My second parcel arrived from Australia. Customs had opened it but it was all cool. it had an insane ammount of stamps on it coz at the post office in Adelaide they had ordered a few too many stamps and they needed to get rid of them so they came in handy on my box.
My dad likes stamps a bit too much so great care had to be taken to remove the other stuff.
In it were very prescious glass paintings made by an aboriginal artist. I was very happy to see them again. They mean a lot to me. From left to right are depicted: A Barramundi, a roo and a platypuss.
My sister gave me back my grandma's plant. I love the plant but it has been standing in one position too long. I will have to straighten it out again...
Early evening mic picked me up and we went to Mulligans for the annual Halloween party. We walked over the flower market.
Kees and Nantko.
Mic, Alex, Barry and Cathelijne.
Danny and Petra. I hardly recognised Petra. It was only when she was like 50 cm away from me for about a minute that I recognised her. Very well done.
Kees and Danny.
Paddy and Marjolein.
It was actually a very nice evening, not as crowded and drunk as I thought it would get. It was great to see so many friends of mine in one place. I missed that in Australia. Bring on new years eve :-)
The band was good too. Young blokes but they played nice tunes.
Mid afternoon I took the train to Alkmaar. Gorgeous weather.
Somebody left a ferrari at the station.
My mum made apple pie and it was delicious.
My dad had to sing in the afternoon. He sings in a big all-male choir.
We had dinner together. Cassie blogging the blogger. Check Ilse's blog for more photo's of this event.
My sister Ilse holding the enveloped with names. We were drawing names today for Sinterklaas.
After dinner it was aparently time to watch the soccer.
