Nicke, the rabbit

Something very sad happened last night... Our beloved rabbit Nicke disappeared!! And I am so very sad!!!

When I came out this morning for a chat with Nicke, he wasn´t there. I didn´t see the hole in the cage at first, but when I called for him and he didn´t show up I understood something was wrong. It has been a struggle in the cage so I guess a wild animal has been there taking him. It is awful!

A couple of years ago I said to my husband that our daughter really wanted a little rabbit. He didn´t know that I used her to get one of my own ...hehe... Of course the little girl liked the idea, but she hadn´t come up with it herself. The first rabbit that we had was a naughty one, it didn´t want us to come near her. We sold her after a year and then we found Nicke, the most wonderful little rabbit in the world. So very friendly. The funny thing is that my husband isn´t too keen on pets but he really, really liked Nicke. When I rang my husband to tell him that Nicke was gone, he went sad.

I haven´t told our daughter yet and I have been wondering how to tell her. My husband thought that we should say that he had run away, but I don´t agree. Then she is going to wonder and worry about him. I think the best is to tell her the truth even if it is hard. That´s what I´ll do!

I´ve got a monster

Yes, that´s right! I´ve got a monster, not under my bed but a dog as in D-O-G. She is a real beast, nice and understanding when we are all alone and like an evil when we meet people and other dogs. I am not fair when I call her a beast because she is so very friendly and loves everybody. The problem is that she almost turns me around every time she gets that happy and that makes me mad. It is so embarrassing having a dog that behaves like that. It isn´t my first one so I can´t put the blame on that... :)

Well, well, today I have been on my first course with my dog since she was a puppy. I have decided that she is going to be a nice little dog so that I can feel happy about being a dog owner. I was a little bit ashamed at first but I noticed that others were having the same problems like me and then I really felt relieved!

One of the exercises that we did tonight was to walk past a sausage that was lying in the grass. My godness, I shouted before she even thought of eating it... Well, I thought I´d better do, otherwise the others wouldn´t be able to do that excersis, and wouldn´t that have been a shame?

English all around you

English all around you. That is what our teacher call one of our tasks. She is so right... I have English everywhere. I am going to make myself perfectly clear:


Sometimes I am thinking in English just to practise it. I talk English in my car to my 5 years old daughter, just to practise it. She doesn´t understand what her crazy mother is doing. Not very often, but sometimes, I find something on youtube to listen to, of course in English. When my husband is sitting by the telly I sit there too, reading the golden bible, in English. I am starting to wonder if this is quite normal or maybe I should do something about it before it goes way over normality. So what do you suggest?


Beside of this, I also got a friend in the Us that I correnspond quite often, at least twice a week. I like to have this contact because it is exciting having a friend so far away and that you only meet on the webb. We are saying that we some day will meet over a nice glass of red wine and I can promise that we would have a jolly good time. Something is telling me that both of us talk a lot - maybe she could try speak Swedish while I speak English. A funny thought!! :) Then I should have plenty of time expressing me...hehe...

Finally!

Finally I understand what it´s all about! I have to admit that I felt a little bit stupid not knowing what I was reading. Today I have also read a mail from our teacher saying that we should not bother so much if we don´t understand, we will later on. That sounds great if the situation occurs again. It will, believe me... :)

I have continued reading the Golden Bible and it is good reading, it reminds me of the knowledge I have hidden way back in my head. The word classes and the clause elements. I needed to update that, that´s for sure!

We are working in peergroups and I must say that mine is working just fine. I think that we have a good communication about the course but also about our lives. That´s nice!

I am waiting for my other books so that I know what I have to do later on. It is exciting and I am looking forward reading them. Crazy, I know...
