Oops.

I just caused a bit of a panic by noticing somewhere.

Never notice anything, people. Saves on the panic.

I have a lovely story to tell about my weekend ... but it'll have to wait. 'til I've got a few hours ...

[edit]

So, anyway. Weekend.

Aside from the most interesting and slightly dangerous wedding we had to attend over two days, which was fairly interesting and tiring to be honest, there also was some training, which was heavy enough in the weather we've been having. And you know, it tires you out. Also: my girlfriend wanted new furniture in the garden. That sounds weird but we've got a swinging couch now, so, you know, it sounds weird but I don't care. Because we've got a swinging couch.

So good, I mentioned it twice.

But that took shopping and construction and that was ... tiring.

Sunday there was training and when I was crashing out afterwards my mom called. If I could help put a roof on ... a roof. My brother-in-law has a slight case of fear of heights (whenever he steps unto a wet paper) so the roof was impossible for him. So, I ended up being up a roof for a good 6 hours ... which is eally tiring.

I'm at my work now. I'm tired. I think that I'll be crashing rather hard when I get home.

Oh.

Kamiel is coming over today ... we love him.

Quick ...

... update. Went shopping, bought a gift. Was nice.

That was all I wanted to say on that subject.

Also: found a CD. It was given away at Boudisque. From a band called Arkhe. Arkheonline.com seems to be their web adress. Check 'em out. Usually, free music sounds awful. This is sort of cool, actually. Weirdly enough.

Also: Italian Viking Metal is just plain wrong, people. Trust me on this.

Like ...

... yesterday.

My parents took us out to dinner in celebration of their 1 year 'other' marriage (long story, I won't even begin ...). We were taken to aplace that supposedly a decent kitchen and room for the kids (my sister's children) to play. It's called ... De HolleBolleBoom. Or something. Huge indoor play area with loads of climbing, sliding, and heights and running and balls and ... stuff.

Francisco would turn it into a grueling arena. THAT good.

Anyway ... we sit down, order, eat our apetizers, the kids get sent off to play and me and my girl joined them to have a look.

Now, I had some fun, did some things, awesome and went back to the table.

My girlfriend we had to drag back to the table every time theer was a new course to be had. Seriously. She went nuts like a child. Totally insane. Apparently, she had energy left over and some catching up to do ... and the saddest thing is, I didn't have a camera on me ...

Anyway, fun was had. And the food was okay too ....

Alright ...

... girlfriend has her holidays. And she's in need of them. I guess last year has been a bit much with, you know, WORK ... and moving house and getting in a car-accident and stuff. So, you know, okay, holidays. I gave her a big stack of magazines and a blanky and she's on the couch right now. I'm sure she'll get off again.

Though, possibly not today.

The sport season is nearing its end as well. Luckily enough, there will be enough little hours filled by My-Little-Black-Belt. Oh, and Chris continues too, unless he's off driving his motorcycle, so Aikido is sort of guaranteed, too ... I'll be as fresh as ever at the start of the season!

And pretty soon ... there will be American Football again!

Last ...

... sunday one of our bunnies died. He had to be put to sleep since there was no possibility of recovery from a rather horrible infection. Othie was a beautiful bunny and grumpy as hell, which is probably why I liked him. I realise that taking care of the hard choises is part of having pets. I also know that we are flawless in this department and always do what's right and best for the animals. But, I have to admit, this does not make it easier, nicer nor will it make us miss him less.

So. Sucky weekend.

Which to be honest is totally unfair because saturday was pretty great. Mild training and afterwards I went into Amsterdam (because I really don't go there often enough ...) and I met three very nice people from FiveAndDae.com, to wit Five, Dae (what a surprise) and someone who shall remain nameless since he listens to Tool. Come to think of it, they all shall remain nameless ... if asked I can only really come up with their nicks ...

Anyway; there was talk, laughter, a slightly tipsy and therefore rather quiet Five and it was all good fun. Incidentally this was all in rememberance of Five's birthday (kid's 24!)

So, it was great and well worth a do over.

Just, you know .... bunny.
