I suppose I should appreciate these reeds in my garden. They were the offspring of a seed that arrived some years ago. In the meanwhile it has expanded and grown and is actually has now become a nuiscance. Tomorrow I have the visit from my gardener – actually not a real gardener, but he does the work well – a friend of my cleaning lady.

In the meanwhile. today was the day after two days of my bank account transfer to a different bank, that everything is completed. It was a new experience for me dealing with the online creations of another bank, but it seems I did everything correctly, and all is present for me to use. I even had a small invoice to pay today for my son, which I attacked and it worked – not bad for a 78 year old. My only problem was logging out from the programme as I could not find the connection. However a quick phone call on the hotline, soon solved the problem and now I am ready to go. Actually it is similar to my old bank to use, but everything in a different position. I suppose I will get used to it eventually and the old bank connections will be a thing of the past.
