First Time Today

I think this is the first time that I have sat down for an extended period today.  I've been out buying hotdogs and camembert and juice and tomatoes.  Lots of tomatoes.  Starting today we have a crazy hectic week.  Today = buy enough groceries to last til Monday (there's lots of visitors coming and public holidays when the shops will be shut) on my bike, this means quite a few trips, drinks with Andrew's friends (I've never been so thankful for a delayed flight, they'll be late so we can't do this now, a shame but nice to have some time to actually eat tea), get the house spic and span, make last minute aprons and badge things for Queen's Day, meeting at Sonja's about the 48 hour film project.  Tuesday = more grocery shopping (including orange tulips for QD!), meet up with the wife of Andrew's friend and show her around, hang with Rebecca in the afternoon and finalise all QD stuff, dinner at ours with Joshua, small group.  Wednesday = more touristy stuff of Amsterdam, finish off all QD stuff and have it ready to go out the door, ring Trinny!, make sure we have enough bedding for guests, dinner at ours with Andrew's friend, wife and another colleague, maybe another friend of Andrew's from Eindhoven, see them off to the train station and then wait for Sarah and Dave to arrive and then go wandering around Amsterdam to celebrate Queen's Night (bands, parties, craziness).  Thursday: get up EARLY to get our stall spot, set it up, sell, sell, sell, collapse into bed at some point after all the craziness.  And then it's onto Friday when the 48 hour film project starts, so our house will see people coming and going at all stages, and I'm catering.  I'm looking forward to uni starting again so I can have a break!  But it's going to be good, it's going to be real good.
