It is time for us to write again.
There is uncertainty about when exactly we will return to SA. In the mean time we are working and living peacefully. We enjoy life next to the rivier. We also got the idea like many other people to start rollerblading. The children learned very quickly and are cruising down the river in the evenings. Stephan and I also got a pair each. Stephan got hurt in the first week and me in the second week because of a hard fall. I hope to be up and rolling again by next week. Stephan recovered quickly and now looks like a pro. We also try to get to Kalemegdan often - the big park with the fort. It is 15 min walk from us.
Nadia and Anandi became very fit with all the walking (we too). So now we can cover great distances with them. They also became very creative with toys (most of their toys are at home). They make garbage beautiful. We are amazed at what they come up with. They are also very good friends and we laugh a lot at their games that goes something like this "and then you say ... and then you do this ... and then".
We are also fine. We miss friends that are difficult to make if you do not understand the language. With the uncertainties we don't want to put too much effort into language learning and making friends. Because tomorrow you might be gone. But perhaps that is the secret to learn .. live for today and make use of every opportunity. Like Dorry says "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..". But it is something we struggle with. We are going on holiday soon. But visas are a problem and we will see where we will be able to go. We look forward to it no matter where it is.
Love
Stephan and Irene
