I’ve just spent a very productive hour with my feet in the portable bubbling foot spa while practicing my banjo. Kind of like a hillbilly pedicure 😉 The pedicure culture is more of a medical one here so last month I ended up buying my own foot bath for 25 euro and free delivery.

GG is watching the Feyenood – Excelsior match. The weird part is that TV channels cannot broadcast what is happening on the screen since only one channel has rights, so instead they are simply showing coverage of the 50K people in the stadium and providing the radio commentary for play by play. It’s an interesting workaround.

Tonight we are going to see Depeche Mode. However, that’s not til 9pm so that leaves plenty of time today to do other things.

Yesterday, the boys and I met up with Little C and Mika to go and explore another set of woods. We walked for around 2.5 hours in the woods which was a nice way to spend a sunny Saturday.

As for me, I survived the first week. Tomorrow my new manager is back from vacation so I imagine that we’ll have a conversation about what this new job really should be about. On Tuesday it’s the “Choose Your 4 Interns” show so I better practice asking thoughtful questions 😉

P.S. I forgot to hit Publish yesterday afternoon. Well, that saves me from having to go back and click Edit 😉 Depeche Mode was terrible… I left the concert hall after 30 minutes to go hang in the hallway/bar. What a disappointment! I did get to read all of the news happening in the world and spend a good portion of my time people watching.
