Today...

it has been a while since I update you all on the e-mails editor Bob keeps sending me. Well, today I got another e-mail. And you'll never guess what day it is (it's my Uncle's b-day) ... it's "Tell a joke day", quite ironic since today is the first in the entire week that I do not feel like telling jokes...

And since it's already half past ten in the evening I doubt I'll get in the mood ;) but hey, maybe I get a cracking idea, if I do, I'll surely let you all know! :D

Good thing Editor Bob also included a joke, however, I don't think it's really amusing though. The joke didn't even make me smile.

But there's another thing going on today... today is also "True love forever day", but I think that's another one of his jokes ;) however, the thought of love forever seems quite appealing to me, but it kind of makes me wonder too. Why the hell would you create a day for something to happen eternally, would every day therefore not be true love forever day? or is only August 16th suitable for the matter?

Hmm he included something rather worrying in his e-mail, starting on Sunday is Friendships week... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
that means I will be spammed with the mail messages of Winnie The Pooh, Me to You etc. and they will keep coming for eternity. ;)

Ok, maybe today was not such a good day to update my blog... ;)

at the playground :)

Meet the neighbours

Is it not odd how you can live next to people for years and not know them!? I realise that it's a shame that I never really knew the neighbours I have lived next to for the 21st years of my life. Now we are living in Lier for something over two years and we know most of our neighbours and I like it. The guy who lives in the downstairs flat across the street, Erik, we met him because his cat Noa ran away, and now we have a really nice bond with him. I always enjoy chatting to him. The Pakistan family who lives in the same building on the first floor are possibly the friendliest neighbours you can have, Wahid and Tahira and their daughter, whose name accidently slipped my mind. But Wahid will always come and greet us, he'll always try to help us, even if it would mean carrying our shopping whilst he's got somewhere to be. (Of course I don't let him, I'm too proud to ask for his help, but still the fact that he offers means a great deal to me.) And so we know most of the people who live quite close to us and we usually try to have a wee talk to them, to hear how things are going with them, the children, the grandchildren and stuff. And it is nice. I suggest you try that too. ;)

Because I promised

adopt your own virtual pet!

What are you waiting for!?

You know how I love and adore good links, well, here are two great ones; you really ought to go and see (one of them you should be visiting again, since I already linked a couple of times to this site ;p)
1. This one's great
2. This one's the next step after the first one.

I'm sorry about the cryptic description, but this time I won't introduce the site anymore, you should just go and see for yourselves, really, there is no better site then the first one! :D

The hype

Remember my post on El Shorty's shirt?? Well, last weekend we had a party, it was a birthday party for Icky, Tom and Jon. During the preparation Tom was wearing a shirt I had never seen before, and it looked like this;

I guess it's becoming a true hype... having your nickname on your back with 69 underneath... hmm, let's all go and get one ;) LOL
