Yesterday after work I was I very tired. I have slept very badly the last week. This because of this nasty cold and painful throat. But my mood was good. A colleague offered to drive me home, so I would be home fast.
But even more that I would see after almost 4 weeks Marion again. This was not planned likes this. But she has been away a long weekend with Sanne (this was already planned for some time). Then suddenly she had to work the weekend before this trip with Sanne (she had to replace a sick colleague at a congress). And some more things like this.
So I was happy to go home finally. Although the working day was a good one, it felt like it lasted for ages with this very nice outlook on the evening.
I expected Marion to arrive somewhere around 19:00, but here she had told me a little lie. She had arrived already early in the afternoon.
And so my home-coming was very pleasant. The living room was on a nice temperature… Soft music was playing… Candles were lighted… and of course above all, Marion. It is always so wonderful to see her again when she has been away… and this time even more.
All was setup for a nice evening together. Marion had taking care of everything, including the last shopping’s that were needed.
As we discussed what to do for dinner it turned out that neither of us was in the mood of cooking. We decided on some Chinese food. As I had already told before, I have a very good Chinese restaurant close by.
Marion suggested that I would take a shower, while she would go and get the food. A good plan…
Marion returned with a complete Indian dinner (chicken soup, babi pangang, foe yong hai, tjap tjoy, koe loe yuk, saté, shrimps and rice). As always, it tasted wonderful.
And the nice thing of such a dinner is that you can dump everything that is left over in a garbage bag, put the dishes in the dishwasher and you are done :).
After dinner, while enjoying a very nice red wine (Fort Chevalier Bordeaux Rouge) we talked a bit what has been going on the last four weeks. We came to the conclusion that nothing really serious happened.
Cuddled together we watched the movie “Labyrinth” with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. And although the movie was made 1983, the movie stays after all these years a pleasure to watch. We managed while watching the movie to empty the bottle of wine we opened earlier.
We will take it easy this weekend and relax. Busy times ahead. But it was indeed a very enjoyable evening.
