My personal work-in-and-around-the-house-hero Matthijs has finished the toilet downstairs! After quite some setbacks (leakages mostly) everything is now in order and working properly. All that's left to do is buy and install a toilet roll holder, towel hook, soap dispenser and toilet brush. Oh, and put some toilet paper in there. ;-)

We still don't have a new car. We're waiting till tomorrow or the day after when a certain dealer opens again after his holiday. He has a Mazda Premacy that we'd like to take a look at and probably do a test drive with. We've been inside a similar car; same brand and type but with all kinds of fancy options we don't need. That one was also above our budget, but the fact that the three back seats can be taken out individually looks really promising for the cargo space. And that is what this all comes down to: we need as much or even more space than our current car has. Certainly not less.

This weekend is the annual EE mission weekend somewhere in a bungalow on a resort. Then we have a weekend with no plans yet. Amersical klusdag, possibly a birthday party and the Sumdag all on Saturday, but we've not decided what to do with it all yet so it looks like we're not going to do anything. We may be excused from the klusdag because we will be sewing 20 hooded capes. That Sunday is still empty. Weekend after that, first of February, we have the rehearsal weekend for Amersical. Weekend after that we go dancing and learning in Enschede (yay!) and that's as far as I want to look ahead now.
