Well, my make-up weekend started very nice. You may wonder why a “make-up”? Okay, let me explain. Marion and I were looking very forward to the last weekend. It was a bit more then two weeks that we had seen each other. And I ruined that weekend by becoming sick. Sure, nothing I could have done about that, but still I felt a little bad about it. So I already had decided for myself that I would try to make this weekend a special one.
When I got home from work I first took a shower and changed clothes. I knew that Marion would arrive around that time. And I was putting on my after-shave when she arrived. So perfect timing.
It was extremely good to have her close again. We chatted a bit and had a cup coffee. But somehow we both felt a bit uneasy (not really the right word, but I cannot find the proper English word for it). Not to each other. But there has been a lot going lately. Things out of our control, but that kept us busy. As small example, that I am forced to focus over and over again on the passing away of my mother (keep getting letters from the Dutch taxes and other organizations about this).
Marion made a remark that a sauna would be nice as those are always very relaxing. So I asked my friend Google and he gave me all the information about a sauna close by.
The Sauna was nice decorated and very clean (very important). Luckily it was not very busy. I don’t like sauna’s that are very busy. To be honest, I like to have also some privacy there as well. Not all sauna’s offer that, this one does by the clever way it is built.
We enjoyed the time in sauna both and it did help both of us the relax again.
Back home we realized that we both started to get a bit hungry. Now, I discovered this very promising restaurant “Halfweg” very close to where I live. I have this app “Around me” on my iPhone and while playing around a bit with that app when suddenly this restaurant popped up on the screen. I asked around and people told me good things about it.
So I suggested to go there for dinner. It sounded as a good idea to Marion. And what people said was correct. Restaurant “Halfweg” is a very nice place to be. Nicely decorated. The people were friendly and the food tasted very well. A place I glad would recommend to others.
Anyway, during dinner we had some nice conversations. Like as about our upcoming long weekend to Scotland. But also some enjoyable small talk as things that happened during the week behind us and the fun gossips about the people we know.
Back home I opened a nice bottle of wine for us (I had a Salentein Chardonnay, a good white wine from Argentina). Relaxed on the couch we chatted some more, listened to the music. Hugged and cuddled a bit…
Now in the morning Marion is still asleep. In a little I will sneak out to buy some warm breads at the baker and make a nice breakfast for the two of us.
This weekend is already so much better as the last one where I ruined all by becoming ill….
It has been indeed a very nice evening. I loved it 🙂
