Just Some Weekend Chat

It was quite a quiet weekend. I did not do very much and had a relaxed feeling.
Friday night nothing special happened actually. We watched some TV, a show called "popstars" its a program like "American Idol". It was the first of 8 live-shows in which 10 "coming artists" gave a live performance. I must agree this time there is a lot of quality, but having these shows every year starts to be a bit boring. Cause of competition between the networks, all networks broadcast quite similar live-shows. This channel its called "popstars" and on another channel its called "idols", 2 different programs for what actually is the same with almost the same format. Speaking of being original ... lol.
Later that night I did some nice chats about the usa elections next Tuesday. I wasnt able to talk with Bruno because he stayed at his girlfriend, but I am sure he had a good time. I always like our chats because we have several mutual subjects to talk about. To me its funny we have a lot in common in interest in music and other things.
I also was pleased to receive mail from Dale ( nice rhyming lol) . He just had installed a webcam at work and send some test results. Nice to hear his voice!

Saturday we had an appointment in the south of our country. We had planned to visit a company which will make the worktop for our new kitchen. It will be made of granite. It is from a Canadian quarry, will be transported to Italy, where they will cut it in plates and then the precise cutting will be done at the company we visited. Because its a natural product every plate can be different that is why we went there to visit and watch the plate we ordered. I already didn't knew the kind of worktop we ordered so it was a surprise. Felt good btw to see it.
Because we had a dinner at friends in the south of our country as well that night we stayed there and did some shoppings and visited the cinema to watch "eagle eye". Not a "must see" movie but we liked it.
As I said later that night we went out for dinner with friends ( I told you once we have a dining club wit 3 couples. Every 3 months we have a dinner at someone's home and the fourth occasion we go out for dinner) It was the "go out for dinner"-day so we went to a nice restaurant in Rotterdam. It was a Turkish restaurant and we had a really good meal. Just for Martin the details: entree: filled mushrooms (extraordinary tasting btw), main dish: fillet steak filled with mozzarella in a spicy pepper sauce and finally desert: Turkish delight, ice, Turkish cake and fruit. We spent almost 3 hours there and had a great time. We were home round 1 o'clock.

Sunday sometimes was a bit frustrating. Because I have a new pc (laptop actually) i thought it would be a good idea to give my mother my old one. I wanted to format my hard disk and install a fresh version of windows xp. Well, i tried tried tried but did not succeed. Some failure with my hard disk. It cost me more then 2 hours and all for nothing. My son will put the hard disk in his pc today to try it again.
Later that night we decided to get all our "still not printed photographs" get printed. So I send them by internet to the printer. There were more then 100 so it will cost a few I think.
I ended the weekend with some nice chats with some nice friends, always very relaxing.

Granite is expensive. Some of my friends have the granite counter tops and it is beautiful. Sounds like a lovely weekend.

Sounds like a good weekend except for the laptop problem!
Don't know if you have the company 'Omaha Steaks' over there but Allen and I split a promotion package they were selling consisting of fillet mignons, strip steaks, baked stuffed potatoes, stuffed sole, burgers and chocolate cake--I added a salad with blue cheese dressing and a couple of good meals!
Allen just had his bathroon done in marble and granite--looks great!

Sounds like a good plan to check out the granite before they bring it to install and it was what you wanted too.

Sounds like a busy, but nice weekend.
I bet you missed your chat with B. I know it can really be disappointing to not see our friends online.
