Dentist for Flora etc./Zahnarzt für Flora usw.

Flora and managed to do our morning walk although it was raining.  After breakfast, we did our circle time and some spelling.  After that, we had to drive to the dentist for Flora's check-up.  Like all doctors, we had to drive 45 minutes to get there.

Flora und ich sind trotz Regens wieder vor dem Frühstück spazieren gegangen.  Nach dem Frühstück haben wir Kreisspiel und Recht-schreibung gemacht.  Dann mußten wir aber zum Zahnarzt für Floras Kontrolluntersuchung fahren.  Wie alle Ärzte hier in der Gegend mußte man erst einmal 45 Minuten fahren.

Flora took these pictures.
Flora hat hier fotografiert.


While Flora saw the hygienist, I prepared a worksheet for my students.
Während Flora bei der Zahnhygienikerin war, habe ich ein Arbeitsblatt für meine Studenten vorbereitet.

Flora came back with a "goodie-bag": You can tell that Québec is not so far from here.
Flora ist mit einer "Geschenktüte" zurückgekommen.  An der französischen Aufschrift sieht man, das Québec nicht so weit von hier ist.

Back home, I made a quick fish soup while Flora did her math.

I always teach right after lunch.  Here is the view from my classroom.
Ich unterrichte immer direkt nach dem Mittagessen.  Hier ist die Aussicht von meinem Seminarraum.

After teaching, Flora and I did some world history, and then she had to leave for ballet.  I started on some mending.
Nach meinem Unterrichten haben Flora und ich Geschichte gemacht und dann mußte sie schon zum Ballett. Ich habe ein bißchen Wäsche geflickt.

And here are a few of Jonathan's pictures from Zurich.  His fellow lawyers are very happy he speaks German 😄.  He has been invited for dinner and watching a soccer game!

  1. Veronika looks like she’s having a fab time as is Mr J 🙂. I hope Miriam’s final studies are going well and Charlotte is obviously enjoying Ballet Ariel. Those free classes sound really interesting x

    1. I think they are! Miriam has a lot to do and also defend her thesis. There are several free classes you can take. You just have to sign up and take a look.

  2. I’ve signed up to access the classes. I’m hoping Piper might enjoy sharing a few sessions :-) x

  3. How is the magnolia?! Your soup looks very good . . cream, butter, tomato and parsley? What kind of fish? It's nice to see everyone's photos. They are busy bees doing good things :)

    1. All brown and sad looking, it had only one good day. It is a vegetable broth with sweet potatoes, peas, tilapia, and a dash of cream. I put some parsley in it. Yes, they are all quite active :).

    2. Poor magnolia. Oh, that does sound easy for the soup! The parsley is a perfect touch. Thanks Eva.

    3. Yes, it looks very sad now. It is an easy soup. I have combined several fish soup recipes into this one, and it is my go-to recipe with fish when I am in a hurry.
