CONGRATULATIONS MICHIEL AND BARBARA!!!

They got married last Thursday, and gave a splendid party. Barbara was beautiful in her wedding gown, and Michiel was also radiant.

Having said that, what has happened the past few days? Lessee… Well, after the bike trip my bike squeaked a bit — not too bad, but still. Worse was that the rear tyre had a leak. Apparently a small one (the kind I really hate, because it’s incredibly hard to find and I am not that good at repairing leaking tyres anyway). On top of that, the profile of both the front and the rear tyre was roughly, well, gone. So, instead of working at it myself, I decided to get the bike repaired. Pieter found a bike repair shop in Luxembourg on the Net, and it turned out to be the one I had spotted once and was already considering :)

I took that as a sign, and so my bike is having a holiday there now. It may deserve that, but then, so do I, so I am in Zurich right now. Last visit was really nice, but a bit short, so here I am, a bit longer in Zurich, spending my time typing these words ;)

Yes, I’ll stop in a minute. Final updates: we (SaToSS-youth we, i.e. Pieter, Baptiste, Sasa and me) have had some fun over the last few days. We saw a few movies (Die Hard 4.0 — like the previous ones, but more over the top. Somewhat entertaining, but a bit too much over the top; Harry Potter 5 — Best movie of the series, but that’s because the previous movies all fail at certain points with respect to the books. Book 5 is easily the worst of the bunch, so that’s harder to mess up. But fair’s fair: it’s a nice movie, and it is the best of the series.) and had an icecream at Cafe Veneziano. There was one waitress there, whose appearance caught the eye of one member of our petite group sufficiently to ensure a pleasant conversational topic within our group for the rest of our stay.

To finish how I started this post: congratulations also to Cas & Yen-Ha with their new prodigy: Nathalie Rose Cremers; and congratulations and all the best to Sasa and Laura, who just announced their happy circumstances as well.
Last movie seen: Transformers; short evaluation: don’t go.
