Stuck in Vienna, the 3 girls try to make the best of it.
We have done the vaccination against the normal flue (influenza) and will do the one against swine flue next week, as soon as it is available. The vaccine against H1N1 is not available in Ukraine, so we prepare ourselves before our return.
Our landlord confirmed yesterday, that we can prolongue our stay.
Peter managed to rebook our flights for later in November.
Now we are only waiting for the OK from the French School in Vienna that the kids may attend school here as long as our school is closed.
Yesterday, as we were listening to the news on the radio, the first 2 headlines had an Austria-Ukraine context: the first one was about the upcoming gas-crisis (Putin warned the EU yesterday, that Ukraine was not fullfilling its obligations) and the second one was about mouth covers (leftover respiratory masks from last winter are donated to Ukraine by Austria).
The girls are in Baden with Oma for 2 days and meanwhile Sylvie is working on her new project (yupeeh!).
Snow fall began yesterday, so we had to go shopping for snow boots because of our unexpected extension of stay. A friend also helped us out with kids' clothes - that we hadn't brough in sufficient quantity.
Feeling like fugitives, but in a very priviliged situation. Improvisation rules!
