Kayaking with the tide was very nice. We took a short break on a sandbank, collected some giant shells and went back. Not only did the wind blow in the 'wrong' direction, but the current was also going against our moving direction. The paddle back took us double the time, and we arrived just in time to returns the boats. Souvenirs : Sunburn on the knees (I forgot to cover them with anti-sunburn lotion), 2 blisters and giant shells.
Later that evening I made 'Gentse Waterzooi'. And again we had a very nice evening among 'friends' we just met.
Cheryl also gave me a quick 'tour of the house'. It's amazing what Bryan can do/make/create if he sets his mind to it. For the moment he is upgrading a van to a campervan.
You know the joke of the departmentstore for husbands and wifes?
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to
choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a
description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six
floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper
may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With
Housework.
‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand it!’
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework,
and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 31,456,012to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists
solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
PLEASE NOTE:
To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.
The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited
