Welcome to my home-cooked journal.Here you will find my rants about every day life and things that keep me busy.
In the past I have frequently written, but there's no saying if I'll continue on that path. It all depends on how busy I am.
Have fun reading my scribbles.
This Saturday we signed the purchase contract (koopcontract) of the house. Tonight at 00:00 the three day reflection period ends and then there's no turning back. We're not planning on canceling.
There's some blah concerning the mortgage. Via a mortgage adviser we're trying to get a mortgage loan at ABN Amro bank. They advertise with 'discount' on the mortgage if you get a 'young professional' package with them, so we signed up for that. But now they're saying that this discount only counts if you go to the bank yourself and not via a third person. What the hell? What difference does it make?
If we do not get the discount we'll find someone else and cancel the bank accounts, we just opened, again. No use in signing up for a 3rd bank when there's no advantage to it.
After the visit to our purchasing agent Saturday morning we went to Matthijs's mother and spend a leisurely day there. We fixed two broken clocks while we were there, had lunch in the sun in the backyard, made pancakes for dinner. We picked up a bunch of boxes for the move and some plant pots and a new supply of apple/pear juice.
Saturday evening there was a balfolk in Utrecht where we ran into Maglok, Steelweaver and Jo. We had a nice evening. Especially the second band, Decibal, was very good. We didn't stay for the session afterwards because we wanted to sleep at home and thus had to drive about 2 hours to get back to Enschede. How I long for the shorter travel time once we're living in Amersfoort!
Sunday I woke up at 10:00, did some laundry and woke up Matthijs. We spent they day filling the first boxes with books. We have about 6 to 7 meters of books! After that I re-potted some of our pepper plant seedlings. I think we got about 60 seedlings. Some of them won't make it, but I have good hopes for the pepper production this year.
Next weekend we go to the birthdays of Cora and Rene and on Sunday my mom's. Weekend after that two more birthdays (Matthijs' cousin and brother), weekend after that leviathan special and then finally some we-time again (for now..).
