bRiEf nOtE...


just to say I'm back from my travelings and have lots to share... but now just a quick note as I don't have my pictures here...
I got a new computer...as I said, Muxima broke the screen from my iBook...but a friend in Germany gave me hers with a broken hardrive...another friend from Emma in Ireland did the job to replace the hardrive from mine (12"one) into the new one (14"one)...now, it's going to be easier to use it :-)...
And I also got another battery, from another friend with a broken 14" iBook...
So, recycling is the best :-)...
Tip for the day:
RECYCLE...REUSE...REDUCE (consumption)...

I had some things to sort out as I came back...

first: my neighbour got his purse stolen...and our car keys were in it...Bummer...the mechanic came here yesterday and managed to open and get it to work, but now he has to order a new key set, engine starter (or whatever the name is in english)

second, but most important for me: Muxima was gone :-(... I had 2 suspicions: either someone took her, or she's in her heat... The second option was confirmed Wednesday morning :-/... I had a feeling I was hearing her bark, so I went out to find her... as I was whistling in the woods there she was, she came running...but with her were also 2 male dogs :-/... I'm hoping she didn't mate cuz I wanted to wait for the second heat for her to have puppies... anyway...now I have to go around with her on a rope for 3 weeks :-(...Hmmm... At least Tom Sawyer and Huck are protecting the area from other males... of course they might try to jump on her too, but so far they seem ok, they steped back as soon as I said "no", and they never tried it again... at least I don't need to handle them...that would be hard...

Anyway, now I feel at home... I was a bit sad when I didn't see Muxima around...
anyway...soon I'll post about my time in Germany and Belfast... lots of pictures from Juran and Ulli's wedding :-) it was simply great !!!
I haven't got the energy to do that yet..and today I'm gonna go vote for our village hall...
