X-treme

This past weekend was a blast! Friday night 8/8/8 did not only mean the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in Beijng, but also the night my stomach did not like a certain ride at the funfair "Foir du midi" in Brussels ...Yes, the X-treme was a little too extreme in my opinion. Luckily it was the last ride of the night and I did manage to have a few "oliebollen" before going home. All in all, it was a great night with lots of fun.

On Saturday I picked up my final furniture pieces at the store. My agenda looked like this for Saturday: waking up, 8.45am pick up uncle to go to furniture store, get back by 2pm, assemble the bed, 4pm arrival of friend, 5pm leave with friend to "a musical night at Beloeil". In the end, it pretty much looked like that, only I hadn't taken into account the fact that I locked myself out of my apartment that very morning!! Not feeling 100% yet, I have no idea how that could have happened. Anyway, it made the day a little more exciting than initially anticipated. Beloeil was great. (Isn't my new place swell? ;-))


This coming weekend I'll spend 4 days in London with another friend. Can't wait. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the early morning departure... 6 am! ...
