Shopping spree

[janestarz]

On Friday we visited the big bookstore in the center of Rotterdam where I'd ordered the two hardcovers of Robert Jordan we were still missing. We also picked up several other books. The newest Pratchett, of course (Unseen Academicals), as well as the newest from Jacqueline Carey (Namaah's Kiss). I've also picked up the four books from the Twilight series, as I enjoyed the movies and the books are reputedly better.
So that cost us a nifty € 187,45.

Yesterday we were picked up by the lovely nathreee and her charming husband and we visited the Midsummer faire in the Archeon historical park. The weather wasn't too great but we dressed warmly. Our motto was "Every victorian lady needs a druid, a samurai and an arab to protect her" or "motley".

Nathreee went shopping for hats and found two lovely hats that suited her extremely well. I just bought cheese, a t-shirt from Fairbow ("There are only two kinds of people on a battlefield: targets and archers"), six historical arrows, and of course my new lovely: a longbow.
It was ex-pen-sive and draws 35 lbs at 28".
Spending this much money on a longbow is a good excuse to go shooting more often. I hope we can still sign up for the Archon open longbow shooting this September...

After returning to our apartment they picked up some chinese food while I tidied up a bit, not having had time to do so earlier that week(end). We watched Little Shop of Horrors which Remco enjoyed far too much. *grin*
A good day and good shopping with good friends. What more can one want?
