It is time...

New blog again.

Formula, easter, mosquito

The other day I discovered that even though the Belgian Grand Prix was cancelled last year, it was reinstated this year. Furthermore, it takes place on the 16th of September. My birthday! I was of course extremely excited, until I saw the price of tickets. It may be a dream to see a race, but for multiples of my monthly salary I won't... Maybe next year. Still, with Formula 1 coming to Belgium there should be alot of related activities and parades and such, and this I'm looking forward to see.

Easter was nice, even though we only had a single holiday. On Sunday Elisa invited everyone over for an easter brunch, and we gorged on the food for most of the day. Eventually we could no longer bear the heat inside and went for a refreshing walk along the river and sat on the riverbank sunbathing for a while, before returning to Elisa's for a game of Anti-Monopoly and then Uno. All in all a great day. (For those in Iceland: +18°C)

And finally, another season first. I got bitten by a mosquito yesterday. However, I did track it down and kill it before it did any more damage. 1 - 1... but it itches like hell (at this point I feel forced to repeat: +18°C).

ID! Finally...

Finally I got my first Belgian ID card. It's still a temporary one, and I haven't even got an 'NN-nummer' yet. Only a part of it; right now it says 790916/.../.., I'm really looking forward to finding out what the other numbers will be.

But for now I have to accept that to the Belgian state I'm mostly a puntje-puntje-puntje.
