Unexpected surprises

janestarzYesterday Voltar called, and offered me his bow to lend to get my 20 lbs certificate! Which is just like him, to do such a thing, I think. *virtu-huggles Voltar* Thank you!
At the Sum I'll go for the test, hoping to find out which day the test is, and then shoot with his bow. Voltar said it's basically just knowing which way the arrow is supposed to shoot, and that it's a 2-options question: either to your chest, or away from your chest.
Well duh.
And then next year, I can shoot at events like Summoning with Birgitte!
I bought fingerbracers for my drawing hand today, which rock, and I can't wait to try them out.
NoKey and I went into the city toay, to sell some old books, buy a shitload of cloth at Schroder and then head back home. Well, the line of students at de Slegte changed my mind about the first thing, and then at Schroder I just couldn't find what I was looking for, so I walked out with...nothing! That's a first.
So then we decided to head for the Elf, and there we picked up three bags of candlewax that had been intended for the Fair, but were never picked up by the main office. So those were kindly donated.
Once home, listening to Radio Rijnmond I heard the news about a big fire in Krimpen, and the traffic being a mess. So I called my mom to warn her, which had the net effect of her and Luc coming over for dinner. Luc took the ferry at Moordrecht, to avoid the mayhem. Traffic on the regular road was closed off, all traffic into the polder was rerouted by the dike roads, which is hell (one car oncoming can stop an entire train of cars). I think they were pretty grateful I warned them. There is one bridge into the polder (in a 30 kilometers radius), excluding the ferry at Moordrecht, and after the bridge you have three roads into the polder towards Gouda (my parents live between Rotterdam and Gouda - yes, the big cheese). So if the bridge clogs up, you're doomed.
NoKey is training, so when he comes home I think I need to be pinged. Or even ponged.
*grin*
