^Yay!
At BF's now, he's out to his running club, while I catch up with the web... I brought my roll-up keyboard and taught him how to play the Zelda theme.

We're trying to catch a mouse. Tomorrow I'll be going to BF's sister to paint a castle on the bed of her 2-year-old son.

Yesterday I went home, after a trip that took me from Eindhoven in the far south, first to Nijmegen in the far east, then to Middle Of Nowhere all the
way up north, then back to Eindhoven. A three hour train journey... and as I arrived at the station, I found I'd misplaced my bicycle keys.
So I took the bus back home, had to walk for the last 10 minutes with heavy stuff. I called BF and bestie to see if they happened to have my keys, and
even after checking them many times at the station, I checked my bags again. No dice.
Filled in a lost and found form of the Dutch railways.
Today I phoned the Dutch railway lost & found to be sure, they really didn't have it, then I rang a bicycle repair man to ask if he could bust the
lock. He could.
Then I walked all the way to the station - about 45 minutes. At the service desk there I asked again if they happened to have my keys. Still nothing.
Walked through the station to where I'd parked it, looking for them, but no key. Triple checked the area. No key.
Well that's it. I took my bicycle, holding up the rear end with the lock and steering the front end, to the front station bike park. They hadn't seen
it either. They did have a repair shop, and I asked them if they could bust the lock.
"We don't just do that for anyone..."
"I can show my ID..."
"No we still can't..."
"What do I have to do in order to get my lock busted?"
"Well, the repair man won't be in with his tools until Tuesday."
Grabbed the bicycle and went up the stairs, walked to the nearest shop. The one I'd rang earlier. It's normally a fifteen minute walk but carrying a
bicycle on top of that meant I took twice that time. When I arrived at the shop, I was exhausted.
The gentleman of the shop was very nice. He brought my bicycle in straight away, set it on a rubber mat, grabbed an angle grinder, and after two
minutes and a lot of sparks, Bikey was free. Cost 5 euros.
Of course, after arriving home, I still had to do my paper route. After an hour and a half I felt well-rested enough to start. Of course by then it'd
already started to rain.
It was a heavy lot and it took three trips total to get it all to the houses. I got very wet. After the second load, it was time for dinner and I
decided to wait until after that.
Dinner was nice, potatoes, meat and cauliflower. After the second chunk of cauliflower I noticed something was on my plate. It took a few seconds to
sink in but there was no mistaking it... it was a dead spider.
I've had enough adventure for one day.

Whew, working at the book fair is hard work!
Currently I'm with the management books. Don't like them that much.

Ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend are gonna go live in South Africa for 3 years. Now, a part of me thinks it's cool. And a part of me thinks it
sucks.

Sorry I haven't been here for a while. I've been really busy. My father died a month ago. He was 95 and had a good innings. in the mean time I've
built an entire verandah up one side of our house after the old, incomplete one built by the previous owners collapsed on top of me.
I've ordered that Halloween box and it's on the way. I've been reduced to buying my guitar picks online since nobody stocks the ones I like in
Adelaide anymore.
I haven't posted on zappa.com since July. I still check it out occasionally but haven't been moved to post anything.
I hope you guys (Bonny, Aqua and Punky) are okay. It would be a shame if you shut this down Bonny.
