Olympics starting today!

Goodmorning everybody!

Had two fruitfull days, LOL! Wednesday I did some small shopping stuff, needed to find a birthday card for Séverine, among a few other things, and home again I first started making preparations for dinner already, I found a recipe that I wanted to try out. And yes, it was a success, tasted real good.
I share it with, I hope google translate did a good job of the translation!

Rather long recipe, but it;s really worth the try! 

I wanted to do some ironing yesterday, but I didn;t! Instead I had a nice nap in the afternoon. Naughty girl! So I really want to do it today, then i will feel good again, having it done before the weekend, grin grin.

It is looking rather wet today, for now. Hmmmm, perhaps I need to go out for a short time, may be it will get dry later. We'll see if tha happens. I might need to go out for a moment, but I'll think it over again if the rain keeps on.

So today we will have the grand opening of the Winter Olympics. I think a lot of sporters will be happy it finally arrived. Already tomorrow there will be a great event to watch, if you like speed skating. There will be the 5000 mtrs. to skate and we have several real candidates for the medals. Of course a lot of Dutchies will be watching it and crossing their fingers that our men will do the trick!
Busy times ahead with all that sport on tv, so I think our videao and dvd will have to register a lot of things, that we can watch at a lter time.
Tomorrow we also have to go to Séverine's birthday party, but it will be later in the afternoon. 
Okay, I have enough to do so I better finish this post now.

 A lot of you have more than enough of all that winter weather, I think, so I have a kit for you that will bring you a bit of Spring, named simply"Can't wait till Spring".
You are really getting a treat from arlene, because she made you two magnificent quickpages!
Have a wonderful weekend, and till Monday!
