Balloon trip

Last Friday we made a balloontrip :) It was absolutely fantastic!!! Siebren's dad (Sipke) had a voucher for a balloon trip from work, and he invited Meindert, Siebren and me to join! It got postponed a couple of times because of the weather, but it was definitely worth the wait. It was so beautiful, a very special experience! They're flying very slowly and very high. You get a great view and because the pilot can turn the balloon, you've got lots of time to enjoy it and take pictures, you know where to look:)

AUW

I hurt myself on Friday the 6th of July:( I was cleaning out the dishwasher at work when a beakerglass brok in my hand:( I am not sure what happened exactly, but it was bleeding a lot. Ina put some bandages around my finger and all seemed to be ok. But after a while it started to hurt, and the bleeding didn't stop, so I decided to go to the hospital and have someone look at it. They put two stitches in my finger and gave me a tetanus shot to be safe. In the end it wasn't too bad, no tendons or nerves got cut, and the tetanus bothered me more than the whole cut. The whole weekend I couldn't use my arm because of an inflamation in my upperarm muscles :( I wasn't allowed to bend or stretch my fingers for the last 10 days, which was annoying.

Today, the doctor took out the stitches, and now I can do labwork again :)

Altstadtfest

Lucerne had Altstadtfest last Saturday. It's a big street festival with bands playing and food and drinks being sold everywhere. It was very nice, and the weather was also very good. We were lucky, as on Sunday afternoon it started to rain heavily, and we also had some thunderstorms. The party probably would have been cancelled with that weather... At the end of the evening we went to see a salsa band. Very nice :) People dancing everywhere... I need to learn.... My hops are too stiff, I guess I am just too white to dance salsa :( I'ver put some pics on the Dutch Blog

Sunday we finally went to see 'Pirated of the Carribean, at world's end '!!! I really liked it :) I expected it to be soso, after hearing comments from other people, but I thought that they put part 1 and 2 together quite nicely! I enjoyed it :)

Wasps nest

Last weekend we found a wasps nest on Siebren's balcony :( Siebren noticed several wasps flying to the same spot over and over again. We had a look, and found the beginning of a wasps nest :( His neighbours also have on hanging off their balcony, quite a large one. This one wasn't that big yet and we managed to get rid of it...
