loads goin' on.. :)

alrighty.. yet another month has passed - not quite sure how, but.. here we are, already after easter, April is almost over.. wasn't it just January??

i just spent a week in Crete, on a well needed vacation, after working 7 days a week for god knows how many weeks.. arrived in Crete on Wednesday am, pretty much passed out comatose on the couch at home and slept all day. woke to life just as B was getting home from work, and we cooked together and just enjoyed being in the same country, snoozed away on the couch in front of a movie with the fireplace going in the corner.
B was off on thursday, and lo and behold, we barely left the house at all, all day.. just vegged around the house, cleaned out the closet (my SHOES had molded!!!) damn concrete house. :(

friday while B worked, i re-did my computer and other little things around the house, and saturday we bbq'd and just hung out.. :) sunday started out a bit slow, with us trying to find an open store for some easter food - and lo and behold, everything was closed.. doh.

found an open store on the base, got some food and was gonna go for a little drive, ended up being away ALL day.. drove out to elafonissi, and even though it's only 80km to get there, it still takes about 2.5 hrs to get there, due to the little crazy mountain roads.. but the drive is well worth it. :)

(i'll post some pictures when i get back home tonight. :))

monday again was spent doing absolutely nada.. catching up on laundry, sleeping on the couch and so on. :) de-molded the shower curtain and a tool bag, but.. that was pretty much it. i REALLY didn't exhaust myself this time around.. at all. :) think i even developed some cob webs. :)

b came home from work around 5'ish, and we stopped by a couple of friends of his for dinner (tacos!) and tried to bbq a large steak we had marinated from the day before.. unfortunately the meat would've been better off in a stew i think, as it turned insta-shoe leather as soon as it touched the bbq.. a shame, really, since the seasoning was great. :)

ah well.. met up with a friend for a quick second in downtown on tuesday before i left, and then drove down to Heraklion in record time.. only took 1.40 or so.. phahahaha, yeees, i've got a really heavy foot at times.. flight left ALMOST on time from Heraklion, was in Athens on time, but.. 2 hours late leaving again, due to 'technical difficulties'. no fun at all. :( wasn't back in the flat here until after midnight, and wasn't asleep until 1.30 or so.. :)

so.. not i am back here for a week, then off for sicily for a few days, back in London for 4 days and then Sweden for a while. :)

crazy.

hope you all are well!
