DIY-sunday

Last Sunday, we had a DIY-day at our home - well half a day for me, since i slept until after midday, because we went out to the "Mayor's Ball" - a great (yearly) initiative of our current major (great atmosphere and beautiful people - i always end up wondering where they would go out on regular saturdays, because that would be the place i want to go as well). This party felt a bit like a massive wedding party where everybody is happy and where there is a very strong communal feeling... very cool) and afterwards to our old time favourite "Petrol".

But back to the DIY; we painted one of our walls in olive-green and Joris hung up an old map of Europe on the wall. Our old cupboard, that i dismantled after i thought i had done it wrong the first time, was put back together - in the right way this time (which, very worryingly, looked very similar as the first time). I'll see if i can take some pictures tonight of the final result.

Afterwards, as a treat for our work, we went later at night to a comedy-night in "The Joker", which had a line-up of three stand-up comedy acts. The best act came from Johan Petit, not much a stand-up-comedian, but more a full blown actor who can be extremely funny...

oh and i will need your help - if you would be so kind to start thinking about what kind of tasks our friend Caroline can do during her 7 months in Australia for us (i'll give a wee example: "take a picture of yourself together with a koala-bear"... send all usefull things to finland@advalvas.be)

Count the number of times someone calls her "mate" ofzoiets?

Very curious to see your wall by the way!

what is a "major ball"?
nice colour for a wall, I have one that was supposed to be also green olive and it turned to be light-"pastel"-green-typical-from-hospital! never trust the menu of colours in a shop!

Hi Maria, Kristof means the 'mayor' dance. Every year the mayor of Antwerp has a party for the people of the city.

Actually, not high level at all, there were (local) famous singers and a very good DJ. There were mostly young people (our age) and it was just one big summer party. Everybody happy, smiling, dancing and drinking. It went on until 02.00 in the morning. Great fun!
