My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

A member of a gym again, and back to studying

WEll ive gone and done it. I'm now a member of a German gym, the instructors thank fully speak better English than my German. I will have to bike down to it as although it is close to home it would take me too long to walk to it. I shall be having showers at home when i get back , as the Germans like to have open showers and i feel a little uncomfortable with that idea.

Its a basic gym, no posh seats and bistro area, but there are plenty of machines which work wonders on the body (by all accounts). I need to buy a padlock for a locker as well as getting a bike lock . Im going down for my first proper session on Monday. With this gym there are no restrictions so i can use it any time on any day of the week. So once ive got the kids to school and the dog out for a walk i will bike down and do an hours work out. Im aiming to be back in the house for around 11am so i can then crack on with some studying before the kids come out of school.

    Today  we went for a little look around our local area and came across some lovley shops including furniture shops, ive ear marked a desk for my self for 20 euros and a telephone table for a similar price. Hopefully will be getting them soon. V still needs to put his chest of drawers for the bedroom and the book cases for the reading corner we are making on the boys landing. Ive also seen a lovley deep chest which will hold the bedding for the boys and they can put a cushion on top and sit on it while reading their books. The house is slowly taking shape. Once V has finished putting all the furniture together and we have got pictures up on the wall then it will really feel like home.

We have now got skype up and running and thankfully the equipment we bought for Arran works and we were able to have a chat via the pc with all the family taking part.I think this makes the families feel better knowing that if we are succesful and get over to live in oz that we can still see each other and speak on a regular basis.

Its getting late now and i need my sleep
