Fathersday

Today I had my first, and best fathersday ever. Most people wouldn’t even think about achieving anything at such day at all, I managed to do quite a lot! Here a short summary of my day:

07:15 – Woken up by Sjoerd

07:20 – Got a nice present from Sjoerd, a book about bears and fishing to read to Sjoerd. My wife promissed me a new BBQ but I’ll have to pick it myself. NICE!
07:45 – Breakfast with a nice cup of espresso, and my first homegrown strawberry! Not sweet but still one of the best strawberries I ever ate!

09:00 – Vacuumed the lower floor while Danielle was painting the front window-frame (I sanded it yesterday). Of coarse vacuuming includes putting some time in setting up a nice playlist on the streamium.

11:00 – Have a nice cup of tea AND another cup of espresso

11:15 – Read the first chapter of the SCJP for Java 5 study guide, made the chapter’s test and succeeded

12:00 – Lunch!

12:45 – Went out walking with Sjoerd

14:00 – Got ourselves some nice cold drinks

14:30 – Laid down in the gras with Sjoerd:

15:00 – Fired up the BBQ!!

15:10 – Got myself a nice cold beer

15:15 – Prepared the chicken (marinated using a couple of nice spices, garlic, soy sauce and olive oil), the vegetables and the potatos (chopped up and spiced, garlic and marinated in sweet white wine and olive oil, wrapped in tinfoil)
15:45 – Placed the prepared chicken and vegetables on the BBQ

16:00 – Made a ‘summer’ playlist (including but not limited to: Calexico, Manu Chao, Buena Vista Social Club and Señor Coconut) for the streaming and cranked the volume

16:15 – Mending the BBQ, at this point in time the food looked something like this (careful, this is advanced BBQing only put on entire chickens if you know what you’re doing ;) !):

17:05 – OK, the food was ready a bit sooner then I anticipated… but hey, it tasted DAMN good. Had a nice glass of chilled leftover white wine!

18:00 – Cleaned up the mess I made

19:15 – Put Sjoerd in bath and in bed afterwards

19:55 – Started typing this blogpost…

20:10 – Going to get myself a nice glass of red wine, and relax in the sunset while watching my olive tree move in the soft evening breeze. Aaah… this is life!

    Well… in my spare hours I’m back-watching all family guy episodes…. I’ve watched season 1 and most of season 3 (the download of season 3 went faster the season 2) and actually I like it! thanks for the tip…

    btw: Somehow Danielle doesn’t like the smirky ‘peter’ laugh which I’m developing :) .

    Huh??? My reply is gone?
    Well just disregard my previous post which went into the digital garbage dump called internet.
    What I wanted to say was, if you want any series on DVD just tell me and I’ll try to get it for you.

    I am 24/7 reachable on skype: garth_one_eye_101 or via e-mail: my lastname @ rechtenforum dot nl

    Your posts will only start to show if the first one passes the moderation queue… which only happens if I say so… as you can see: I just did ;)

    @Marian /me is on the look out for the girls from Gilmore. :P

    @Peter, when I use Firefox I get an error.

    It refers me to http://maas-frensch.com/peter/wp-comments-post.php and the errormessage reads Error: This file cannot be used on its own.

  8. Frank says:

    PS these two messages were posted with the “aid” of uncle Bill’s Internet Exploder.

    Unfortunately I have been unsuccesfull in disembowelling Windoze eXPeriment enough to completely remove the wretched mandatory Internet Exploder.
    But that’s offcourse a different issue all together.

  9. Frank says:

    Since I cannot edit my posts, here is a page which describes the problem of the aforementioned error in depth.
