Sunday getting orientated with Boshra

I am so close really when you look at the map London to Belgium and can go by ferry to Ostende. So frustrating without funds to go and have some really good constructive time with Boshra and her family. I would like to help her settle to the new home and make an assessment of needs plus forge good contacts. They get the keys Tuesday or Wednesday this coming week. We have just spent the morning looking on the Google Satellite maps to orientate to the new address... finding out where useful places are, the souk, the discount supermarket, the mosque and we have found a modern art museum for Boshra.... it is so useful to be able to see the area for real with the google map.

They are needing help with the move so I have messaged the Belgium Red Cross to see if any of the volunteers can help. I can follow this through in the morning when the office is opened. I can speak French to help with this and Boshra also speaks some French too and is learning Dutch ... I am reviewing my Dutch speaking too.... lol got a bit of a downfall when I spoke in Dutch to the Dutch chap I was sitting next to in the Royal Academy Arts Dubai talk last Monday.... he said "Umm I can detect some German in your pronunciation...!" ohhh need to watch for this as yes I speak German too from my time living in Munich... I think I must have pronounced niet as nicht in "niet zo goed" lol I just need to be immersed in the target languages to get them sorted out with pronunciation....

I so wish I had some regular paid work to help with this project Family Link Up and so frustrating now at 64 yrs that I do not get shortlisted for job applications as I used too... To get back into clinical work I was talking with the local hospital here in Hillingdon and I really must fund a return to practice course paid for at my own expense.... or perhaps I must think of working as an HCA not a BSc RN RM. I love teaching too and seeing students blossom and you have seen from my previous posts enjoy putting educational material together for the family. I would welcome any ideas and directions. Today I will also finish a grant application.... it has been good as the grant I am applying for is based on spreading kindness in the world. I have been working though their word doc pdf to get my answers to questions prepared before loading them on the online form. This is necessary as the answer boxes have a set amount of word count to load. But then I will be at the mercy of the process to acceptance and time frame yield if successful.
