Last weekend we had the lill goodbye thingie for K-lion. Just before we left we got a call from S&D. They decided to come as well. Upon arrival we found N already waiting for one and a half hours. To no one's surprise K had totally forgotten. S&D arrived shortly after and only about 10 minutes later the cheetah got home so we could at least go inside.
We started the party with some good ole dutch finest grown and a bucketload of alcohol.
The guest of honor, we found out later, had passed out at work (such a hard working kitty) and woke up at around 3 am finding himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. He got back, we partied on. ^^
Sunday we spend most of the time playing games and messing around with a very nifty and really small RC aircraft that D had brought along. Unfortunately it landed on the roof of a school twice. Both times we managed to retrieve it tho. Also spend some time trying to stay upright on the flowboard. K. had bought a couple of e-boards. Electrical skateboards. Now those are fun. :D
Obviously that was next on the list to try out. We went out to the mallarea, which was closed unfortunately. But the outside bikelane had enough possibilities to mess about.
The boards handle fairly well. Takes some getting used to, but we were zooming around in no time. Even S, who is a skateboard/flowboard/anyboard virgin was going downhill 'round the corner in just a few practice runs.
Now the fun thing about e-boards is that it's just as easy to zoom back up that hill. Not too steep a gradient, but hey, this is NL. :)
It's almost made for no-hill Holland. And of course there's nothing more fun than watching the faces of people that see you riding a skateboard uphill, while lazily slurping a milkshake. They're not noisy at all, so people only come to the conclusion there must be an engine in it after they made sure they're not drunk. ;)
Then it was time to go hunt for cans. With an airrifle of course. >:)
We had a very safe setup, but of course you're not allowed to hang around on a buildingsite. Going about with torches we set up a nice shooting range. Firing the first shot we figured an airrifle does make quite a noise still and would alarm neighbouring houses.
A couple of more shots were taken and we picked everything up and moved out. Upon leaving the buildingsite we were met with a torch in the face and a friendly but authorative voice asking whether we'd been hanging around on the grounds. Easy conclusion this was either security or the police, kinda hard to figure out when there's a bloody torch shining in your eyes.
Apparently looking for people with torches (which we had turned off and put in our pockets by now) the man remarked "well you don't have torches, I wish you a goodnight". A little further on we passed a policecar with it's spotlight on the buildingsite, so it wasn't security then...
And then it was time to head back home, by now it was a quarter to one am, half an hour to get home and it's a working day today.
Oh well, one more week before my holiday starts. :D
