Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving

Yesterday, we gave thanks for the fact that we don't have to live in Germany anymore (hopefully, no Germans read this blog :)

Thanksgiving

We were invited by our department's secretary, who celebrates Thanksgiving with three of her grand sons, and her three cats.

Frans spent most of his time sprawled on the floor to take cat pics, but also managed to get up at some point to take a few photos of our secretary's snowman collection.

She has about 400 of them, but apparently this one is her favorite.

We moved!

Jokkmokk

Last weekend, we left Qat-har, and moved to our new home. As you may recall, it has a whopping 7 rooms for us to fill. We assembled a Jokkmokk, which did not help much. It looks ridiculously small in our dining room... Oh well, we meant to put it outside on the porch anyway.

Flowers

But the flowers that our landlords gave us are beautiful!

Apart from the badly put together Jokkmokk, we managed to haul a sofa into one of our two living rooms. We then assembled a coffee table and a lamp, lit the fire place and called it a day.

Home Sweet Home

Our stuff from Germany was supposed to arrive today, but did not, and it is unclear when it will get here. But whatever, we have a sofa, a jokkmokk, a kitchen, internetz, and a mattress on the floor, so we are already at the level we reached in two years in Germany!

Apologies for the lightposting. Soon a photo of our new car, and our new home. We are picking up the keys for the home today.
