Hot weekend...

[inner_storm]

I enjoyed the weekend, but wow, it was hot again... Friday, my sister and I went for our annual icecream moment ;) We don't get along too well, but once a year, at the beginning of the summer, we go out for icecream, just the two of us. It was okay, nothing great, just okay. The evening ended with a thunderstorm, and so it did cool off a little.

Saturday Michel and I were invited for a brunch at our friends' place. Wim was also invited. Karen and Michaël prepared lots of yummy things and we spend until late afternoon chatting, drinking and snacking. It was great to see them all again, we used to study together at university, so now we try not to loose contact and that's working out pretty well for now. Sitting in the sun all afternoon, I did get sunburned, eventhough I kept putting sunblock on.

Today was Bram's school festival. Every class does a little performance and afterwards there are games, horserides and food. The weather was great again, so people were really enjoying themselves. Me too ;) Made some pictures of Bram's performance ;) But they'll follow...

Sounds like a relaxing weekend for you. :) I LOVE ice cream. I could eat it almost every day. :)

MMMMM ice-cream, I finished one just now.

I don't have a sister and I always wonder what it would have been like to have one. I have never been much of a dreamer myself so I don't automatically think that I would get along with her as if she was my soul-mate but often I have missed it in my life to have a person that close to me in our family that would be a younger or older sister. It is something that you two share an annual moment. When you see her, do you still feel that there is a lot that you two can talk about or are there awkward silences. There could also be a lot of room for silence between you two, but I don't know if that is the case if you two have a hard time getting along. Even though its family we can still have very different characters.

Look out for the sun :o)

We actually still live in the same house, but we don't get along at all... She's seeing a potential fight in everything, and so I try to get out of her way as much as possible. We talk, but it's not much more than "Can you pass me the potatoes, please." and "Good morning.". Just sometimes we go away together but even then it's balancing every word you say (at least for me). Just this annual icecream outing seems to go fine, but even then, I don't say what I think...

It could be that when you are actually physically removed from each other you will start to see one another in a different light. Sometimes being too close when you feel oceans apart doesn't work either.

Yes, lots of people tell me that :) We'll see, I definitely hope so, those tensions are just a waste of energy...

sounds nice, the ritual you and your sister have even though you don't always get along :)
