Sunshine and rain

So.... what's up here in Rotterdam?

Well the boys can do a judo exam for their next "slip" which means that T. gets his first (yellow one) and M. his second (orange) somewhere mid December.
And...
they get to "fight" in the Sinterklaas tournament Saturday 3.

We haven't heard from the insurance company. Last week they said the expert had send in such an extensive report they needed at least one week to struggle thru it.

The job R. has been interviewed 7 times for now (i know, sounds like a sic joke and believe you me, is one) is not going to happen.
There is another thing but he's focusing on a Prince II project management certification now. He will probably do that in January.

Apart from that, my mother-in-law broke her knee last Monday, has had surgery yesterday and is now waiting for a place in some revalidation home coz she is not allowed to stand on it for the next 6 wks.

Caroline has a urine infection.
Which basically comes down to her going to the toilet every half hour, peeing 3 drops and screaming that it hurts so much and she wants to see a doctor (I swear, that's what she said last night).
When we were at the doctors this afternoon, she vividly denied ever having had pain.

After having brought her back to bed at 1.43 last night, R. developed some serious chest pains that didn't go away so at 2.32 we were at the doctor who ran some tests and concluded it was probably due to heavy exercise. As he is iceskating again on Saturday and ideally would like to skate the alternative 11 cities route in Austria in January, he is working out more and more and has ridden the van Brienenoordbrug 20 times last Sunday.
I think i can do about 4.
We were back at 3.30, probably slept at 4 and at 6 this morning T. just wanted to make sure it was OK if he was going to watch television downstairs.

O and last but not least. A. is going home this Friday.

Never a dull moment.
