A warm, long, exciting and memorable weekend

Its Monday morning, and I am still recovering from the absolutely lovely weekend we've had.
Amy came to visit for four days, on her round the world trip, from Tokyo, and on her way to Zurich. It was great to see her and spend time with her, that didn't happen at the wedding last year. We chatted, walked, saw the sights, shopped for a wedding hat and a daypack, ate yummy things and baked in the sun. On Friday night Jeroen and I got good news, so the weekend was extra special. Saturday we had our favourite breakfast at the fresh food market and at night I had my first test run at Mmmmh. I noticed lots of mistakes, but the others were happy, so I guess it went well. The first workshop is on 26 September. On Sunday we went to Brussels for a Mussels and Beer festival... I think I am starting to appreciate mussels :-)

also met up with Karan and Alina (who are getting married in India in Oct 2006), Zoe and some of her friends. Amy had to leave for the airport at 4pm (after a mad dash to the train station, lost tickets and found tickets!) and we came back to Antwerp. The weather was still great, so we biked to Mortsel and had dinner in the garden with Jeroen's family.

A truly relaxed weekend :-)

aftersummer

while everyone has been complaining about a lousy summer we are now treated with a very summery week. It is great to be able to have dinner outside in a T-shirt.

Yesterday Parul's friend Amy arrived from Japan, oblivious to the exceptional nature of this summer-wave. Hope it stays on for a while!
