Ries ordered for fathersday a rocket for his dad. His dad was supposed to build te rocket and when ready to launch it. The rocket is able to reach a hight of about 600 feet.
But Ries’ dad never build the rocket at all. He claimed he doesn’t like fireworks, as the engine is nothing more then kind of a firecracker.
Last Sunday there was almost no wind, so Ries decided to get the rocket and built it himself. I was upstairs cleaning the bathroom and every time I got downstairs all I heared was swearing and Ries calling the rockets all kinds of bad names.
After 2 hours of swearing and building Ries finally finished it.
After dinner we went with Ries’family to a large open field near the IJsselake and the soccergrounds to launch the rocket.
After about 10 mins of reorganising the ignition as the rocket didn’t got launched, Ries finally placed the ignition correctly and his dad was able to launch the rocket.
There was a lot of smoke and the rocket took off so quickly, we weren’t able to see where it went.
At the time we found in the sky it flew allready above the trees of the soccergrounds.
We were no able to find the rocket, all Ries found back was the chute wich landed in the middle of a soccerfield.
Last night i really slept very badly, so today I am very tired.
After work I was to visit Danny (my brother-in-law) as he’s got his B-day today. When I arrived after a terrible ride on my bike (there was a lot of fucking wind), I found out he and Rowena weren’t at home.
So I decided to pick up some grocaries at the supermarket and go home. In a few minutes I am having dinner, and after that I will go for a sleep.
Tonight we will line up at the postoffice for the Metallica concert tickets. The timing for the presale is really terrible for us. Ries has an evevingshift today, so when he will come home we will leave for the postoffice. Tomorrow we need to go visit my dad as it’s his B-day.
We need to go in the afternoon, as Ries has an early shift on Sunday, so he needs to go sleep very early.

Last night Ries and I found out Metallica are visiting Holland again!!! At December 6 Metallica will perform in the Gelredome in Arnhem.
Coming Saturday at 10 am presale of the tickets will start.
So tomorrow when Ries comes home from work (probably about 10:30 pm) we will line up at the postoffice for the presale of the tickets.
This time we will take some chairs with us as we probably cannot stay in the car. Also take lots of food, booze and coffee with us.
I hopw it won’t be too cold.

Today Ries called from work and told me the dynamo of the car is broken. Now the battery doesn’t charge because of the fucking dynamo.
Actually we were having some problems with the dynamo since about 7 weeks. We went to see our usual car mecanic for it, but he told us the dynamo was still ok.
And now the fucking thing broke! Our mecanic is on holidays, so we cannot go and see him. This means we need to go to a very expensive service- station to get the car fixed.
I don’t know how we will pay the bill, as we also need a new fence in the backyard. The fence we have right now is rotten I am afraid when it is storming it will be blown away by the wind.
Today Ries and I finally booked our Holiday. We decided to go to the Czech Republic, to Celakovice.
I tried to surf for some info about Celakovice, but all I could find was in Czech language. So I think I need to buy a travel guide or wait until we are there.
We rented a 2 room apartment in a luxury villa for only 28 Euros a night. The villa is about 500 metres from the center of the city.
Celakovice is about 15 kilometres North East of Praha.
I’ve heard the Czech Republic is really very beautifull and there’s a lot of culture to see.
We will go by car and I am really looking forward to it.
