Time Portal Weekend: A Blend of Food, Friends, and Tobacc...

 
12th until 16th of Mar 2025

Sun Mar 16 2025, 11:24:57 pm CET It is Sunday evening and the weekend passed almost without noticing it was a weekend. I keep saying how quickly time passes. But this time I did not even notice the time passing. It was like one of those time portals in sci-fi movies where you go in and get transported to another time...if that makes sense?

It just wentand here we are Sunday evening and a new work-week is about to start again...

It was a nice Friday when everyone - all the 4 of us - came together for a dinner with our neighbour ladies. It was a delicious and fun evening with the 6 of us. It was long time since we last ordered from Gari Sushi & Wok Now and then we really like to order from Gari Sushi, it's always been great.. They delivered the nice stuff again as always!

On Saturday H. had to work and I did some small stuff that I had put away for some time. Unfortunately, I did not come around to do some 3D printing. It's been much too long since last time.

Today we were able to enjoy the sun in the garden while J. played golf with his friends. In true weekend fashion it was suddenly evening and after dinner we drove J back to Antwerp where K was waiting. They both have another busy week of internships and other plans.

Oh, I almost forgot; when we got home this evening after dropping J off, I noticed that I had received another interesting item I had ordered. It had been delivered straight to my letterbox  earlier in the evening without my knowledge. As you may have read before, one of my latest hobbies is tobacco pipes - types of pipes of course, but also lighters, types of tobacco, stands and so on. Well, a new fascination is the tobacco itself; is it possible to make my own tobacco blend from scratch? After some research I decided to order 3 different types of tobacco seeds, Virginia, Kentucky and Burley. Today I have received the Virginia and Kentucky and tomorrow the Burley. I need to get some special soil, full spectrum lights and pots...

Did you know that..? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day. Sun 16 Mar 2025, 7:10:00 pm CET Did you know that today in 1792 is when King Gustav III of Sweden Read more about it on Wikipedia. is shot; he dies on March 29.
