Finally Home

I didn't have time to write and to be honest I didn't feel like it either. My back has been a real pain for a week now and it is not getting better. We're finally home after driving for two days. I just couldn't do it, so A. had to drive all the way back home. Lucky us there wasn't much traffic and the weather was perfect, sunny most of the time till Belgium where it started to piss down. I've been feeling exhausted lately, probably caused by the pain. The pain killers don't help much either, they give me weird dreams at night; I sleep very very restless.

Anyway, the Ibis hotel was a much better option than the Formula 1 thing we used on our way to France. Well done A.! I'm proud of you for taking care of the driving and finding us a nice place to spend the night. Even the food was excellent and dirt cheap. Thinking back, the trip seemed to take forever... We dropped by my brothers place today and spent almost 3 hours there. It was good to see him again.

The birthday on Thursday was very nice. I hope A.'s dad enjoyed the day as much as we did. We had a wonderful lunch together and after lunch we all went for a walk. Stupid thing to do for me because I was in agony afterwards walking up and down hills. I took the walking stick and that was helping a bit but still the pain was there again. Like someone said to me: you didn't drink enough alcohol to get rid of the pain *grin* I had my share that day though, trust me... *grin* I had to slow down at some point or just eat more of the excellent food.

We had a great holiday over there.
