14.9 Tuesday - I woke up sometime in the morning and went to work. I worked the day at the embassy. At around 5.30 I met Johan from the Swedish embassy and we biked to the city centre and visited Aktie Sport and bought a pair of football shoes(boots?). You got a ball for free. After that we biked to Fat Kee and ate. I asked the waitress to recommend something and she said chicken with salt and pepper. It was tasty thought it sounded funny. Johan asked for fried noodles but got fried rice. After eating in that nice restaurant home.

15.9 Wednesday - I woke up biked to work, worked and biked back home. I had some quick sandwiches and biked 5 km along the railway to Vordburg and to Wilhelmus International. There I participated in nice football. I felt like a professional. I almost scored a goal. Players were mostly foreign, Anglo-Saxon or French. Afterwards I biked home. I biked a bit wrong but it felt good, playing.

16.9 Thursday - Woke up and went to work. After work I biked 15 km to Stompwijk to look at a MIDI synth. A retired and torn woman singer from a band nowadays making lounge was selling. I bought it for 70, 5 euro off haggling. It was difficult to bike. I strapped it horizontally to my backpack that I had on my stomach. Halfway it started to rain and I had to cover it in plastic bags. 15 km back. Home! and made dinner. Pasta with olives and tomatoes. Then I hurried to Plein and met the usual gang at Hagsche Kluis. I stayed there for a couple of hours. Then I walked home and was home.

20.9 Monday - Woke up at 8 and went to work. At 5.30 I was finished and biked home and bought food on the way and looked in some shops for shorts for football. Didn't find any. Made a delicious pasta at home and cleaned the whole house and changed sheets and all ventilation. Read some Capote. Nice. I couldn't play football because of my sore on my heel.
