Wednesday 30 May 2012
We were up with the rooster call which Nicole reported had been incorporated into her morning haziness as a screaming person - more than once. Life in Neerkant was decidedly at a slower pace than the Andrews were used to but it was a welcome repite from go, go, go. Cousin Roos and Henri allowed us to do our thing in their hand built guest house. Dian blogged from 6 AM to 9 then crashed again till noon. In the afternoon Dian, with dogs Mabel and Max jumped into the back of Henri's 30 year old army jeep with Roos at the wheel and Nicole riding shotgun. They headed to a canal where swimming was allowed. It didn't take long before everyone was in and it was only later that Roos mentioned the water had eels in it and rats along the shore. At least not leeches thought Dian.
Bumping along in the jeep after their swim the trio went to a bunker from WWI that was still standing in a farmer's field. They also saw where an '80s music star lived. Upon returning to the house they found that Charles had prepared a delicious Greek salad to go with the spaghetti dinner. Henri came back from a seminar and we all sat down to dinner in the backyard patio.
As soon as the meal was over Roos went out to collect door - to - door for cancer research and other causes. Charles and Dian happily contributed when she came by and then she was off again doing the volunteer job she'd done yearly. After having the last of Charles' chocolate birthday cake with ice cream for dessert, Nicole and Dian took the dogs for a walk then konked out. Well, Dian fell in bed while the NightHawks stayed up and worked on the computers. (Luckily we had Roos' to work with too!)
