Hello everybody
First of all: Happy new year! I wish you just the best for 2008 and hope your wishes will come true.
I thought it's the best to inform you all why I wasn't in the course the last three weeks. Not that a rumour will be spread :)
My sister was for two weeks in hospital and she was in a serious situation. She's at home since last Monday, but she has to be on a watch. The last weeks were utterly exhausting. So I decided to stay at home.
I hope this isn't a bad omen for my 2008...:)
I'm looking forward to see you all after the carneval break.
Greetings
Nadine Gerster
