So much happening!

Hello friends!
Wow! We are all the way in October and I haven't blogged since 20th September.
I am sorry but as I mentioned in my previous blogpost I do much more in real life than in the virtual one so I will blog only when I really can.
After spending a whole weekend decluttering and cleaning my bookcase I thought of relaxing a bit and sit on the computer today. So here I am.
Thank you all for your comments and congratulations in my previous blogpost. Luxembourg was really a great experience.
Since we returned lots and lots of things happened.
Schools had already started and I had to rush in and start teaching.
I managed to clean my English classroom a bit more and decorate it with Autumn themes.

I finished cleaning my new kitchen.

I attended two shadow puppet performances one by Tassos Georgiou at Katerini.....

and one by Giannis Chatzis in Thessaloniki.

That was a good chance to meet old friends.

I also had coffee with old colleagues at Kitchen Bar cafe overlooking the beautiful Thessaloniki where a cycling race was taking place.

I tried to do a bit of redecorating...

 and cleaned my big bookcase.That was a real chore.

I also went to two weddings,

a memorial service

 and a wedding anniversary party

 and celebrated my nameday.

I decluttered our wardrobes,CDs and books.

 There is still a lot to do.
I also visited a couple of Art Galleries but I will talk about these in a separate post.

New starts! A new kitchen!

Have a nice month everyone!
I can't believe time flew so fast that I couldn't even find time to blog.
There are so many things happening around here that I seem not to find time for the blog!
Of course schools started.
This year we have an empty classroom and I temporarily got it to have an English classroom. I am really happy about it. I bought cleaning things and went and cleaned it but haven't decorated it yet because I really don't know if it lasts.

At home our flat is a mess.
Long ago we had decided we wanted a new kitchen fitted and at last we found a handyman we could trust to make everything, plumbing, wires, the units.
From this which lasted 22 years....

 we got through this.....

to arrive to this....

and this...

and finally to this....

While the kitchen was covered with the IKEA safety wrap lots of people really liked it and told me I should keep it blue! We decided to paint one wall blue to keep the mood!
I will blog more about the kitchen in future with details.
So far we have been cleaning (and decluttering yeah!) for about 22 days now and we only managed to do the kitchen. The rest of the house is still a mess. Hopefully we will have been finished by....October?Christmas?
