I left Westmalle at 9.30, ready for the big trip! Jan and Marijke led me and later us all the way. Let me explain myself, Jan and Marijke spoke the gps voice in, I can tell you that is great fun. If you can do that in your car Tom I can definately reccomend it! I was in Tubingen at 4p.m. after a great, drive Easter monday and so no traffic, great! LOVELY to see my eldest boy again! We had diner together played a game of rainworms and then I dropped him of at his friends.
Thursday morning sleeping in ... a bit. Taking it easy, waiting for our lunch to arrive. Martha ordered food from where Laci works, something typical Hungarian. Steamed bread and white cabbage and pork, nice, sort of a stew. After that we took the car and drove to Bratislava. Lovely city, we saw it from high above first, from the top of the bridge, nice!
Tonight we had a nice diner in Mechelen. Every week one of the neighbours joins me on my ride to Berchem and Mechelen. I can only take one, because the rest of the car is filled with students. Today Hans was not coming, so we didn't pick up Ewout either, and all of a sudden there was room for 3 neighbours. So Hild had this great idea that we should go all together and have a meal!!!!!!! Great idea don't you think????? The food was excellent, the waiter was divine, the company was...!!!!!!! A great night all round!
A new dessert in Marijkes repertorium. My 2 colleagues, Sonja and Katrin gave me a tiramisu book. Marijke tried one, does it not look sensational, well it tasted like that too, hmmmm
Last night Hans came home from Kortrijk, as usual he emptied his bag, did not need food and left again. Before he left I told him to take a key! At 5! a.m. this morning the phone rang... Hans wanted me to let him in! When I got up just now I found something in the garden. The poor boy must have tried sleeping in the tent..., my guess is to COLD.
Jan and I are on the computer, Hans is taking a bath, Marijke is playing a concert with the Harmonie and Maurice is in bed. Went aroud with the camera to show you the work that has been done this week... I painted Marijkes room, with some help of Marijke and Maurice. Our neighbour Fab, short for Fabrice, layed a wooden floor, fake wood, laminaat, in the attic. It looks really great I find, it is really turning into a room now. Good for you all to know, hmm...
