Sounds like a plan

saterday August 26

Back from a few days in Frankfurt (Germany). The training course was ok, it cleared up a lot of things for me about the computer system we use.


I want to point out just a few differences between the job in the Dutch Air Force I used to have and the job at Group EAD I have now. In case somebody doesn't understand why I changed jobs... you will now:

Time to got to bed in the Air Force........ And at Group EAD

Business trip in the Air Force.... And at Group EAD( yes it's business class)

Surroundings......


ok, ok, enough.....


Since I told my colleague Hugo from Belgium yesterday I'd like to go to the Retiro park this weekend, he didn't hesitate to knock on my door this morning at 10 o'clock to ask me if I would like to join him there... Ok Hugo, just a sec, I think I need a shower first....
The Retiro park is a very big and beautifull park located right next to the always crowded city center. From the place I live now it's about half an hour by foot. The appartment I'll move to next week is just 10 minutes away from this nice big city park.
Hugo wanted to go somewhere else after an hour, so I had some time to relax and read my book at a nice spot in the park at the water-side. I had a nice chat with a guy from Nicaragua who invited me to go to the world-famous Prado museum with him tomorrow. Perfect! Just like I planned, a nice quiet and relaxing weekend....
Then... Rita, a colleague from Estonia, called me.She asked me if I would like to join her and Piret, also from Estonia, to a concert tonight. "Ohhh, and, it's about 80 kilometers from Madrid so bring you toothbrush, we will stay overnight!"

Sometimes plans can change in a minute, especially when it's so easy to convince somebody of having a party instead of a quiet weekend..hmmm
