"A good afternoon."

"A good afternoon."

I couldn't make the decision yet, with the train to Nijverdal or with my bicycle. It was dry and it would stay dry the whole day, there was even a chance of some sunshine, woot! I woke up at 7 this morning, I had a good sleep, though after breakfast I got tired again and felt like having a nap. And so I did. I had plenty before I would take off. Around 11 I took off, off to the train station. Yeah, it was close though, bicycle or train. The high smell of the flowers and trees made me decide to take the train. Hay fever, gotta love it. I wasn't disappointed to take the train, I actually was glad afterwards I did. It would have tired me out.First stop in Nijverdal (My ol' hometown) was a clothing store, it was the same clothing store as in Almelo. (same name, different store) The store is called C&A, probably also know in Europe, I'm not sure. I looked for a 'in between coat,' not a Summer or Winter coat, but a in between. I couldn't score in the store in Almelo, very nice coats but not my size, either to small or to large. But I scored in Nijverdal, so happy! Good size, yay! I have been searching into many stores for 'in between' coats, but most of the coats were Summer coats, ofcource... it's Summer. The price I had to pay was ridiculous low, that's what I said to the seller too.

 

The Catholic Curch from Nijverdal.

The coat was on sale, it was only 35 Euro. To celebrate I had found a coat I went the Hema, a store like Walmart, but much, much smaller. I mostly buy a coffee there, they have always a nice terrace in there. It's nice to be back in Nijverdal, I have lots of memories here. Most citizens are friendly and calm here, no craziness here. There's a nice and calming atmosphere here, though I wouldn't return here. I have seen it here, it's nice to visit this village so now and then and that's about it. I live in Almelo now, Almelo has lots of foreigners, mostly Turkish people. Nijverdal has nicer spots then Almelo, and Nijverdal has that very comfy huge forest, I kinda miss that. But like I, said I can always visit. Next stop, after the coffee, was my Mom and Dad's grave. The flowers I bought a few several weeks ago were nearly dead. I will have to buy some stronger plants. This may sound silly but, the visit to the grave feels like a kind of a visit to my Mom and Dad. There's silence and just staring and thinking, but, for me it's still a visit. I like it, I show my parents I care and love them. I cleaned the tombstone here and there and that was it, I stayed for a little 15 minutes. I returned to the centre of the village, and felt good. 

The parking lot before the train station in Nijverdal.

I figured that the just bought coat was a good price, so I could probably buy a nice scarf or a long sleeve with it. Although I visited several stores, I didn't succeed. The prices were incredible high or I just didn't like the color. I like trendy causal clothing, and not "to" bright colors, lol, I'm not a kid anymore. I returned to the Hema, cause I saw a nice long sleeve there for a low price. After a few doubts I bought it, I payed it and got a free coupon for a free coffee, just my luck, lol. I was done and returned to the train station, at the back of the train station there's the bus station. I had some ideas to visit my Aunt and Uncle too, but it was already late. (No it wasn't, lol) Allthough it was late I went anyway, the sign said I had to wait 30 minutes for the next bus towards my Aunt and Uncle's village. I bought then my last groceries first and then returned to the busses. The bus driver was nice and talked alot, all was good. It was my first time with a bus towards my Aunt and Uncle, I had no clue where the bus would stop, hopefully near where my Aunt and Uncle lived, I thought . Though the bus stopped, I had to walk a little 10 minutes, oh well. 

 

Home after a nice afternoon.

My Uncle opened the door and guided me in, it was a short visit, but a nice one. I stayed for a little hour and returned to the bus stop. My Aunt had a bunch of photos for me, photo's from mostly my Dad, and a few from my Mom, very nice pictures. The bus was nicely on time, and stopped at the train station again. I still had 5 minutes until my trian leaves. I saw a ol' friend of mine at the station, a friend from way back, he's a nice guy. Adventurous much and a little weird, lol.  We talked in the train, he was traveling some elsewhere, I had to get out in Almelo ofcource. It was a nice day, with here and there some surprising surprises. 
Loved it!!
