Me time!

Hey everybody!!!!

It took me a while, but here I am!

Last week we went into the office, we were only allowed on the internet until 4 pm.Apparantly, the office closes at 3 pm, so we actually can go online until then.So last week, Rianne went on the internet and I just checked my emails before we got kicked out.Here is a double-bill of my blog!
I'm not sure where I left my blog (as I am typing this offline) but I guess friday after I updated it!

Friday:That evening, I taught Rachael how to play poker and some other games.Then I called Rianne because she was a bit scared about flying for the first time... Poor girl =(But I will see her tomorrow! YAY!

Saturday:I showered, ate, watched tv... just relaxed a bit until Rianne would arrive!She called me when she had to fly within 1 hour, she sounded scared, but excited.She called again after she landed, she was pissed off because the security threw some of her belongings away(Chocolate spread, conditioner, shampoo, etc.)She called Richard to pick her up and I was too busy doing the dishes with Rachael to pick her up.Richard was late himself so we could pick Rianne up together.We drove to Cambridge and picked Rianne up, which was nice because I missed her for two weeks (yes, classmates, I know you have to miss everybody for 10 weeks...)She was tired so we did nothing that evening.

Sunday:I showed Rianne around on the Estate, which was nice because of the sunshine.Not really a lot happening.

Monday:Before work, Philips came to me with a list of Dahlias. The brochure was Dutch and he asked if I could translate the colours in English!I'm glad to! It's just that some colours seem gibberish to mee, so that was hard to translate! =PI could translate 'rood met een geel hart' but 'velvetpurper met honinggele toppen' was a bit difficult. =P Talking with arms and legs worked out fine. =PI edged the Parterre and the Dutch Garden today. Rachael joined us today in the gardens, she will be working here this week.Was a tad bit boring, but still, fairly ok weather.

Tuesday:I made a bamboo structure and I was busy with that the whole day!(See pictures)I worked with David(see pictures) all day, which was nice. Rianne payed us a visit.Not really a lot happening today.

Wednesday:We finished the last bit of the bamboo structure and started weeding for a bit.Then I helped planting red cabbages (Cappucio or something) in the fruit cage (yep, makes sense)Then I helped move the compost to a new border.In the evening, we went to Tesco's with
Rachael.

Thursday:Queens day! We started on the White Dahlia border today and while we were working there, Rianne called me that her friend told her that there was an attack on the queenin Apeldoorn.(In case you do not know, I live there) That shocked me and I was a bit fed up that I could not stop and go check it on the internet or anything.I called my mom in my lunch break so she could explain what happened. (It has been a week since the attack so my next reaction is from now)This is the only part of my blog where you read about this, because I think people are taking it too far with the whole 'OMG ITs SO BAD' attitude.Sure, seven people died (My condolonces) and a lot of people injured, but that doesn't mean you should throw away the 'Even Apeldoorn Bellen.' slogan, Centraal beheer Achmea!That's just over my sympathy limit. Canceling the funfair/carnaval... The queen herself is not dead!Damn. And all those crappy 'OMG ITS SO BAD' hyves that were made... I can understand that there is one made! But I've been invited to FOUR hyves!That's just pathetic.In the evening, we watched a nice movie.

Friday:We relaxed a bit and went on the internet, Rianne did everything she wanted, I just checked my emails.

Saturday:We TRIED to go to Cambridge, but the bloody bus did not turn up. TWICE. We were
quite annoyed with that so we tried to go on the internet, but the Office is closed on weekends (Bugger).

Sunday:Worked in the Car Park, it wasn't so busy.

Monday:Worked in Car Park again, Bank Holiday Monday craziness! Saw a Dutch family from Capelle a/d Ijssel =P 'Goed volk!'We cooked and the fire alarm went off! Real nice! It stopped screaming after a few minutes because we opened every window...Damn, that's a loud noise.

Tuesday:We lifted Tulips from the Parterre (looks quite boring now)then we worked at Dahlia Border again! Yay!After our usual Tuesday afternoon tea, I helped Ffanni with the washing up and we talked a fair amount of time...

Wednesday:We worked on Dahlias! Woohoo! The whole day! Lucky me!I saw the 'Master Plan' today, so I'm involved in the making of the borders now! *Feels important*

Thursday:Guess what I did? Dahlias! We discussed the 'Master Plan' because it was not on scale, so we had to check again.During lunch break, Janet brought in small finger sandwiches, because there should have been a meeting for 12 people, two turned up, so we had the sandwiches =PWhile we cooked today, the bloody fire alarm went off! From a small puff of smoke! and it went on and on and on for a quarter!We couldn't turn it off because we simply did not knew how! Then George came in to put it off.He explained to us that he gets a message on his pager and comes in an instant.Mark from the farm an Philip came in as well to see what the ruckus was about. We felt quite ashamed and embarrassed because of a bloody baguette!Sorry! ^^We watched a movie tonight...

Friday:We picked up Janet's bike from behind the Walled garden, went with it to the Farm to change height of the saddle and handlebar and now we're on the Internet!Well Rianne is at the moment =PWe actually have no proper food anymore to cook, so we'll just make what's in the flat.

We tried to arrange a shop-lift (If you catch my drift ;P) but that did not work out just yet.
So this was the double-bill of my blog, and I hope to see you next week.We'll go to Cambridge for real tomorrow (Have to cycle quite the distance -__-; )So you'll hear all about that next week!I heard from Chris, that I HAVE to go on internet next Tuesday, so I could help them with the Tulip names XD It's good to be Dutch!

So I'll ask Rianne nicely if I can go online now, so until next time!

Cheers,
