Just some updates

Hi all,


just an update of this blog, because it was quite quiet here the last weeks...

Work is quite busy nowadays, students are bugging me constantly with interesting questions and problems, my own project is getting busier and busier with upcoming deliverables and deadlines, etc., etc.

But there are some nice things coming up too, our appartment is becoming how it should be, and we are inviting people as I speak, to come over and take a look... Yesterday, Sophie's grandparents dropped by, which was very nice, except for the thing that I hadn't decafiné for the Senseo machine...
Next weekend, we'll be out for a trip to the seaside... We are staying in an hotel in Knokke for the 25th wedding anniversary of Sophie's parents, just some relaxing and nice food :)

That's it I guess, this weekend, I'll be repairing grandpa's pc, windows 2000 gives a nice blue-screen after startup, I love it :) And sunday, hopefully, we'll get some nice wheater to go on a walk with Senne and Tobias...

Beautiful sunday

Because of a very busy week at work, I haven't had time to report on our nice sunday activity...
So here comes the report ;)

It's been a while since we had time to do something fun with my old high-school friends... So -beautiful- Vicky (She made me say that, she's quite bossy...), planned a nature-walk in Zonhoven. Her boyfriend, Peter, planned out this nice walk in "Wijvenheide" around some ponds... It took the 5 of us (Vicky & Peter, Me & Sophie and Alexander) an hour and a half to take the walk. Afterwards we planned dinner with some other friends @ the Chess Cafe, there you can compose your own wok-plate, and eat as much as you want... Very relaxing and delicious...

In between (there was some time left after the walk and before the Chess Cafe), we went to Vicky's place for a hot cup of coffee, some cake and delicacy... (Vicky is quite a good host, she really is ;) )

A very nice day!

Alexander took some pictures, but since he is still using a non-digital camera, it will take a while for the pictures to get to this blog...

I googled some pictures of "Wijvenheide" to give everyone an idea: picture 1, picture 2

Photographs Igls

I made a small website with some photographs of our skiing holiday... We went to Igls, a very small village, 2km from Innsbruck, Austria.

Photographs


We had a very nice holiday... Most of the time, it was very cold (-15), but this made the skiing slopes just perfect.
The first day, fog was so dense, we couldn't actually see where we were going, which made skiing quite adventurous. But day by day, the wheather was getting better, which resulted in some nice panoramic pictures...
We returned on saturday, we left the hotel at 9.30 am, in very snowy conditions..., which resulted in a lot of stau (traffic jam in german)...
It took us 8 hours, to drive the first 200 km. After that, things got better, and we arrived home at 1.30 am. We stopped only twice, not to loose too much time on our travel, which made the trip home a living hell.
But we made it! :)

Back to reality now...

Back from skiing

No accidents, no bones broken.

Photographs will follow soon.
