Cultural Weekend

Last weekend I had a very interesting and varied weekend. On Friday night it started with a barbecue and the arrival of Steve, friend from England and new programmer on the MITCH project. He wanted to arrange some things before he starts next month (such as his contract on which they misspelt his name). On Saturday I had a nice relaxed day, Steve and Hans went to the Strawberry Carnival in Zundert, and I relaxed in the garden with a Pratchett (and I took a little nap as well, because that's what weekends are for).


The really cultural stuff came on Sunday. First mum and I went to the yearly market, which was crowded with pikeys and there were fewer books than we'd been promised, hmpf! Then we went to the local music school's ballet show. My sister Sara danced three pieces, and she is so good! Steve also came to the sauna/theatre, but probably not for Sara but for his gf Veronique who starred in two pieces.
After the show I rushed off to Belgium to go to the exhibition of my neighbour's and grandmother's art school, who do a photography and a general art course respectively. Why in Belgium? Because it's cheaper, and more intense, not just a 1-hour-a-week-course but an afternoon and an evening every week. I'm very happy that I have seen what my grandmother's been up to, because seeing is so much different than hearing about paintings or sculptures. From our neighbour I knew what he'd been working on for school, because I'm featuring in one of his photos ;)
