Hello everybody
Finally got some internet time again. If you read this, please comment, just to let me know I'm not just writing this for me. It does get kind of isolated sometimes, so it would be nice to hear from the outside world.
After the last post, I've planted some watermellon seeds, and you can believe it or not, they're already coming out!!! We're also trying to plant tomatoes and paprika, but that's more of an experiment... I'll keep you posted.
Quote of the day:
Les Africains ne trompent pas leur femme, ils se trompent seulement parfois de femme.
The first weeks I was here, whenever I came into the village people started calling me: "la blanche, la blanche". (I wondered, if we would do that in the opposite direction, in Belgium, wouldn't we be lynched for being racist?) Now the children even go around calling: "bonjour l'argent" when we pass by... What can I say, they learn young???

As our little family embarks on a journey that will take us to all kinds of places all over the world, I use this blog to write about my experiences in these places as an expat wife and mother.

Ah, mr & mrs Argent :-D
ReplyDeleteGrappige post wel :-) Klein nieuwtje vanuit den Belzjik, en dan meerbepaald uit m'n eigen fijne leventje: ik begin morgen aan een nieuw soort jobje binnen het bedrijf (woehoew!). Vanaf nu begin ik te leren kijken met de loupe, en de gegevens van de sarinmachine te gebruiken. Klinkt wsl allemaal nogal raar, maar het is voor mij een redelijk big deal, aangezien ik de laatste dagen zowat in slaap aan het vallen was bij mijn taken op het werk (en dat is natuurlijk niet goed voor de te halen minimumcijfertjes). Kortom, met wat chance leren we niet alleen iets bij, maar komt een vast contract dichter in de buurt. En nog belangrijker, bij een vast contract hoort een hoger loon, en bij een hoger loon hoort sneller kunnen afkomen naar jullie charmant hutje ;-)
Veel succes met de meloenen, en op naar de volgende post!
hopelijk gaat alles goed, dikke kus van mamy en willy
