Sleeping in a tea daze.
After work on Friday I went to get some vlaamse frites to fill my stomach before I started introducing it to some cold Heineken. There’s nothing like vlaamse frites after a hard days work when you are going to have a few biertjes with your friends.
I met up with Lizzie at the pub as we had agreed on and we sat there enjoying some beer and having a good time with our colleagues. Such a large company so I’m kind of meeting new people everyday. It’s great meeting new people time to time. Make life interesting and fun.
After a few beers and laughs we decided to grab a snack at Wok To Go before we headed home to my place to get totally lazy for the weekend. When we got home just slacked off and watched some TV series and talked. You need weekends where you don’t go out and get totally smashed, but where you just have a few beers and just take it easy the rest of the night, or even weekend.
We woke up earlier than expected, but really didn’t mind as we just stayed in bed chatting for a while. When we managed to crawl out of bed we went outside and I showed Lizzie around in Haarlem and took her to the Natuurwinkel to get some food for us during the rest of the weekend.
She even found some really cool Nudie Jeans and some totally awesome DC shoes.
After we got home, dodging rain and hail, we had a small lunch and just slacked off for a bit before going to AH to get a 6 pack of Hertog Jan (best Dutch beer so far).
Later on we cooked a truly yummy chickpea curry with spinach and some mixed rice. We had a few beers and enjoy two films that night. Staying up late and just having fun. Eating good food. What more can you ask for?
On Sunday we woke up to the sun lighting up the whole flat, even if all the blinds were down. After staying in bed for a while just being lazy we got a bit worried as it started to rain a bit, but it was just a small shower, luckily. I suggested we should grab the chance and go to Zandvoort aan Zee.
At the train station we learned that they were working on the tracks so we had to take the bus. We almost missed it, but because of the nice NS staff stopped the bus for us so we didn’t have to wait for the bus another 30 minutes. We even got to ride the bus for free.
First thing we did in Zandvoort were to find a place were I could eat too.
I’m so grateful for people we respect my IBS and that I’m vegan. That means a lot too me.
We found a nice Italian restaurant. Lizzie got tagliatelle with some nice creamy sauce and salmon. Even if I’m vegan it looked really nice. I got the pizza without cheese. It was amazing. Best pizza I’ve had in years.
After filling our tummies with delicious food and an espresso each we went to the beach to enjoy the sun and the sea. Even if it was windy it was such a nice walk on the beach.
After we got home from Zandvoort we just crashed in the TV chairs and watched TV. For some strange reason the TV has this strange hypnotic effect. We didn’t go to bed until around 11 pm or 12 am. Which resulted in us snoozing like crazy this morning.
This weekend has been totally awesome. I haven’t had so much fun for ages. So we actually already on Saturday decided to repeat this weekend this up coming weekend, but at Lizzie’s place. Two amazing weekends in a row, is that possible?
Ooohhh yyyeeaahhh.
ps: I’m getting a tattoo in the end of this month.
