Went out for diner with a girl friend, yesterday evening. We had way too much alcohol, so this morning it was a bit difficult. But the cocktails were
so good.

Nice!
Lemme tell you about my day: It was the last day of my temp cleaning job at a company I've worked for before. It's located at about 45m cycling
away.
I was not too far from that location when I heard a loud BANG and suddenly sat a lot lower to the ground. My tyre had exploded. Timing is close for
me. I lifted the rear end of my bicycle and dragged it to my cleaning location, arriving juuuust in time.
During cleaning I got my little finger caught between a chair and a table. Nail's now blue and painful.
With 9 fingers I still had to fix my tyre. I had low hopes because when they explode like that it can mean it's beyond your repair kit.
It was a huge leak, but I had a large enough patch to cover it. I noticed the outer tyre was worn and that there was a hole at roughly the place where
the leak was. That was indeed beyond what I could fix right there, but with the patched tyre not fully inflated and a few bits of paper between the
tyres where the hole is, meant I could roll it home instead of having to lift it.
Walk home took 2 hours 15 minutes.

You've got a lot of stories like that Bonny. Your luck sounds a lot like mine.

And that's the reason why I always have spare inner tube in my bag.It happened to meonce, and I had to walk for an hour with my bike beside me,it was
really annoying so I decided it would never happen again, bought spare tyres, tubes and an air pump.

Getting up,already.  And the first
hours of work. Fortunately, the construction site where I currently work is just 5 minutes away by foot from my place, so getting there was ok, at
least.
Anyway, at the beginning of the week, on that same site, I met a postgirl I'd very clumsily tried to pick up in 2015, a few months after my then
girlfriend and I separated. She had a boyfriend back then, and refused to do anything with me, which was fine. We've met a few times by chance since
that first encounter. Anyway, I suppose the boyfriend is no longer around since she gave me her number and we get to see each other next week.

BF came over on his way to a job in Germany, so I was a bit quiet for a day. We went to the GLOW festival out here and we watched Clue together, he
helped me with my paper route and we had a lot of fun!
I still need to check if the GLOW photos worked out...

Yep. I don't know what to think. She's not the kind of girl who says yes and finds a way to eschew her engagement. She's usually quite blunt about
what she wants or not. I won't be able to see her on her round before two weeks, son ot sure If I'll ever get an explanation.

Two weeks isn't long to wait if she turns out to be compatible in the long run. Try not to over think it and focus on something else in the mean time.

You're right but the problem is, in two weeks, I'll probably be working elsewhere,so I might not see her
again before long. Anyway, she's not the only woman I have"in sight"...

If she's really interested, she knows where to find you.
Positive thinking.

Gluten free Kruidnoten. Probably not the consistency expected from wheat flour but delicious none the less. I made twenty and these are the remaining
twelve.
