This weekend we went to the yearly Festiv days of the council Almkerk. Every year they organise a big event with tractor pulling, horses and other smelly animals that normally canbe found on farms nearby. We saw Wende's friend from the day care there as well with his dad. Unfortunately we were there in the morning and there were not as much spectacular tractors we wished. These were scheduld for the afternoon..
We also went to see our friends Lisette (also) and Tom with their kids Milan, Laurens and... Vera! Vera was born on the 4th of July at 15.44. Her start was not too great but she has recovered well and is now keeping them up at nights (which is normal..) It has been some time (almost a year I guess) since we saw Lisette and Tom and during that time they also moved to a different house from Leiden to Almere. It is quite a nice house in a sort of American style with a balcony on the first floor. The house was designed by Jan des Bouvrie who has designed lots of popular furtiture and houses. Las time I heared about him was because he was in jail on suspician of some sort of financial criminal act.. Anyway we had some cake and went to Hans and Grietje. I had Hans on a plate.. The restaurant is quite nice and big with a big playground for the kids. There was live music as well. Maartje and Kine performed as "grietjes". The perfomance amazed me a bit because it was so nice and sounded so professional. More proffessional than you would expect at a Pancake house.. It turned out that they are in a competition to win a prize at the Groninger student cabaret festival. They are starting a tour through Holland and I would recommend to see them some time if you get the chance.
Sunday was spent at home because Lisette had to go practise for a musical performance in Oktober. When she got back we took our bikes and cycled to a tearoom near Almkerk. Ik did not take any pictures there because it was not worth it.. Happens sometimes..
