Decorated
December 17th, 2011
Today it was sunny for a change so went out to walk in the forest over the noon. You could see it has been raining for days because at certain places the forest paths had turned into small rivers.. challenging to get through. There weren’t many people though. Ik kwam alleen tegen één eenzame jogger, enkele mountainbikers en een oudere meneer op een gevlekte paard.
Gk was on skype showing her butterfly ear-rings we bought from Hulst last Sunday. She was going to a birthday party of her cousin. We went shopping and got briquets to burn in the stove, kindling-wood and a small x-mas tree. Some food for the forest birds from another shop and lots of food and drinks for us in yet another shop. (Shocked about the bill which was almost 300 euros! Luckily I had my meal vouchers to bring it down by hundred.)
At home we had to wait on the street because our invisible garden neighbor was blocking the way. They’re emptying the garden – wonder if they’re planning to sell it after all. Their mailbox is next to ours but there’s no house on the property, just a wild grown garden, at least twice as big as ours. We saw 2 neighbors while waiting. Then surprise at our parking: a car exactly like we’re planning to buy was standing there! It was from the people who had installed the weather/temperature/whatever measuring point nearby our electricity lines.
After lunch/dinner S had to go to work and I decorated the tree.
