Well, its Monday
The weight has gone up to slightly under 85kg again, so I’m recording that as ‘85kg’ in the hopes that I might be able to get back down to 84.5 by next week. News manipulation, I know, but there we go.
The weekend, however, was good fun; Allie & Gareth being over was a great success and I’m glad to report that the party was also a pretty good bash too, with lots of neighbours who’ve lived in the same street for years finally getting to meet each other! I also had to explain what role-playing was to a rather drunken Dutch neighbour, who seemed to be totally taken aback by the idea of pretending to be someone other than yourself!
C finally got her birthday present of Shadows over Camelot & it was played several times; we finally beat the board only by removing the traitor from the game and even then we only won by a single sword – but it was fun nonetheless. A total failure on the Ticket To Ride Europe, but I am hoping that I can get hold of a copy sooner rather than later.
Today I have also managed to get my passport sorted out; they wanted to send it back to me by recorded delivery, but I pointed out that I had no other form of ID that would let me pick up a parcel, in the event that my passport was redirected to the local depot; the nightmare of having to explain to the Dutch postmaster that my passport is in that box there, and this is all the identification I have (waving a photocopy of my old passport) was not something I wanted to experience. So I have to go back in 2 weeks time to get my new 10 year passport sorted out. Hallelujah.
Right then. Lots to do. Like Dutch homework, housework, BNW spoilers to write, 2 German guests to entertain and a host of other things to do.
