Weekend

What did we do this weekend?
On Saturday we did some more painting, Alain went to the hairdresser and afterwards we went to have our pictures taken for our new identity cards.
Since the weather was so beautiful, we decided to go and have a drink on the old marketplace of Mechelen. Mechelen is the city closest to the village where we live. Also a lot of nice historical buildings to see.
At the spur of the moment we decided to have a bbq at our house. So we called Veerle and Koen (the parents of Axelle's friend Loren) and since they had nothing to do, they came a few hours later to eat with us. We also invited Rosette and Monty (our neighbors), since they also know Veerle and Koen.
We were very "lucky" with the weather because it kind of stayed dry till after dinner. How fast the weather can change!
Saturday evening was also our phone chat with Puska and Snjezana...
Hope you feel better soon Antonia! (they told us their daughter had a little accident)
On Sunday we went shopping... only a few shops are open on Sundays here in Belgium. Good thing for us is that some of them are very close to where we live. Axelle did not want to come with us and she went for a 7km walk with her friend Dieter and his parents.
When we came back from our shopping trip, the weather was nice again (it had been raining all morning) and so we decided to go for a bike ride with Rosette, Monty, Mira and Eddie. All that biking made us very thirsty and so we stopped in " 't Volle buikje" (translated "the full belly"), a new place in our village where you can have snacks and drinks.
Rosette told me the sangria (with a lot of fresh fruit in it) was very good and so I decided to have one too. This was serious stuff! I think if I would have had two, I would have been drunk! And so we ended our weekend a little bit “lightheaded”…

Today another week starts. Axelle has a playdate this afternoon and I’m going shopping with my mom in Mechelen. Tomorrow I’ll try to finish the painting in Axelle’s bedroom. Only one more wall to finish. The house is finally getting organized.
Next time I’ll try to take pictures when we do things… I forgot the camera this time!
