Birthday and the trip to Sweden

 
17th until 25 of Feb 2025

Tue Feb 25 2025, 10:30:09 pm CET So where do I start? The last couple of days leading up to my birthday, our dinner in Antwerp with J and K, the flight to Sweden, meeting up and the fantastic time with my brother N and his wife J. It didn't stop there, we travelled together up north to our parents who lives outside Hudiksvall and had a calm day all together until they left in the afternoon to be back for their kids who returned from competition later that Sunday. As planned, I stayed with my parents to spend some time and help out a little bit. Mentally, the idea was to have some relaxed time, to be able to breath and take days as they come. Maybe meet my older brother J, take the time to write a little bit and I was looking forward to just chill. I am chilling, but the days are just flying by and we are doing crazy many projects here. It is a really nice and satisfying feeling to be able to help out a little bit, talk and spend the days together.

Tomorrow is the last full day here already. Unreal! Where did all the time go? Normally the plan was that my brother J with family would pass by for a visit. But due to some emergencies with their dog this evening, it is postponed to tomorrow. So that will be one thing on the agenda for tomorrow. I hope I can do a post tomorrow with pictures. And I can not forget to check-in on the flight back to Brussels in time. Oh, and I have to check something for the 2.5 hours train trip back to Stockholm (it is already booked and paid for, but I just wanted to check something)...

I received a call from friend C who alerted me about something that needed immediate action on, one thing led to another...and all of a sudden it is 22:30 o'clock and I am exhausted. That is what clean and fresh air full of oxygen does to you. Time to go horizontal...

Did you know that..? I try to find an interesting historical event that occurred on this day. Tue Feb 25 2025, 7:31:21 pm CET Did you know that today in 1836 is when Samuel Colt Read more about it on Wikipedia. granted a United States patent for his revolver firearm.
