This New Year has actually brought something new, a new family. I have decided to stop working for both the Norwegian family and Estonian company in order to be happier here in the north.
My new familyconsists of a widowed American man and his two sons, 9 and 12, living on the other side of Bergen, so any complicated moving was included. I love Bergen and wouldn’t moved anywhere else, especially not inland. If I believed in God, I would say that He sent that family for me. The boys are well-behaved, we can speak the same language, English and are able to socialize with their au-pair. They’re also very independent and self-sufficient – they don’t need me to watch them all the time. Their dad is a nice man who does care about his boys and his house (he keeps it clean and repaired). It’s more work here for me but it doesn’t matter that much because my days are structured and time flies faster.
I was encouraged to attend Spanish course and start swimming again. Both of these make me feel much better about myself – it’s a proof when one starts to do something except for their work and watching TV/PC, their mental health gets better.
Spanish course – what a surprise when I entered the classroom and nine pensioners were smiling at me! In fact, it shouldn’t have been so surprising for me that my classmates will be grand- and greatgrand- mothers/fathers – who else has time to go to a language course in the morning? These people are extremely inspiring for me, they lives are very active, they travel, socialize,...not like the seniors I know, who only watch TV and gossip with their neighbours. Our teacher is great. The only problem is that there is too much of Norwegian, I practise Norwegian there more than Spanish. But the lessons progress quite slowly, so I don’t have any problems to follow. Well, if I wanted to learn faster, I would have to go to an evening course but my main focus is still to Norwegian, so this Spanish course is the best fit for me.
Swimming – If one swims 10 km between 1st January and 31st March, one can win a trip to Playitas. Only 600 metres left :) I started to use sauna and do enjoy it!
Unfortunately I don’t have time to swim for 45-60 minutes, I can usually swim only 30...but it’s still ok for keeping my mind up. I also cannot see any changes in my figure...that’s a bit sad but I’m not giving up!
The last change in my life is shopping, I started to shop and have no idea how I’m gonna pack myself for my next change of address.
