The Car (tm) is working again. Though my first reaction to that horrible noise was "OMG, we need a new car" (while my second reaction was "OMG, the repair will eat up our whole tax refund we had planned/hoped on spending for our summer vacation"), the actual costs of said repair were rather cheap compared to above mentioned scenarios.

Yes, I know, it has been a while since my last post. And my original intention had been a nice "I am alive and well post" with some spring flower pic-spam.

Apart from throwing huge and hairy spiders from my balcony, I have been quite busy lately. Last week we went on our first longer trip with little fliewatuet (apart from visiting the grandparents).
