It is strange to wake up early in the morning and can see everything. Now it is kind of weird to ask for a cup of tea, using the line "Oh, but I don't have my contacts on". It doesn't work like that any more, or does it?

It comes to an end my sick-vacaton leave and I am going to the war of finance in a new bank. And I have no idea how I will make Masha to wake up. At the moment she has a luxury to sleep till 10 a.m.

I have tried to have a party and it looks like with Wii-Mario, Lego-Batman and lasagna it worked out. THere were 5 kids (excluding David and Abby) from age 1 to 6. All were playing nicely and quietly, and notice not at any time someone was taking anything from anyone. That tells me something, it tells me that my kids have way too many toys, so many that they can keep 5 other kids occupied with no problems.

And the violin news. David is now attending classes at Alexandre Zapolski, a wonderful and talanted violin teacher. From day two there was announced that violin is too small, position is wrong, Davids can't read notes and now we literally play violin 2 hours a day. We can't quite from Suzuki till May, so David attends violin from 2 to 4 times a week.

And the last thing, David is going to play on a violin concert on Sunday.

News of the week

If you want to increase your salary, change your current job. That is the major drive in the financial business. And I can actually see the idea of that. Since yesterday someone has discovered that someone is so under-paid that someone came to the obvious conclusion: things need to change.

Zurich, eyes and TUG2010

Zurich was wonderful. From the Movenpick to the penguin parade at the zoo, from the snow in the mountains to the tram rides on the streets, from the most expensive shopping to the local restaurants.
I got finally done with the second eye, so on Monday I will find out if I will be able to read between the lines or not.
And we are ready for TUG 2010. Kids are traveling for free with SAS at the moment to America, just paying the taxes, so we have bought the tickets.
