Spring!

Today is the first day of spring! Yeah! Today, we are having our first meeting with government officials. 

 Here's to breakfast! The blueberry oatmeal is really, really good!

Here's a "lifesaver" that we bought by accident. There are several models of adapters for overseas, and this is the only type that would have worked in our flat. Chosen not knowing this = Lucky, lucky!

Also, one should check that discount DVDs purchased at bankrupt Blockbuster actually work on old computers. We never watch DVDs on our computer, and found out last night that our computer is too old for the DVDs! How fun is that? Right.... We tuned into Ukraine TV. There are many Arabic and Italian channels here. World news is from a different perspective. Very interesting! Fortunately, a curious mind saves the soul!

More later today! Happy Spring to everybody!

  1. Morning! I found an update that I was able to download onto my laptop that allowed me to play DVDs- http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-media-player/plug-ins . I think it was less then $10, but movies are a good thing to fill the hours of down time! I used the Corel version and it work well! Praying for a safe and speedy trip!
