Market and golf.

Nathan took some days off work and today there were a market that we decided to check out and then we took a small bike ride to play golf since it has almost been a year since last time.

The day started with Nathan heading to band practise at around 9 am while I slept a bit longer. He sent me a message around noon informing me that he was on his way home, so I started to get myself ready to head out. As soon as he arrived home we both went out towards the market. The place we live is holding a small market every Thuesday and since Nathan still has more free days we decided to check it out. It was really cute and there were a bunch of things there. People sold vegtiables, meat, fish, snacks, cloth etc… there were even a van that sold animals. Mostly birds but they did have 4 very cute bunnies. There were a lot to see, but we only had 1h before they shut down for the day. I did buy some olives since they actually had the ones where the cheese is inside.

When we were done at the market we quickly stopped by our place to just put the olives into the fridge before we continued our day. This time we were heading to Brasschat to check out a mini golf place. We were planning on going somewhere else, but they were closed. It was a really nice ride and the wind really helped with the heat. It took us around 20 min to get there. The place was right next to a big park so it was nice and quite. We parked our bikes and headed in.

There were no one playing when we arrived which meant that we wouldn’t have to wait for people to be finished. We got our clubs and golf balls and started our run. The courses weren’t too interesting, but they did have some veriations to them. One thing they did have which I haven’t seen before was that 2 of the wholes were set up as regular gold where you started from a far and had to hit the ball over the lawn and on to the green field. It was really fun and I manged to get a really good hit on one of them. Nathan was leading pretty much throughout the entire game, but I did have my moments. Nathan won with 3 points less than me. He had 55 and I had 58. So close!

We decided to stay for some food since neither of us had eaten before we left and it was already almost 2 pm. The place was a bit expensive so we ended up sharing some Nacho’s and Ice cream and then we each had a milkshake. The Nacho’s were way bigger than i thought they would be, but we managed to get through everything. It was really good and the ice cream was perfect since it was almost 30 degrees.

When we were done eating we decided to just head home and die on the couch. I sent a message to my family back in Norway because today is Norway’s National day which is a public holiday where we celebrate the time we got independent. Some people have parties with their family and if you have kids in school there are also parades where the childring walk down a long street towards the castle where the royal family would be on the balcony and wave to them.

Tomorrow is also going to an eventfull day which I’m looking forward to. I just really hope that it won’t be as warm as today cause warm weather always gives me a headache.

Hope you guys have had a lovely week so far and are making sure to not get too hot escpecially if you live in the middle of Europe!
