What a week!

We are home again! We had a nice little week in Tilburg. We arrived on Friday about 9.30 hrs. The trip went well without trafficjam. Even Macy was quiet and sat all the trip on my lap. She was adorable.
Saturday we went to the efteling. We could sleep a bit longer than the others because they had to come from Santpoort. Arjans’ parents, Nico and Tineke, Arjans’ sister, Marischa and het boyfriend Marinus and his colleage Willem came to get us at 10 o’clock. We drove in two cars and we arrived at 11 hrs in the park. We had to go to the ER post first, to bring my second oxigentank. So we didn’t had to carry two tanks with us all day long. We brought a backpack to carry the tank. This bag has wheels so you can use it also as a trolly. We needed that because Arjan broke one of the bands when he would take the bag off. He doesn’t know his strenght sometimes….
At first we went in the Carnaval festival. Very nice, now we have the song in our minds all day long!! After that we went to birdrock. Mama, Tineke and me waited. Arjan liked it, see photo!!
After we had something to eat, we went in the pagode, a very high attraction, with a very nice view. By the way, we had very nice weather! So we could see very far away. Marinus and Willem stayed down to earth, a little bit off high-ache!! Haha.
After that Mama, Arjan and I went in the pirate ship. The rest waited for us. Marischa wanted in the python and I should go with her but my mum didn’t allow it. She was scared that I get a pneumothorax. I just forgot that the python had three times to get all around and two loopings..little scary, And there was a waitingtime from more than an hour!!! No thanks.
Then there was de Pegasus, a wooden attraction for daredevils…We all went in except Tineke. We had to wait al little time but then we had a nice ride!!Less than three minutes, Back pain, because there are no soft seats…But it was great! Very good for the bones, haha!

After we had some food and drinks we went in the piranha. Wild water attraction…We had nice weather so…We went with two boats. Marischa, Tineke, Marinus and Willem in the first and Nico, Mama,Arjan and I in the second boat. Tineke and Marisch got the waterfall and were wet, Tineke didn’t like it! We weren’t wet at all. Then we went in the bobride. Also very quick but nice!
In between the weather changed and during our dinner, it began to rain a little bit. Then we decided to do all the inside attractions. First fata morgana, and pandadream. Then we had to go to the ER post to get my second oxigentank. Althought my first tank wasn’t empty, because in the bag it stayed cool so that the tank was empty less quicker. We decided to place the other tank also in the bag, because we had to use it as a trolly and we didn’t had to go back when we leave the park to get the empty tank.
We went to the dream flight. We had to wait there for more than an hour because of a deffect. Mama and I sat down at al wall and when the others were at the door we went in the line again.
After the ride we went to the restaurant to have some drinks and buy some things. Everybody got a little tiered…we had a long day…At last we went with a train wit lights. It was already dark. It was an nice view. We came home in Tilburg at 22.30 hrs. They had something to drink and Marischa tried to fitt my jeans. She lost more then 40 kilo’s of weight and the jeans fits her so she got it.

Sunday we didn’t do much because I was very tiered. We got my peter and meter over. Gerard and Patty from Arnhem. Here a photo, together with Patty and my mum.

Monday we visited the Hornbach. I bought a painting canvas, an ablong format. And a pillbox. Well it’s for screws but I don’t eat them, haha…We went also to the center and we lunched at V&D. I bought a watchband.

Tuesday we visited Scheveningen. Even my dad went with us… We visited sealife at the pier. We saw very nice fish and we walked through an alley where the fish swim above us. They had a ford ka with all fish in it. A pitty was that I was still tiered. So I could’t walk very far. We sat down often. At 4 o’clock we went on our way to Tilburg. We had dinner in restaurant Paris. I ordered a tomatosoup but when I took my spoon in the soup I found a fly in it…jehhk. No more soup for me, thank you very much! I didn’t find anything else in the rest of my food…haha.

Wednesday we went home in the morning. At Breda we had traffic jam. So Macy wouldn’t sit quiet at my lap. So we put her into the catcaddy. I could sleep a little and whem we arrived at home we relaxed some and we needed to buy groocherys, because there wasn’t anything in the refrigerator.

Thursday the weather was very nice. Arjan went cleaning the swimmingpool ect. And I did the laundry. At 2 o’clock I had to go to my golflesson. I was already tiered, but we played hole one. It went oke. My third shot was the best. The bal got on the green, close to the hole but I missed. So I got this hole in 5 times. (it was a par 4) We may trie 6 times. Martin brought me back with the handycar because I couldn’t walk back. I was to tiered. A man helped me to put my golfbag into my car. When I got home I went to bed for an hour. Arjan went into the pool when I was gone. But the temperature of the water was only 20 degrees C. brrr..way to cold for me.
Now we know wy I 'm so tiered. In Tilburg I put the oxigen on 1,5 but at home I have 1 liter. So my luns and brestmusscles got lacy. Now it’s oke again.

Yesterday Hoekloos my oxigensupplier came to fill up my tank. He was quiet early so we decided to make a tour in our neighbourhoud. We drove an ANWB route the noordelijke overijssel route. Very nice. We came allong: ossenzijl, blokzijl, giethoorn, meppel, steenwijk, staphorst, luttelgeest. There we went to de orchideeenhoeve again. I bought three plants this time. We also had some caffee and tea with a piece of cake.
About half past 5 we were home again and we ate some spagetti.
Today we’re planned to go to the shoppingcenter to get some little things and to check if they can make my backpack. Well it couldn’t be made. Arjan bought new shoes for his work and lamps for his bike. He has to go to footbal tonight. Heerenveen vs Roda. He want to go by bike, but his lamps didn’t work and you must have good lamps on it.

When we came home I saw that my oxigentank was already half empty. He was just refilled yesterday so it’s not good. I called Hoekloos and I have to call again on Monday. So they can scadule me again to refill the tank properly. Tomorrow we go to Arjans parents in Santpoort. We planned a bbq. Hope the weather will be better…well arjan has vacation so it will be, he said!!!
