Well, the last seven weeks have passed quickly and a lot has happened during this time. I will not tell the stories of how our house finally got ready - it would need a whole book to describe and some of you wouldn't believe it anyhow! Just one small highlight: One of the bathroom windows had to be moved five(!) times until it finally was located as indicated in the plan. But now it looks nice, the gardening is done, the satellite and the aircon are up and the most essential furniture also is in. Unfortunately I could not sleep there yet as I left Thailand last Sunday, but my sweet wife moved in on Wednesday. And another "good" aspect of the coordinating stress was that I lost about seven kgs, something very convenient when you face a medical check-up and a physical test for your next mission abroad  .This mission will not lead me to Bosnia within the next two weeks as planned, but again to Afghanistan in early January. So I have to re-start all my plannings, because it is imperative that I come back to Thailand in April in order to get the legal registration of our marriage done. And the main document for that (I just could finalize it on Wednesday) is valid only for six months. So some more planning stress lies ahead of me but I am confident to get everything straight. But now, I have two weeks of relaxing, but unfortunately in a winterly environment.
