All I ever wanted …

I just found out Alanis is playing in Lokeren at the Lokerse Feesten on august 10. The day I scheduled the photoshoot with the make-up artist. It’s so frustrating to constantly either be sick, have something else important to do or be on holiday when she plays nearby. On the other hand, it’s only an hour’s drive away from Breda. And she plays around 23:00. It’s an hour drive from the shoot location to Breda, and I expect the shoot to end around 18:00 so it’s perfectly feasible. I just don’t know how knackered I am going to be. Then again, she might not come back for another four years or so.

I’ll talk it over with Arno tonight, I’ve half a mind to order tickets anyway.

Yesterday was a lot of fun, with the gang playing table top (Savage Worlds) and Brenda coming along for the first time. She fit in perfectly, and the group, I think, is better balanced than it was before. In hindsight I think I might have to fiddle some with the hindrances my character has, because she is turning into a very unlikeable bitch. Hard to play, and a nuisance for everyone around me.

When we came home last night I took a sneak peak at the little kittens at my neighbours’. They’re doing pretty well, but we still suspect mommy has another kitten inside her. Whether it’s still alive or not is a very big question (could be, Lara’s kitten also turned out to be alive after a day of labor and a cesarian). I think Angela will be going to see the vet today to have things checked out. We offered to pay half should an x-ray be necessary. So, we’ll see when we get home.

Last night I didn’t sleep well at all, as at a certain point the wind died down and the thunderstorm that hung over Breda just didn’t want to let up. It rained and thundered all night. Pretty annoying. I do like thunderstorms – the sheer power of nature always has me in awe – but an entire night? *groan*
