Well finely a update,

The past week was busy, hectically, crazy , and filth with humor. What else does a human bean need.

Maybe some rest and quietness, if you ask me.

We have almost ended a super large project for such a small company as we are, it was a factory, build for almost 80% in glass, we had to hire ourselves a crane to get everything on his place, but we did it   now we have almost done the painting inside of that factory but have some delay’s course we have to wait when others have done their job. An other project is also ready, a house, not a normal one, nope one who is build in (hahaha) stone and glass. The glass part begins at the basements and end up at the third floor, also a crane needed here but done also the paintings.

The Percussion group is two drum sets richer, two Tama’s a white and a black one, well don’t like the white color, but the black one is need.

The repetitions with the song “Played a Life” are making progress, we are playing it with four bongo’s, three basses, snares and little percussion, it’s okay when you hear it, no it it’s recognizable, we still have to work on the tempo and to get everything together so that we are coming close to the original song, but we ain’t far from that anymore. So there’s hope for me and my fellow musicians. An other piece of music was set under our eyes last week, and it don’t look that difficult either, it has the delicious name “Spotlight on the Drummer”,  the author must have been without any inspiration for this title course it’s written for only percussion instruments.

Now what about the highlight in the news yesterday????

The citizens of the city’s Lommel, Overpelt and Balen does have 40% more change at lung cancer as other people of Belgium.

Whola, why???  They had took some ground samples 25 years ago, it took them 5 years to get the samples, then they start investigate our land. Now after 20 year they have finished “whoopee”, and their conclusion is that there is to much cadmium in the ground, because of the lead factory’s who had being here.

Well while they were busy with the research we already started things ourselves. We dig away our land and put the fresh black one instead of it. Took grand samples ourselves and let that investigate as well, but at a different company and before the end of that year we had the test result. We have a nice and healthy backyard.

Our mayor is a bit mad, he put a lot of time and energy to get the whole city cleaned, he made sure that there is a lot of green around, so that the people can breath friendly and easy without coughing themselves to hell and now finely after twenty years there are the results. He asked immediately an other investment to be sure we are safe over an other twenty year. That good old Lowieke.       

Today was a day of cleaning ironing, washing, eating, typing, paying, and get the girls to school and back again.

Fleurtjes teacher celebrate his birthday today, “it was his birthday”, he decide to make some popcorn, for the class. Well with the help of Fleurtje and her fellow students the teacher got a bit nerves. Who wouldn’t??? He was so nerves when the time was ready to take of the pan of the stove he dropped it on the ground, the smart one whipped everything in a pan and gave it to the third/four class and started with fresh popcorn for his own class.  A miracle happened today at school, Fleurtje asked me if it was okay that she was going to Enzo his birthday next Saturday, well you have to know that our Enzo is the only boy at her class, ( they are with six girls and one boy ), and that they are in a fight at the beginning of the school year. Everyday she had complaints about him like “ He was busy again today, couldn’t stop talking and was blaming me” or “what a name Enzo Ferrari, and he doesn’t even have a Ferrari” but when they have to change their seats in class they always make sure they sit next to each other.

And now there was the question of going to a party???? Girls ahhh they are sweet when they are eight.

For now I’m gone make myself and the rest of the household some dinner.
