Silly spending money day!
I was about to get my first ice-cream of this year, but decided in the end not to, way to expensive.3, 50 for a the ice-cream wanted, and it wasn't even a big one. I ended up with buying a large coffee and a nice waffle, what costed more then the ice-cream, lol. Next, I was about to buy me some new shoes, they were on sale so I bought them. Perfect and comfy fitting shoes. I ended up with paying 18 Euro's more then the usual sale off price, the sale off was only for the so called 'members,' so I became a 'member.' The store is called ANWB, "Royal Dutch Tourist Association ANWB is a Dutch traffic, transport, and relief organization." Now when I have this member ship I will get all kinds of discounts and benefits in the store, plus discounts when on vacation or during a day out or just traveling trough Holland, etc, etc.
Well, okay, for 18 Euro a year, sounds good. If I don't like it I can chancel the membership anytime. Next I was about to buy me a bathroom-brush, I can't reach my bag that well while showering, lol! Though I decided not to buy it because to expensive, 3, 75 for a bathroom brush, it wasn't even steady aswell. Later on the day I ended up buying another brush in another store, what was even 2 Euro expensiver, lol. Though this one was a steady one and I though, "Oh, well." I should stop thinking that "Oh well," lol, when I plan to buy something. Yeah I guess today was just one of those 'silly spending money' days. I feel a bit of regrets now spending that money, lol. Though my groceries were a tiny bit cheaper as usual, so yeah, "Oh well," was permitted. Very nice day today, weather was great, lots of people outside in Summer clothing.
Yeah, Summer has started! Lover it, it gives me a boost, and more energy. Today on this 4th of May we Dutch have solemn ceremonies commemorating all the Dutch who have died in conflicts and war worldwide. "Remembrance Day," to honour and remember the victims of war world wide. A nationwide two-minute silence took place at 8:00 pm this evening, at the National Monument in Amsterdam. This ceremony is usually attended by members of the cabinet and the royal family, military leaders, representatives of the resistance movement and other social groups. The two minutes of silence were observed throughout the Netherlands. Public transport was stopped,
as well as all other traffic. I grew up with this ceremony, I still remember when I was little I had to be quiet when the 2 minute silence came up.
