Thick Sweater Day Today!




It is a day when the Kyoto-protocol went into action. To 'celebrate' this, Belgian schools were asked to organise a 'thick sweaters' day. The idea is to turn off the heating in the educational buildings for the day, to save energy, and to have everybody wear extra clothing instead. The Kyoto Protocol is a protocol to the international Framework Convention on Climate Change with the objective of reducing Greenhouse gases that cause climate change.
So, we are all warmly dressed - as it is not the end of the day yet :)

Spring is here



The weather is becoming more and more enjoyable. It is warm and sunny, birds trill and chirrup, flowers started to bloom.... Well....it is a great pleasure to be outside during the day!

It is unbelievable to think that first semester is over and second starts on Tuesday. Vova had passed his Hebrew bridge exam with an excellent grade - praise to God for this! First semester exams and papers are done, some should be turned in in a month - but we thank God for His faithfulness and His guidance, we thank Him for the results!

Today we had a great Sunday - good church service and good prime-time fellowship for "older" :) youth. It usually takes place at one's couple home where we have good meal and good fellowship. Usually 20 + people come to prime time. They are all from different countries - some study and some work here.

I continue to work and study Nederlands - which goes great! :) :) :)

Also, there are new photos :)
