my old company that I just don’t seem to find time to sit down and write, I must admit at the present there is not much to write about.

I was working last Tuesday, left home this time at half past six hoping to arrive at work for half past seven, but just like the last time I got stuck in a traffic jam on the Cologne ring motorway were huge road works are taking place and they will last till late summer.

The day at work was a busy one with meetings and sorting out one or two problems that had cropped up over the last two weeks.

At the moment I must admit my first priority is my lawn, the weather is not helping me any with the rain showers that we are having. I have everything ready all I need to do is waltz the area so that I can sow the grass seeds. Because it is raining the soil is wet and sticks to the roller, which in turn makes the lawn uneven. So what I need are a couple of dry days so that I can finish the job.

My friend for whom I set the Blog up for last week sent me a mail this morning saying that he is having problems writing a post and has asked if I can pop by for a beer and sort things out for him.

My wife has found (through her Blog) a young German girl working in New Zealand who is writing a Blog about her experiences over there. This has encouraged my wife to carry on with her Blog now knowing that someone is reading her posts. I hope she finds someone else in the big wide world, when you know that someone is reading what you write makes writing a Blog more interesting.

It’s raining again, this shit weather is driving me crazy.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
