are expected to be more than NZD $60,000 in the next 12 months.

Rather it was enthusiasm and spontaneity and the wide children’s eyes, which tempted me to buy a pet again. Nonetheless, within a short time as a family we have become experts, who not only knew a lot about the animal and its habitat, but also have done everything to make them feel at home with us.

12512341_1166610720018381_1404471516122007426_nNein, ich kann nicht sagen, dass die Wahl unserer Haustiere und ihr Kauf wirklich nach Plan erfolgten. Es war eher die Begeisterung und Spontanität sowie die grossen Kinderaugen, die mich dazu verleitet haben, wieder mal ein Tier zu kaufen. Nichts desto trotz haben wir uns als Familie dann innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu Experten entwickelt, die nicht nur viel über das Tier und seinen Lebensraum wussten, sondern alles Mögliche unternommen haben, damit sie sich bei uns wohl fühlen.

Red%20Bull%20Flugtag_HighlightAm letzten Wochenende waren wir die wunderbaren Männer und die wenigen Frauen bewundern, die in ihren fliegenden Kisten aus sechs Metern über eine hohe Rampe in den Zürichsee geflogen sind. Geflogen wurde nicht viel, aber die Gaudi war an diesem Juli-Samstag riesig. Anschliessend waren wir wie immer mit dem Trottinette unterwegs.

Wir rollten also von der Landewiese zum Bellevue und landeten bei Mövenpick Schifflände auf eine Glacé. Wir bestellten 2 Colas, ein Kaffee-Crème und drei verschiedene Kugeln Glacé. Dann passierte eine Weile lang gar nichts. Read More »
