Week 16: Making the most of our time

Friday 13th of june:

The week is almost at its end, but the work isn’t done yet. Today Bryan worked Megan’s last hours for the week and Megan had tutoring lessons. The weather was warm and we were glad the day was over. At the end of the day Megan called her ‘little’ sister and it was nice to speak with her again. We closed the day with a BBQ with our new friends Dana, Jonny and the kids.

Saturday 14th of june:

Today was a cleaning day, because yesterday was a workday. Megan still had some tutoring lessons today, so when we found out our mattress was moldy we were stressed. We got the mattress out of the camper, cleaned as much as possible. Then Megan started teaching. After teaching we drove to a mattress-store to get a new one. Luckily everything was in stock and we even bought a slatted base, so the air flow was better. After all this we drove to the supermarket and got our groceries for the week. When we got back we ate our dinner and went down to Dana and Jonny for some relaxing time.

Sunday 15th of june:

We slept on the new mattress and it was a bit thicker than the original. We didn’t put the slatted base in yet, because it was too wide. Bryan cut the sides off today so tonight we can put it in along with the topper. Megan had to work again for a few hours and we cleaned the rest of the camper. At the end of the day we were tired, but there was a party going on and we wanted to say hi. We stayed a bit longer than we had planned, but it was an amazing fun time. Bryan and Jonny played a game against each other and Dana and Megan made pictures and talked for a while. The children were playing on the swing. We went to bed in our new bed with the topper, but that turned out to be a bit difficult. Because the mattress was a bit bigger and the slatted base and topper added a few centimeters, the space from the bed to the ceiling was a bit tiny now. We got in but are thinking to remove the topper later on.

Monday 16th of june:

It felt like we didn’t have a weekend and it is monday already. The weather this week is going to be very hot and we are preparing for the heat. We worked in the garden today. Megan pulled some weeds and Bryan helped Jonny. After lunch Megan had to tutor again and Bryan jumped in the pool to cool off with Jonny and the kids. When Megan was done with tutoring she joined and we talked about going out to dinner and a pancake night. We are leaving this place soon so we want to make the most of our time here. In the evening we relaxed.

Tuesday 17th of june:

Today is a hot day. Megan decided not to work in the heat today and just focus on tutoring for the day. Bryan was willing to work, but the heat was too much. He did some hours, but after a little while you are just dripping in sweat. When tutoring was done and the sun was a little bit less warm we went out to dinner with Dana, Jonny and the kids. But getting there was a bit difficult if the kittens pushed all sorts of buttons and the camper accu was empty. We waited for a little bit and luckily it started again. We went to a chinese restaurant with an all-you-can eat buffet and we had an amazing time. Discussing all we want to do in the coming years and our plans for the future. The kids had an amazing time, trying new foods. We did have a little scare that night, because we can’t go anywhere without the kittens. So they stayed in the camper. Megan and Jonny went to check on them half way through, but then saw some kittens under the camper. We were afraid that the kittens escaped, but luckily it was a mother with other kittens, and our kittens were still playing in the camper. When we got back it was time for bed.

Wednesday 17th of june:

Wednesday started by working again. Megan cleaned the BBQ and Bryan helped to bring stuff down with the tractor. After that he started preparations for the windows. After lunch we continued with our work. Megan cleaned the driveway and Bryan sanded the windows. After a little while it was too hot and we had a swim break. We worked a bit afterwards and then it was time for the pancake party. We went down to Dana, Jonny and the girls and ate pancakes until our bellies were full.

Thursday 18th of june:

We had some hours left to do in the garden so Megan helped Bryan with the windows. After lunch Bryan continued and Megan gave some tutoring lessons. After work we were tired and relaxed in the camper. Megan wasn’t feeling the best and so did Dana, so we postponed the game night we had planned.
