I woke up and saw a light downstairs.
Went to the bathroom (nature called badly, lol!),
and then switched off the lights after switching my mobile phone on.
Waited a bit and then the light was there again.
So I had a look at the front of the house but there was no car, nothing.
From the top of the stairs I can see the backgarden,
and there was no light either.
But downstairs a light was moving.
As Lars and Jim were sleeping downstairs I called them awake,
and we all checked the doors.
Everything was still locked.

When they went to bed again,
I switched out all the lights and waited for a time.
But the light didn't come back.

So we either have a ghost in the house,
being a light for those of 50+ (LOL),
or I woke up just in time to prevent burglary.

We had a nasty break in some years ago,
so I'll be alert the next nights and weekends.

And ofcourse I caught a cold. LOL!

Was awake early to wake up the girls and to be on time for the bus.
We were just at the bridge in the bus, when Jim called that the instructor of the girls was ill.
So I was an hours early for my lesson.
As it was far too cold to stay outside we went to a shop and sat there waiting.
When we arrived at the school, we still had to wait in the cold wind.
But there were people to talk and wait with us. Joking about scottish whiskey.

Then a teacher, not ours, arrived and he didn't go through the motions to let us in.
I just sent yinti, the little one, looking very pale, to him and after two looks at her he decided to open the schoolf for us.

It felt sooooo hot in there.

The girls were lucky, they got a lesson from one of the oldest members.
He undid the wrong instructions of their tutor (it's his first time tutoring) and the girls told him that mom already had told them so. LOL!

I myself had my first lesson and enjoyed it very much.
We're only with three. One of them is the sister of one of my best friends, and we like each other very much.
So it's fun to be there.

When we finally left we were surprised by the cold wind and the piercing son.

At home I felt exhausted, so I think something is coming up.

It was later than I expected, so I'd better reckon next saturdays with more hours from home.
Well, as long as I enjoy it I'll take those hours.
I need time for myself.
It's a break from fighting that depression that is keeping to try to get me down.

It's my birthday!!!!!!

The girls wanted to give me something at midnight.
So I woke them up and we had a girls only meeting.
They had made lovely things at school and had such fun being the first to congratulate.

The day started out far too early with the same too-doo before the boys went to school.
I felt like running and never come back.

Then a friend came far too early.
I was standing under the shower when she was at the back door. (She lives in the street behind us). I heard something, but thought it was Jim coming back from buying cake, applepie and such. He has a key, so I didn't take any action.
After I left the bathroom she rang at the front door. At the same time Jim was entering the garden. So I knocked on the window and he understood and opened the door.

I just grabbed something to wear. LOL!
So no nice birthdayclothes, carefully choosen..

After that the day went on, with some time after lunch to have a quick look at the mail.


Then new visitors came.

It's custom here that the family makes a Sarah.
That's a human size doll, that sits in the front garden on a chair, so everyone knows that a woman is celebrating her 50tiest birthday.

Well, none was made for me.
Which made my best friend a bit irritated.
After she left before dinner time, she was back after half an hour, with a diploma stating I was 50 and a thing to stick on my clothes which says 50. LOL!

Well, I got my digital camera.
So when I won't be here for the next three weeks, you know I'm reading through the booklet. Oh my dear!!
Well, I'm sure I get the thing working this year, but when I saw all that came out of the package and how little the camera is... Haha!!! It made me long for the old large one, with the bag full of lenses and a clear button to click. LOL!

Tomorrow morning I'll celebrate with the bagpipe band, so that'll be fun too.


So now I'm 50....

Thank you for those who have congratulated me, for the cards and the cute gifts.
