Spaceship

Time to get on board and fly to the stars, dreaming in the hibernation pod.

Snowblind!

Wow... An other storm and we couldn't see anything through the windows. Only half an hour ago it was cloudy but not bad. It's gone now, only lasted 5 minutes. It's snowing again but large, puffy crystals. It won't last long, there's a strong wind and it doesn't look like it's going to settle down to the ground. Shame, I'd love it.

It's snowing!

Wow! We have a storm right here! Wow! Only this morning the skies were crystal clear and blue!

incoming bad weather but great skies

Right now it's gorgeous outside. Blue skies and puffy clouds.
The weather this morning was clear sunshine and a very cold winter but right now the wind has picked up speed and the forecast is snow. Probably this is the front I'm watching out of my window. The wind is bitterly cold and I had to turn the heating on since it is loosing a lot of heat because of the cold wind.
I am having a slight cold, I have a bit of temperature and a gorgeous headache. Now I had had some painkillers and drank vast quantities of liquid, I feel better now. I am upgrading the BlackBird to FC6. Hope it goes well.

Dunkelbier and Charlie Jade

Dunkelbier was good...
We had a lot of fun at the hotel bar, drank lots of weissenbier and later, when we figured out that they had some, lots of dunkelbier. But I managed to put some weight on as a result of the hotel breakfasts and hotel dinners plus the beer. Now I have to exercise more than normal.

I am watching Charlie Jade - it is good. I'm quite intrigued by it and I want to know how it will develop. I'm not a great fan of its camera movements and editing but the story looks good so far. I've only managed to watch 4 episode so far so there's still a lot to see.

Frankfurt

Yay! Pilseners for a week!

Belgium was great. I spent two nights at Eralp and Deniz's place and loved it. They took me to the down where the beer Leffe is brewed (Dinant) and I had white beer soup and two pints of very good beer. Then we wandered around the Dinant castle and that was fun. They also let me play with their baby, Toprak, and he was so sweet.

I spent the last day in Antwerp, with Bahadir and Lizbeth, along with their kids, Alice and Beatrice and that was good.

Then two more days in Lille and a depressing three days at home. I arranged to be sent for training for four days next week so I'll be flying to Frankfurt early on Monday morning. Fun fun fun.

Lille...

Lille... I'm here for three days, this is the end of the second day. I managed to get a WiFi connection from the hotel room but couldn't get it working on Linux so I switched the work laptop to Windows temporarily.

I got lost three times on the way. I mean, in England every road is marked with the road number (M25, A14, B1040) and where it is heading - this way you can easily follow a route without really knowing where you are. Here, the only thing you have is cities and places. After I got out of Eurotrain, I got lost and started heading south, almost immediately because the road sign was not clear. Then I realised my mistake (lost 40 minutes overall) and went back. Then at Dunkirk, I managed to miss A26 junction and lost an other 10 minutes. When I arrived at Lille, very quickly I got lost and had to ask for directions. Incredibly, the guy was working where I was heading to so we had an amicable agreement, he pointed the way, I gave him a lift.

Tomorrow - Belgium. 'ere I come!
