It’s been awhile since my last update, so I thought I’d throw some thoughts up real quick. Natalya & I shared our 1.75 year (21 month) anniversary on Thursday and it was great! Friday we went out with some friends (David, Aksana, & Boris) and went to an exotic place called the Loo that had toilet seat covers on the wall and some bathroom fixtures on the wall and some of the seats were actually toilets. We sat in some really comfortable chairs that weren’t shaped at all like toilets. I felt so tired in there because of the nice chairs.
Saturday I went to get some berries from the local open market that they always have on Saturdays but I’ve never been to, and I was impressed! I think part of it had to do with the fact that I was so hungry, but they had stands with fruit, vegetables, and flowers. I got a bright little bunch of flowers for 3 Euro (a bargain), some raspberries, blackberries, and coffee from the market. Then I had to go to a store that had the blueberries that I originally left the apartment for, which cost a whopping 7.80 Euro! Ouch, but we still have some left after eating them for two days, so they were worth it.
Then I had to go to work for an hour or so, and then we went shopping. We ended up buying some stuff, but good stuff for good prices. A brown short skirt, a purple-red (I’m not sure of the exact color nomenclature—maybe plum?) sweater, and a purple stretchy shirt with a v-neck, all for Natalya. I didn’t see anything I liked for myself, but I love going shopping with Natalya for Natalya. We also got a present for her friend whose birthday party we went to that night.
The birthday party was nice. It was outside, which might have been the last night you could have an outdoor dinner for awhile. There were no bugs to speak of, it wasn’t too cold and the food and conversation were pleasant. There was homemade pizza, a salad with parsley in it that tasted really fresh & brisk, and some hummus. There were also appetizers that had cheese and ham of various types, but I didn’t try any because I wasn’t all that hungry. Anyway, it was all good.
After the party, we went to Gecko’s for one drink and then went home and to sleep. I was SO tired!
Sunday, we relaxed. We ate at Mandy’s and went bowling with some friends. Natalya and I didn’t do as well as we usually did. I feel ok if I break a hundred, but I got 99. It was still fun. Then Aksana, Natalya & I went back to the apartment. I stayed there and the girls went out for a walk. I watched some American football. It was great. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Ok, that wasn’t that quick, and not many thoughts, more actions, I guess. I’ll try and be thoughtful in my next post to even it out.
