tommy just left, for a week at the cottage. so i'm going to be home alone an entire week. somehow it feels like i'm a teenager, with my parents going away for a week (not that i know how that feels, as my parents never go away, and i've got millions of sisters and brothers, so even if they did go away i was never home alone). i'm looking forward to being alone, drinking coca cola every day and only eating food that tommy doesn't even consider as food :)

yesterday (or yesternight) when we were just about to go to bed (teeth were brushed, pyjamas was on) we decided to go house looking. first we drove by this one, just because it was on the way. there's no way of saying this without being rude, but you just have to have a look at the kitchen of that house! it might not be the ugliest kitchen in the world, but it has to be among the top ten...

then we went to see this one, which was the real goal for the trip. i can inform you that i'm no longer in love with the house we went to see the other day (i just like it), i'm now completely in love with this new one. it was quite small, but just the kind of house i like: beautiful windows, and old looking.
lots of other great things: big garden, no neighbours (except a big sawmill... which might not be the funnest neighbour... i guess there are horrible sounds coming from there when they are working...), close to a lake, a pile of big stones (which i immediately felt is just what i need). unfortunately there were a few not-so-great things as well: the sawmill? (i don't know enought about sawmills to decide whether this is a great or an un-great thing), faaaar from work, and worst of all; they had put an ugly cement square on top of the beautiful stone at the back of the garden! the stone is ruined for ever. how could anyone do anything so stupid??  ¶ 9:56 AM
