  • Play Padel

    • Played with same group as last week. Lost again 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. I'm thinking midday padel isn't really a runner as it takes minimum 2.5 hours (90 mins for game, then getting ready/driving on each end).

  • Short Drive

    • Drove Faith to Diemen to check out the places available on Vesteda. Diemen's really not a bad option, particularly if we can get a 3 bed apt for 1400 euro.

  • Middenweg 101 visit

    • This was a really nice visit. We made friends with the cats, sat down for a chinwag, then went through all the rooms and directed the landlord on what to leave in/take out. The place is super cosy, particularly with the fire lit. Afterwards we walked into the village and got a tea.

    • Research parking spots

      • There's one spot right beside us listed for 110 euro per month which is crazy low. Emailed them and will also reach out tomorrow

      • Find out height of van from Kieran: 9 ft 10 inches

  • Watch "Spirited" movie with Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell

    • Really really good. Likeable characters, great story line and less predictable than most movies which keeps it interesting. Really cleverly put together and engaging throughout. Probably the only musical I've watched where I wasn't waiting for the songs to be over - didn't overdo them either in length or frequency. Exceptionally feel-good, so many parts where you can't help but smile. Insta-christmas-classic.
