We had an interesting class yesterday at school. A man from the Civilförsvarsförbundet or Civil Defense society came to give a talk to our SFI classes. We learned about preparedness in case of War, catastrophe or natural disasters, plus who to call in case of emergency, similar to our 911. All in all, it was be prepared and what to have in case of the worst. And more importantly, help your neighbor.... Mattias was surprised that they still do these talks but I noticed he quickly pulled out the camp stove and filled several buckets of water when we had severe weather some weeks ago and were worried about losing power for some hours. His civil training combined with military training put him into survival mode. The man yesterday kept bringing up having water and dried coffee just in case. Yes, who can't do without a nice cup of coffee--and also a nice bar of chocolate to go with for extra energy!
It is Friday today. Hanna and I have the day off from school. She's catching up on toons, me laundry and this blog.
Our kitchen is being delivered today and will be installed next week along with other renovation finishing work. My task this weekend is to PAINT like a banshee. The girls are going with Grandma to her farm so we are freed up to have devoted time to do our house work. Our goal is to have the house complete (or in move in condition) before May 9th! That would be WONDERFUL!
Have a great weekend!
