For the first time, my daughter slept through the night. 8 hours. As I pumped and cleaned everything after putting her to bed, I went to sleep 1 hour after she did but I had 7 glorious hours of uninterrupted sleep. I didn't even wake up to pee. It hadn't happened for the last 6 months, I felt like I was drunk from do much good sleep. That shit's addictive !
(On the other hand, after 7,5 hours without pumping, it was really time to do it after her breakfast bottle)
This afternoon is boardgames with friends

And interruptions to take care of the little one :)

Yay cuddles !

Soon you will be waking up because you think you heard her cry.

I double checked the number of bottles in the fridges to be sure I hadn't fed her and forgot about it but no I didn't.

99 bottles of milk in the fridge, take one down while you're asleep ...

My parents are back from their holiday of doing nothing in France so I'll have to get used to cigarette smoke again. I also applied for a handful of jobs again and surprisingly I found quite a few around Ghent which would be great. A job in Ghent would allow me to somewhat keep in touch with a bunch of friends who are still studying. I would also be able te move away from home without letting my parents know I want to get away from them ASAP which I wouldn't be able to do if I got a job closer to home.

You're on that age where you just decide for yourself if you want to move. Don't worry about your parents

Date/meeting/whatever you want to call it went great yesterday. For not having seen her in like 1 / 1,5 years, she went straight for a hug when we met up, introduced me to basically everyone of the glider club, saw her being passionate about things she loved which was amazing.
And off course there was the one stereotypical guy asking if we were already in a relationship, which she did not shoot down instantly. Probably going gliding with her next week,and she kept insisting that we should go grab a drink so we can talk properly.
When i went home we walked back to my car and hugged again, we also kept chatting over messenger until i went to sleep (had to work early) and are still chatting while I'm typing up this post.
I have a feeling this might go in the right direction for once.

Ow, I'm liking where this is going

Vlaanderen zingt in Leuven, despite the rain, was awesome

So... Anyone here been to Florence / Tuscany before? Any recommendations on stuff you absolutely need to see? Other than the classics, of course.
Looking for the hidden gems, something to surprise the wife with

I've been there, but time was rather short so there was little opportunity to visit more than merely the most important stuff.
San Gimignano, Volterra and Siena are definitely worth a visit, despite the distance from Firenze. I liked them more than the big city, but I prefer medieval architecture to renaissance art in general. And on the way there you can stop in Monteriggioni for that Assassin's Creed 2 nostalgia.

We were there few years ago, make sure you eat wild boar if you can, really good there.
We really like visiting the cemetery delle porte sant (or something like that) its on top a hill so you have a great view of the city we also did a guided medici walk what as nice .
This also wa nice :

That site has some really great things for less touristly things.
For the rest we mostly did the main tourists things and went to visit pisa/ san gimignano /... around florence

My dad and I are looking for new hobbies and we decided yesterday to get into cricket. Time to read a lot of Wikipedia I guess...

Like, a hobby that is shared? Sounds like a good idea. If your relationship allows for it. Nice :).

Worker is finishing the walls. So the entire living room is off limits. Have to wait until he's done until I can go and clean my apt (cuz we need to wrap stuff up, like advice and get the invoice and my key back etc)
So all my possessions or in the second bedroom. All I did yesterday was reconstruct my bed and watched some movies on my laptop. Same this morning (no curtains = up early)

So when is the housewarming party and is everyone invited?

TBD, I'll update in tomorrow's slow chat :p
Still some kinks to work out

Hellz yeah man, moving in the right direction xD

Slow and steady wins the race!

Unless you hear the walls go "motto, hayaku, oniii-saaannnn" xD

Zwangere was good yesterday. It was raining heavily but he didn’t care and came out toward the middle extended podium but about half the time.
Sons and Goose were good as well.
The rest of Suikerrock was quite shit. I don’t know whose decision it was, but the idiot that suggested they replace Jupiler with fucking Cristal can get fired

Going from sugar beer to proper beer? I don't see the problem.

He said cristal, not duvel.

Alrighty then.
Going from sugar pils to proper pils? I don't see the problem.

It must suck being a Ferrari fan. After missing the last 2 GP's, I can finally watch again. So that means it will probably be a boring race with Merc finishing 1-2 again. At least F1.5 is entertaining.
EDIT: Holy crap, this race is amazing! :D

edit binged last 2 days on "another life", absolutely loved it. A scifi kinda thingy, an alien device lands in earth...edit end
My head hurts a bitttt :( i think yesterday's party was just too hot. Was an ok party... last year there was an outdoor area, this time due to weather it got canceled soooo, errybody was inside... eh. A lot of magic happened to me last year at the outdoors area man... i remember laying at the dj booth... various limbs on various people xD haha, man, that was an amazing experience...
So, fine, no outdoors area but... they could just put a tarp to cover more area so smokers wouldn't get all rainy wet... then again, you'd be soaking wet from ur own sweat anyway xD. Too hot on th inside man, way too hot.
The music was realll good... hell, they played faithhhlleesss... but... that was just good from 21.00 to 02.00, from 02.00 it became a nightmare where songs weren't really mixed... they just... came one after the other... like... no... smooth transitioning... it was really... disturbing, coz u can't really dance for more than 30 seconds or something...
Soooo, we headed home. Eh. I mean, it was still lots of fun, but... also... a bit sad.
10hours to go... man, sleeping tonight will feel dddiiiivviineee hehhehe xD.
Aight. Stay chilly belgium xD.

I started it too but they lost me after episode 4 I think. Just didn't click with me, couldn't stand some characters and dumb decision making.

Auuu, for me it was, like, seriously good. At some point i watched 6 episodes straight xD

Visited Beringen mine today with the gf and 2 of my cousins for some good old uncle bonding (not to be confused with uncle bondage).
Interesting stuff, and the guide was really passionate and great with children! After that we scaled one of the Terrils and had a ton of food. Goodnight r/Belgium, I'll be sleeping like an angel!
shut your fucking face uncle fuckeeeer🎶
I read that as uncle bondage...
The only thing I registered when first looking at that was uncle bondage.
