This year we have luck, or rather the garden has. I have bought some great waterhose tools for not too much money (picture in Our House):

• 2x 20 meter waterhose
• connectpiece for between the two waterhoses
• a spray set for manual water spraying
• an automatic sprayer

With the 2x20 meters we can give water to the entire garden in an evening. The hose is connected to the tap in the cellar and goes through one of the small windows under the balcony out to the garden. It's the tap that we switch around with the washing machine.

As we are also taking care of one our neighbours garden + cats, I took the automatic sprayer with to their garden...saved me to get stung all over by mosquito's and knott this time.

Yesterday a friend, Christopher, came to visit us and brought his laptop with which didn't want to start up anymore. I have fixed it for him and made sure the data (photos of his new child etc) were saved. Today he came pick up his laptop. He was glad that I could fix it for him and his wife and said he wanted to do a favour in return. Then I came up with the idea of fixing the watertap in the kitchen which has been dripping for the past 4 years. We bought a new tap at Ikea a year ago and well.. after some trial and error he managed to install it! So we are really happy now: no more water spilling all day long, no more annoying drip noise in the kitchen and a much more user-friendly water tap for kitchen use (picture in Our House).

Also we have got a new fuel driven lawnmower from Hallvard (picture in Our House). Well new, the machine is 20 years old, but works perfectly and really suits our needs. Before we had an electric lawnmower that didn't cut the grass too well (hover) and your always stuck with the electric cable to be able to mow the entire lawn. So we thank Hallvard for that gift!

Otherwise we are doing fine, enjoying the sun, looking for a job and relaxing a lot too.
