Early Bird Catches the Coolest Sunrises

Oh my, I have not gotten up this early on a Saturday here since my 2 weeks in F&B 6 months ago. Today we got up at 7.3o after getting to bed at 2am. But not because of partying, but for other reasons.

The last 24 hours have been very strange... First yesterday a normal day at work, then drinks with visiting friends after work. Then I was suppose to be invited for dinner at a friends house. That didn't really go as planned. Instead of dinner we decided to go buy a tacky birthday present for a friend that has his birthday today. There we got a bit sidestepped as he was arriving with a plane at midnight after some work interviews.

So to NOT fall asleep as we both were tired, we decided to go to IKEA as I needed a new wok. Said and done, into the car and drive 80 km to IKEA. We get there at 8.20 pm, in other words, enough time to have some dinner and buy a wok. Yah right... this is IKEA... instead we walk out with 5 bags each (yes, I got the wok) and dinner was no longer served.

At five to ten we realise we need a balloon for his birthday and run in summer clothes through a shopping mall. Up north it was really cold, so people were worrying for real that we were crazy. Anyway, we got a balloon just as they were closing, Mr Incredible... Ehum... next problem. How the hell do we fit Mr Incredible (one meter high helium balloon) into a small Citro?!?! Answer: between the legs... hehe...

At least I finally got some...

To make a short story long, this morning I had to go to the airport again to pick up a trainee as the others were going diving. Hence the early morning start... but now, it's not that good. Time for siesta!!! ZZZZzzzzzz
