25 kilometer and no phone

I started the day by rolling over at 5:15 to no Bryan beside me. This was strange to me only because a half an hour previous he had been asking me if I was alright as I was tossing and turning. I was also confused because he came to bed after I did and complained about getting up at 5 the previous night.

I walked out to find him eating cereal. HE was up at 5! (Im watching a British T.V. show, so I'm going to say...) THATS RUBBISH! But I was happy to see him up and running, even if he was watching TV. Lora was up by about 6 and told me she spoke with Arie the night previous, and had asked if Bryan had weeded yet. He hadn't, but would. After having some breakfast, we got dressed and started on the weeds together. It wasn't my job, but I like to be outside and with Bryan, so I went to help. The funny thing was, I was afraid Lora was going to tell me I shouldn't be doing the mens work and, thats exactly what happened. She laughed as she told me "Poor Katie, Thats Bryan's job, you don't need to be out there pulling weeds!" I thought it was funny. I do kind of want to show that I'm strong and am willing to get my hands dirty though. I've never been one to not want to prove myself.

Im really worried however because when I left, Alex had been out talking with Bryan, and B asked him for some pruning shears for the trees. Bryan finished weeding, and then came up because we needed to go to Culemborg for phones, a router, stroopwafels (for Chellea) and salad fixings.We came back with the router, passport photos, stroopwafels, salad stuff, and no phones!

When we rode up I noticed Alex doing some weeding, cleaning up the opposite side we were working on and asked Bryan about it. He said he didnt know why Alex was doing it. This evening I noticed the trees were all trimmed as well. I know we had things to do, but I'm really worried Bryan is going to get into trouble because he didnt do it.

Later we found out we may be able to get the phones in Utrecht though, so when we got back from Culemborg, I prepared some stuff for dinner and we got ready to ride our bikes back to Culemborg and the train to Utrecht.

Finally in Utrecht, they told us we still couldnt have phones because Bryan doesnt have a card for his Bank Account yet. They couldnt have told us this over the phone? I made sure to make a fuss over that!

We did however get a power cord for my Mac and priced out tubs for under the bed. Not bad, but still not what we expected, therefore not worth the saddle sore butts we have now. We rode 25 Km today, just under 15 miles. Im tired...

I am sitting with the oldest cat, sharky, now half on my lap (head on my thigh and paw across my belly) and half in between Bryans legs (he gets the butt and tail, lol), but he doesnt care, because hij slaapt. Eh....Sharky slaapt ook.

The Ugly Face of Beauty is capturing my attention and I want some rice pudding. But I dont want to wake my new friend.
