About my weekend

Jun 12, 2006 11:55

Ssso, with the excitement of last night I could only post about the soccer match and didn't update about my weekend in general, so here goes!

On saturday we woke up early to go to fitness at 10.00 We prefer going then because then the gym is not as warm as around 18.00, it is really like a sauna in there. So we went and did some excersise which felt good, and came back home to relax a little bit.

I took a shower and went off shopping for BBQ stuffies because I was really, REALLY in the mood for it. So I popped by the Action and got us one of those disposable coal trays that work wonders and fit in our balcony without a problem, and got some meat at the LIDL. They got some nice BBQ set for 4 people (which Jeroen and I finished on our own teeheeee) and we already had two chunks of beefsteak which we marinated in oil, garlic, pepper, soy sauce, chilli and whatnot. Mmmm.

So we spent the afternoon in the balcony BBQing :D When it got way to warm out there we went back inside and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon just chilling, watching TV, etc.

On Sunday we were up super early, around 8.00, because I wanted to go test the car without traffic. It was a great idea, there were barely any cars on the road, and I was able to get more confidence and get a better feeling for how our car works in comparison with the lesson car. (I hope that answers your question about "early bird", swingfox
It was nice, although I really need to get the hang of how much bigger our car is. I kept getting on the sidewalk with the back tires because I was taking my turns too early, as I used to with the other car. So I just need to pay attention to that for now. We drove all the way to my work and practiced a bit of parking there, and then back home via the highway. I am proud of myself because I was really scared, but I did it anyways! Go me.

The highway went fine, only that our car is more powerful than the lesson car, and I don't need to push the pedal all the way down to try and reach 120KM/H. I did that and the car sped up to 150, eeks. Jeroen had to warn me about that hahahaha... So yeah, I could get the hang of the speed, the clutching, changing lanes, etc. All in all, a decent ride but I am not 100% confident on driving through rush hour. So hopefully tonight, after fitness, we will drive another round and see how it goes.

After driving I received a visit from holly_toadstool and her mum. They were near Apeldoorn so they popped by to say hi and have a cup of coffee. It was very nice, and I had the chance to giver her the souvenirs I had bought in mexico last december. After they headed on their way home, Jeroen and got ready and cycled to his parent's place, to celebrate his mom's b-day.

It was lovely weather so we sat outside, and this triggered everyone's hayfever to different extents, too bad. But we had a great time, we watched the soccer match Holland Vs Serbia & Montenegro together, and also the first half of the mexican match. All in all we had a wonderful time.

Then we came back home, finished watching the match, then went and did some ironing, sat on the balcony enjoying the last bits of sun of the day, read a bit, flopped on the couch and fell asleep till jeroen woke me up to go to bed :)

So, that was it!
