Am home. Have lots of thoughts and emotions, but more importantly a need for food. Expect long and rambling entry (as opposed to my usual short and rambly entries) later today. Or possibly tomorrow.

ETA: Ahahaha! Okay, I just spent fifteen minutes looking for the clicky=lighter-thingie for my stove. Could. Not. Find it.

It was in the fridge. *facepalm*

You're home from what? *thinks* Wait, was this your trip to Belgium? It can't have been very long, then...

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yep, and nope. <g> Left Friday morning, arrived Friday evening in Belgium, left there this morning. Basically, just time to catch up with the family, go to the big family gettogether on my dad's side (81 people, and that's all children (my aunts and uncles), grandchildren (my cousins) and great-grandchildren), and go out for a drink with my brothers.

Eh. Do you miss them much? 81 people... well, that's a lot of people! Thank goodness you had time for a drink with your brothers. It must have been pretty busy at that family get-together!

I never had all that much contact with that part of the family, especially their whole tendency to get married and have kids young. (My brothers and I noted that we were the only ones of the grandchildren who didn't bring their girlfriends to these things. Granted, that's partially because only the youngest has a girlfriend, but still.)

We went for a drink after we got home again, had an actual conversation, too. Realisation: we're all grownups now. (Well, in the case of the youngest one, a growing-up, but still.)

It's very strange when you realise when people have grown up. They're suddenly so different from before. But it's nice, too. :-)

Welkom terug !

Geen honger voorlopig, wel dorst. Zeg, heb jij nu al een Macintosh gekocht ? Mijn Office voor Mac pakket (studentenlicentie) heeft drie installs. Ik heb er eentje gebruikt dus er blijven er nog twee over. Als jij de prijs van een leeg CD'tje wil betalen dan kopieer ik het en stuur je een kode mee, dan moet je dat alvast niet meer aanschaffen.

Vind je het trouwens goed als ik in November eens langskom of is dat niet goed voor je nano-productiviteit ?

Weet je daar trouwens hotspots zitten in Edinburgh ? 10 meter buitenshuis is het hier gedaan met de internettoegang. Da's dan misschien weer beter voor de productiviteit.

Nog niet, ik moet nog zien welke ik juist wil kopen, en hoe ik ervoor ga betalen. Apple hebben een aanbieding om op 10 maanden af te betalen zonder rente. Dan kan ik mij iets meer veroorloven dan ik nu heb, en het zou mijn Credit history helpen opbouwen, wat op dit punt in mijn leven misschien een goed idee is. Enfin, als ik in aanmerking kom voor krediet, anders moet ik mijn erfenis ineens uitgeven.

Als dat legaal is om dat op mijn computer te installeren, graag! I'll get back to you on this once I've got the computer.

November is waarschijnlijk geen goed idee, vrees ik. :/

Hotspots a-plenty hier! Inclusief in 't dichtsbijzijnde park! :D

I guess I'd have to read the eula for that. Why would they give a student three installs ? One for at home, one for the dorm and one for the classroom ? I'll get back to you on that one. If I, as a teacher (ahem, like if) can give it to two of my students (hah, as long as microsoft buys it, I'll find something to teach you) we're set.

Hee! Sounds good. And I just wanted to point out that I don't mind semi-legality, but I do want to be able to get support if needed.

Gee

One day I was sure I had bought fresh cheese and it just went missing. I have gotten mice, but to steal an entire sealed box of cheese ? I told my parents when they came over, to look for it if they could find it anywhere, not that it would still be eatable, but I didn't want it wondering around in my home on its own. So dad found it, I placed it on top of the kitchen cabinets apparently. All green and moldy ofcourse, but at least it showed up.

Placing too much in the fridge is still better than placing not enough in the fridge.

Ahahah! Luckily, I'm pretty good about food, thank god. But I frequently find things I'd thought I'd lost in odd places.
