This is the showroom of our (house/project) contractor.
Moi standing in front of the future house. The ground has now been prepared and the official building starts on the 1st of December.
The building of the new house will start next month, that's less than 2 weeks from now and we are kind of excited. Construction will approximately take a year and the Dutchman and I have been very busy, spending long nights and pouring over on floor plans and schedules, researching building materials and visiting many showrooms. We have been driving all over the place. In fact, I took 3 days off just to do all this, what I call, building a house orientation. There's a lot to be done!
You'll hear more of the house as construction progresses =)
The other main thing that happened in October was my new car being broken into by thieves. I was pretty shaken when I saw the shattered glass in the parking area and to see the driver's seat and steering wheel in disarray. Because the thieves were amateurs, they were not able to steal the whole steering wheel and airbag. Unfortunately, Audi's (as well as BMW's and VW's) are very popular with thieves here in Western Europe.
Work is doing well but I don't really talk about that here on the blog.
On the family side, we are on the birthday season roll so every other weekend, Dutchman and I visit family and I get to eat cake, hehe. It helps that the Dutch sisters-in-law always make my favourite tart, the Monchou tart.
On other news, I met up with a few old colleagues for lunch dates. Networking as they say, but nonetheless, it's always great to catch up with old familiar faces.
