Let me tell you about my weekend so far.... Friday night I go check on the new house I'm building (had been in Berlin in meetings for a couple of days) and I notice my entire basement is FLOODED... :cry :eek
Belgium has been hit with torrential rains and storms lately, and the ground is utterly saturated. Wheather report indicates we'll get more of the same for days to come :cry Stupid country. Rain and taxes is all you get.
Nothing I can do right there and then as it's pitch dark and the place does not have electricity yet.
So I go home and try and sleep, and fail miserably due to worrying about the 5 inches of muddy water in my basement & garage... :cry
So I get up at 6.30AM today, and head out to the new place. Spend 7 hours straight digging ditches so the water can get out to the street, then start to mop up.
All our lighting was in that basement waiting to be installed... 17,000 euros worth... I hope it's not all ruined :cry
This afternoon was better. Went on a VIP arrangement for the new Cirque Du Soleil show (Varekai) in Antwerp. Amazing show, and good food & champagne... :hooray :beer
So you can say it's a weekend with ups and downs...
My back is utterly destroyed from all the digging and using the pick-axe to dig through the concrete that was left on the driveway... I'm in pain, so using alcohol to numb it
So how was your weekend ? :beer
