"What I Cooked Today" Day 41

Today I did not cook. Jochem traveled to Brabant (basically another country) to spend the day with his friends. I don't blame him because said friends have a pool and since our teeny tiny balcony doesn't even fit a bucket to put your feet in, he couldn't be spending this day any better. I had a great day though. Jochem and I woke up early and made our weekend sandwiches with bread, loads of butter, fried eggs and lots of cheddar (besides the British, no one would eat this for breakfast every weekend besides us). I had my Spanish coffee in my pajamas on our balcony. Then we had an appointment at JoHo, our travel guru/agency, to talk shots for all of the trips we'll be taking in the future. We got a lot of useful information and two shots each - one for Hepatitis A and B and one for DTP ((Diphteria, Tetanus and Pertussis). It was all fun and games until the doctor told me that I was really stupid for not getting myself to a hospital after getting bitten by a stray cat in Istanbul. Since it was hardly a scratch and I washed and disinfected my hands and my Rough Guide said that only paranoid people worry about rabies in Istanbul, I figured I was out of harm's way. But apparently that was stupid. Since the cat bit me in my hand and I was in Istanbul three months ago I would've been crazy or dead by now had the cat had rabies, but that was scary for a little bit. Anyway, afterwards I bought some goodies because, hey, I have a job now and that means that I can treat myself to nice things. Then we had lunch at a downtown terrace. I just got home and plan to spend a couple of blissful hours on our balcony reading and drawing with the charcoal I just purchased. Then at 7 I'm having a simple dinner with my sort of boss and then we're going to the Studiekring's annual party. Enjoy this sunny day!
