Keeping me busy right now:

• Preparing for the planned refurbishment of our house. The discussions with the architect are more or less finished. Next steps: seek planning permission, find a builder, plan bathroom.
• Preparing for our upcoming vacation. This is our chance: Ingrid is (hopefully) old enough for a real vacation, and Baby 2 is not yet a hindrance. We’re going for a week in Beijing.
• Planning for this summer’s gardening activities. I’m thinking tomatoes, peas and herbs for the kitchen garden.
