Another long weekend
Thursday - Pasta
Last working day of this week, it’s nice to have working weeks of just 4 days. We had again some small meetings about the coming movement, and also since next week, one of my colleague’s will come to my room. We have been packing her stuff already in boxes. She has all the office supplies of our department, so a lot to move. Since she has some back problems, I helped her with packing. When I got home, I waited on Lara. As usual we did the shopping together. We decided to make spaghetti that evening. So, I cooked again, but that’s something I like to do, when I’m not alone. At half past nine, I went again online and chatted with Aga till midnight about all kind of things. At midnight I went to bed.
Friday – Free day
Yes, again a free day on Friday. Since I have still many days left, I just took three days off in the first six months, I use them now on Friday’s, on the Friday’s which my colleague is working. I got up at eleven. First I checked my emails; after that I went on working for the CWG elections. I checked if every person whom applied was also member of the Culture Working Group, and three of the nine were not members yet, so I had to send them a reminder. Also I worked on the mail, the Juridical Commission will sent, with all the persons whom can vote, and the persons whom we can ask questions to. It will be strange. For the first time, in years I will not be in this election. I decided that after 6 years of being in the Culture Working Group it’s time to leave it to the young ones ;) Not that I will do nothing anymore related with Culture, I’m still the head of the Culture part of the OneEurope Magazine. The coming issue will be printed in a week. On Sunday we have to send the source file to the printing house in Cluj-Napoca. After doing this, I had a 1,5 hour chat with Aga. Then I planned to go out, but due to the rain I didn’t went outside. I did some house work instead. And also checked some mails from work. Also I finally managed to book my flight to Rome. I will go on the first of November, and will fly back on the 8th. Since the agora of AEGEE will be in Napoli and I never have been to Rome, I decided to take this chance to visit also Rome, which was the highest city on my virtual list of cities I still want to visit in Europe. Now Berlin is the highest :) At five I went online again, and chatted with Aga till quarter past seven, since I then went to have dinner. I made soup and Lara heated up some couscous from Wednesday. Lara went before nine to her dancing lessons, while I started again from quarter past 8 till quarter till one chatting with Aga. At one we went to bed.
Saturday – New watch
Just before one I got out of my bed as my Saturday long nap. Lara was still there, her boyfriend was coming this weekend. She left as many times in a hurry, since she though that because of the train her boyfriend missed, she would have much more time. But there are many trains between Utrecht and Rotterdam. After she left, I watched the Formula 1 qualification, because with two races left it’s very exciting. After this I went to the centre to do some shopping. I finally bought my birthday present, a new Swatch watch. After that I went on some more shopping spree. First I thought about buying a book about Rome, but instead I bought a book of Robin Hobb, which is a SF writer. When I got home, a watched a bit TV before I went to by my dinner, “patat”. It was the evening of European Soccer Championships pre-games. First I watched England against Macedonia; and later of course Bulgaria against Holland. We played 1-1; we were better, but we couldn’t win. After the game, I went back to chatting with Aga. I went to bed at 1 o’clock.
Sunday – helping my parents
At one I got out of bed, as normal first checking my mails and also do again some work for the OneEurope magazine. At two the I went watching the Formula 1 race. It was really interesting. Alonso won, and Mister Schumacher didn’t reached the finish, so if Alonso will finish with the first 8 in the last race, he will be the champion. Then at 10 past three I watched somehow my, and saw that I had to leave my house already 40 minutes to be at three at my parents place to help them with removing the furniture; so that on Monday they can come to lay new carpet. I was at my parents place at 20 minutes before 4; a bit late, but still on time. My nephew and brother in law were also there. I left after five. When I got home I got the invitation of Koen, to drink with Asia something later that evening. At quarter past seven Lara came home to refresh, since she would have a meeting with her boss this evening. At ten past nine I left the house to meet Asia and Koen at subway station Delfshaven, to have a nice drink or three :) We had a nice time, at quarter past twelve we went back home, since Asia had to go to the conference the next day and I had to go to work. When I came home, I went directly to bed, before sleeping I read some pages in the book of Robin Hobb.
