On my ongoing quest to get myself a (rental) house I had a group sighting on Monday for a really nice rental house in Oude Wetering. Oke, there is a lot of work to do when it’s assigned to me as the interior needs a need paint job and it needs a new floor as well. The rental company will replace the kitchen and most of the bathroom and the garden is quite a disaster but what the heck, I don’t care to turn it into something nice over time. The only catch is that the first 17 (!!) people on the list didn’t want the house so they invited the next 10 on the list of which I’m number 8… So, basically, all I need is that the 7 in front of me say no thanks to the rental company. So wish me luck and hopefully I have myself a rental house by this time next week ;)

Today, I went shopping for a new suit for my brothers wedding and it was amazing how quickly I succeeded! Right away in the first shop and basically the first suit that I tried on. It’s a great Italian designed dark gray suit and I also picked a great shirt and tie to finish it off. Only problem now is that I still have to look for new shoes to blend in as well. Have been looking for it as well today but without success. I reckon that will take a little longer but yeah, you can’t get it all that easily. Great thing of buying my suit at Suit Supply was that they give you a nice carrying bag for it as well and during the Olympics you get an official supporter t-shirt as well :)
Yesterday, I’ve been playing poker again on the monthly poker night with my colleagues. And it needs to be said that I played completely rubbish – or is it better to speak of sheer bad luck when you loose your lovely two high pairs against tree-of-a-kinds every single time that you’re all in… :S
Anyway, I had a good night out and enjoyed the watching part as well and before we started with poker we had a great meal finished off by eating fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, red berries, green kiwi’s and pure lemons. And… they tasted all nice and sweet (some even too sweet)!!
You now probably think: “wait a sec, that’s not possible, not all those fruits are nice and sweet and especially lemons aren’t sweet at all“. The only thing I can say to that is: yes they are after taking a Mysterious Fruit Tablet!!
The tablets are totally wicked as your taste buds get completely messed up by them, turning source into sweet. And the funny thing about them is that it’s just a natural product! The Miracle Fruit plant has it roots in West-Africa and the berries are nowadays also grown in Japan for fun I reckon.
The manufacturer claims that “It is the most amazing sugar substitute known to man.” and it probably is. Not sure though if it would be the ideal thing to produce cola with as it makes your coke taste really strange so the next time I will stick to the fruit only.
This year’s edition of Symphonica in Rosso will be done by Lionel Richie and I will be going to the concert with some friends. Just for the fun of it :)
Woohoo, there is a new sub site (in Dutch) on the gooos.nl domain. It can be found on eee.gooos.nl and is a small gift to my brother and his girlfriend fiancee so they can keep the world informed on there wedding plans. I recon they will use it frequently in the coming months, wedding date is set for October 16th, and I think they will keep on blogging after that as well. For the ones who are currious where the eee stands for, it stands for Erik & Esmé.
