Back to reality after the holidays
Back to reality after the holidays
By Ingemar Pongratz
Summer is over in Sweden and in Europe and it is back to business. Or actually continue with business as usual, this has been pretty much a working summer for me, with several proposals to work on and to submit for clients.
It has been quite a lot of work, but it is at the same time good for the company economy and of course also for our private economy. So I should not complain and I am not doing that either. It is nice that things are going well. In any case we are planning our vacation. This time we are going to Thailand (again) which is nice. We are thinking about trying out a new place in Thailand, at least the issue has come up. We are thinking about Chiang Rai, at least for a few days. We have been traveling to Hua Hin for years now so why not?
On the other hand we really like Hua Hin and Bangkok and we find our way around the area so why change. We are not that adventurous so let see what happens this year.
Everything is well at home, little Louise has started school again. She would prefer to stay at home (of course) but she is doing very well in school. She read perfectly, math is going well and her English is perfect, actually flawless, so thank You TUbe and Peppa Pig!
She speaks like a native and read very well. Unfortunately her Spanish is not very good but we are working on the Spanish as well. But it is a loosing battle…
Louise will start with other activities as well. She swims every week and will start an art course. A month ago she wanted to become a YouTuber, then a researcher and now she wants to be painter when she grows up. She can certainly do all three if she wants. She is very good and her painting is really excellent. She has a very active social life, friends come over all the time. It is really fun
So she has the talent for for it. She is not the sporty type however…Just like dad…
So anyway, all is well! Nothing else is new. Soon I will report on the Thailand trip, hopefully we have a final decision on that soon.
So to summarize, things are going well and we are well and healthy. No tragedies and problems are manageable. So no reason to complain.
We are very thankful for all that!
