Blue drops
July 20th, 2008
Home alone with the cats since yesterday. Nothing much to do and it’s gentse feesten so i’ll keep avoiding the city as well. Had to go there yesterday to buy some extra dekens for my mother and brother – and any other future guest. I’ll pick them up at the airport next thursday and they’ll stay a week with us. S comes back on saturday. Then before Gk comes back on sunday we hope to visit the houSe with my mother and brother.
Hope it will get warmer by the time of our holiday as they promised it would.
Went for a walk in the watersportbaan/blaarmeersen today and it was windy and chilly when the sun was behind the clouds. When sunny it was only so-so warm. Sitting here downstairs i’ve just turned the fire on. Gotta enjoy the easiness of it while i still can. Soon it will be real fire with wood – though much more work, i must admit that’s what i prefer.
Been waking up around six in the morning for two days now. Sleep is ok all night through but it’s gone when the sun rises.
Been reading a book of Murakami in dutch (translated by the husband of one of my japanese colleagues) – i’ve read it five years ago in english but wanted to re-read it opnieuw. I like to read his books again. First time i ever heard of Haruki Murakami was via Justin Hall’s links.net site (currently offline). Justin was so mind-blown by “a wild sheep chase” – which he was recommended to read by his girlfriend Egg – that i immediately wanted to read that book too. Needless to say that was quite some time ago, back in the ninetieS (i think). And then i re-read it again – also five years ago – while traveling across europe.
