Feelin' hot hot hot
What is with this temperature?!? Am too hot to think, too hot to write, too hot to move.
Today's activities:
-Wake up early since too hot to sleep.
-Ride around town on bicyle on mad quest to locate fan.
-Go to 6 stores. Apparently fans no longer exist in Holland.
-See man walking down street with fan.
-Stop him. Hysterically inquire where fan was found.
-Get directions, bike for 20 mintues.
-Arrive at destination soaking wet.
-Spy fans surrounded by huge crowd.
-Grab fan and hold on to for dear life. No one is getting this fan!
-Balance fan home on my bicyle with great distress. Stop occasionally to mop sweat from face.
-Decipher Dutch instructions for putting fan together.
-Instructions completely illogical.
-Fan lopsided.
-40 minutes later, fan finally assembled.
-Anticipate great moment of satisfaction.
-Turn fan on.
-No movement.
-Nothing.
-Yes, absoultely, NOTHING!
-BLOODY FAN DOES NOT WORK.
-Use all will power to not pick up fan and hurl out window.
As you can see, a very very succesful day.
Very nice to read your Blog. It's funny to read what a 'foreigner' thinks of the dutch society. Happy to have found your blog!
Once you do find a working fan, PLEASE let me know where you got it from...we looked at the Amstelveen Stadshart and at Groot Gelderlanplein both did not have any fans...
Really haven't been getting a wink of sleep so would really appreciate the info, in case I find one ...will be happy to pass it on...
In the meantime you could try out the icecreams at Jammin....
Hey Candy---I did find one (and one that works)!! It was in the east of Amsterdam, at the Dappermarkt. There were a lot there, so you should be in luck!!!
Oh LORD! BLESS YOU....I shall have a look there as soon as I can...
Sorry about your hand, hope its doing better now...that must have really hurt *ouchie*
