Family Ties and Swing Practice: A Week of Balance and Bon...

 
14th until 18th of August 2024

Sun Aug 18 2024, 7:50:30 pm CET The second half of the work week was really good, especially since Thursday was a public holiday where I live, which made the week shorter. Friday however took some time to get into, if you know what I mean. Due to circumstances ("an health alert" for mother in law), H. left for a family gathering earlier today while I am home keeping the fort going as it is a rather long drive there. After the health examination, it turned out to be under control for her, but it is better to be on the safe side.

J. studied last week and had a welcomed break yesterday for a couple of hours and enjoyed a date night with his K.. They met up and could enjoy each others company at a restaurant in the beautiful city of Antwerp. Now they will be apart for a while again while K. will travel and J. continues studying.

We spent some time oiling the hardwood floor hardwood floorThis is the product that I have to remember, it worked out great! and the wooden staircase. The result was actually great and I have to remember the product for future treatments. Yes, we really need to do it more frequently to have it better under control.

Yesterday turned out to be a great day, even though I missed being all of us together. In the evening, after J. was done studying and I done with the chores, we decided to go to the driving range to practice the golf swing. After that I went back to start preparing the dinner - time for spareribs. The night was great when everyone was reunited and we enjoyed the daily stories, the dinner and the TV series we follow together!

Today has been a nice a relaxed day, I did some contemplating over the weekly catch-up call with my parents in retrospective about life and family. I could also take time to write a bit today, some chores done and now we can enjoy the Sunday evening together. We are yet to enjoy the dinner and our movie evening, perfect ending of the weekend to be able to cope with an upcoming busy week...
