Heya folks! It’s been a bit but then, I’ve been busy 🙂 Last weekend (9-12 June), Othalla and I went to Gent to pay Zel a visit. We left Friday morning around 11 and finally arrived at Gent Station around… ehm… sixish? Something like that, it was a hell of a train trip anyway. Went out to eat that evening and then had a good time out in the city.
The rest of the weekend were fun where we got to see some of the sights Gent has to offer and enjoyed the good weather as well as the new X-Men movie. Monday morning, we left again taking the elevenish train out of Gent and finally arriving back in Groningen around 7. Ugh! Almost all the trains we were in had a delay of some kind and the weather was terribly hot so all in all, the train trip back could’ve been better. Although, pleasant company does make up for a lot of it 🙂
June 2nd was my Dad’s birthday, the old man turned 63. The family came by and we had a very nice day and evening. I really like my family (and I have a lot of them) and am always pleased when special occasions or events (like a birthday) bring the family together. Just two days after my Dad’s birthday, my uncle had his so there was another get together.
Coming weekend, the 18th, another aunt and uncle of mine will celebrate their birthdays. The 18th is not the actual date but since their birthdays are only about ten days apart, they usually pick a date in between and celebrate both birthdays together. I’m not sure whether or not I’ll be going seeing as how they’re having the event in a nearby community centre thingy and not at home. So, whether or not I’m going depends on if my parents can bring the dog. If they can’t, I’ll be dog-sitting.
The Saturday before, on the 17th, me and some of my friends will be going to a Rapalje performance in Nieuweschans. Fun!
Finally, Sunday the 25th I’ll be dogsitting as well when my parents are going to visit another aunt and uncle of mine and, if all goes well, the day after that my excavation will start. We’ll be registering the profile of a wierde in Anjum (as far as I know, I will be going down to the city to check up on the exact specifics). It’s gonna be exciting as it’s down to the original habitation layer at some points.
