Sunday 31st July 2022
The last few hours of July. It's been a blur of a month with 3 weeks of work and 2 weeks of blegh. Fortunately today I felt almost normal, haha yes- my normal.
We hadn't made any plans to go out and about so Angie organized her packing because she flies back down to her other job in England tomorrow and I started looking at possible routes back to South Africa in October.
I can't get over the fact there are so many travel options within a short flight from here. I was thinking about a couple of days in Egypt, then I moved to Croatia, Istanbul then Rome. Needless to say there is still no ticket booked yet but I know that Amsterdam is off the cards this time. Marlene isn't coming over this for the marathon.
I have been to Amsterdam though and spent a month in a small Dutch town of Breda in 2000 when I worked on the Eurocup football. It was long hours and I think I had one day off the whole month, but it was still a great experience. It's nice looking at places now and thinking about what I would like to see and not just where are the stadiums that I'm working at.
This afternoon the sun come out, so Pauline took her motorcycle for a spin and my brother went to the first football match of the season. The sun is setting earlier and the day is getting a little shorter. Life doesn't stand still, that's for sure.
