Warm, warmer, warmest!

Warm, warmer, warmest! 

So warm outside, but I'm not gonna complain! Everyone here in Holland complained about the not having a Summer this year, now we have a few days of Summer, and I love it. I rested in the morning, took it easy and took a nice nap. In the afternoon I went for a bike ride, a long bike ride. I thought I'm not gonna sit at home with this nice weather, so, off I went. 


I always wanted to bike all the way to Germany, no, it isn't that far. With a car you can be in thirty minutes in Germany, with a bicycle ofcource a bit longer. There's a canal here in the city where I live, and they say when you follow that canal all the way up East, you will pass Germany.  I didn't want to go all the way to Germany today, cause I have work tomorrow aswell. I wanted to try this route for a little while, seeing and testing how far I would come.

Here you see a part of the canal, I was still in my own city still. It was a nice bike ride, I was stunned to see the long, long bike path next to the canal.

It was quit busy aswell, I saw many cycle's on the path, mostly elderly people. 

We call this thing a 'Paddestoel,' you can see on it where you have or want to go, and how far it is in kilometers. Paddestoel = Mushroom. Cause it has the shape of a mushroom. I needed to go to Ootmarsum, still 10 kilometers to go. When I'm in Ootmarsum I will see a sign how far it is to Germany. 

My first stop, time for a apple and a bottle of water. I was thinking to turn around, cause I was STILL feeling okay, but I have to ride the whole way back aswell, tomorrow I have to work aswell. "Just a little bit further," I thought. 

Yeah, that was it for me, the point of returning. 2 kilometers of Ootmarsum, next time I will go further. It's a nice ride, peacefull and quiet, no traffic at all. And you can't go wrong if you keep following the canal. I saw alot of these little bridges what you see on the picture


Back in Almelo I saw these deers in the park, they have this weird ritual almost always on extreme warm days. It's kinda awkward to see this, cause I never have seen this before. Funny aswell. 

The Boss himself, nicely sitting in her own spot. I could see she was enjoyning the cool water, she had her eyes closed.












It's warm in the house, I have a pillow and a kitchen towel underneath my laptop, otherwise I would burn my legs. Tomorrow will be a warm day aswell, then we get some cooler days in the weekend. I had a reply back from Saf aswell, she wrote me a email yesterday, asking me how my Summer was or is. She was nice and answered my questions, just a nice and regular email. Saf asked me in her reply if we could un-block each other, and I thought, "Yeah, why not?" I told her, "Yeah, let's see how it goes." 

When I got back from Canada in January 2011 I blocked her on Facebook, Saf did the same. I needed the blocking for my healing, and I really had to focus on other important things. I have un-blocked Saf, I will just see how it goes. I'm not gonna add her as a friend, cause that won't be good for me, or for us. I want to keep it as it is, I like how it is. I might have a 'fall back' when I see her comments or pictures from her and the kids to much, so no. We can always choose to write each other a mail...
