Well. No, not really. But I have managed to finally get around to gutting the living room and re-arranging the furniture, and tomorrow we will be replacing the unit that the TV and electrical stuff stands upon. We've been looking for the perfect replacement for a couple of years now. Not too wide and not too tall. The present incumbent is about a metre and a half high by about 160 centimetres wide. The replacement is maybe five centimetres wider and about the same height, with drawers and cupboards where DVDs and CDs can be squirreled away. This is great, because at the moment thetop of the piano and of a small cupboard are covered with CD holders and piled-up CDs, and we ran out of room on the DVD unit (nigh on 2 metres tall, big enough to have two rows of DVDs on each shelf) years ago.
D also bought me a new bookcase, as my existing one (which will hopefully be rebuilt either later today or tomorrow) is overloaded. Or would have been overloaded when rebuilt! I am quite looking forward to getting some of my books unpacked...I may and go do that in a little while.
I've also found out that German courses start at the local college next month, and I have to go along next Tuesday evening to find out which level of course I need to go on. Apparently they will administer a test and that will sort out which class I need to take. Probably a series of classes, in all honesty, as I'd like to get my German up to as near fluent as I can. Hopefully though I can start looking for work by about Easter - if not before! I've had a look at some job sites, but most office work round here requires a decent level of German, and I can get by when I go shopping and that's really about it at the moment. Not really good enough!
We've had some snow of late, too, much to the delight of the resident felines. Loki - being a Norwegian Forest cat - is supposed to be built for snowy weather. He was Not Amused, as this photo should illustrate!
