5977A avenue du Parc
For all u cats out there planning to visit us before july 2008: 5977A avenue du Parc will be the address you have to give the taxidriver.
At first we only planned to stay at this address for 4 months because Helena, who's is subletting us this appartment, was coming back from the Great North in january 2007. But it seems she likes it up there in the wild and snow. So we can stay here for quite some time longer.
Actually I'm kinda jealous of her coz deep down inside I am attracted by that rugged remote outdoor life. Although I know I am real city slacker, the lumberjack inside me would like to know what it is like to live among bears, beavers, caribou (it's basically the North-American reindeer) and dark forests. Guess my countryboy roots have something to do with that...
Anyway, we're getting of subject here .... I admit that in the beginning we were ... well disappointed is not really the word, but something like that when we moved in here. It all looked so old, kinda scruffy, messy ... But after tiding up, cleaning and living here for some weeks we got to feel right at home here. Our refuge, haven of peace from the bustling city live.
So when Helena first mentioned that we could stay longer, we were excited about it. But then we realized that some changes need to be done. We need a bigger bed (so a bigger bedroom), the kitchen needs to be more practical, we really need to start using the study (otherwise it's just wasted space). If we do stay here, we really have to make it a place of our own. And after thinking it through, going over all the options, discussing with Helena and Anne (our downstairs neighbour who lived in this appartement 20 years ago and knows about the wires and electricity) we decided to keep it. Also the rent is damn cheap :-)
A lick of paint, new lightning and some extra shelves should do the trick of transforming our crib!
It also means we will buy everything new (or vintage of course): new furniture, new pots & pans and other kitchen stuff, a new bed, etc. All I know is that I want to go for something zen (who said Feng Shui?), minimalistic with some ethnic accents and that I want to use the color "cioccolatte". We're pretty excited about our new project. Any ideas anyone??
Besides that, the nightshift completely messes up my internal clock. Yesterday I got out of bed at 6am and today at 7am. (a whole new experience for me :-). Nyfiken had a limping leg so we went to the vet and decided to amputate. And Tinneke left me but I have Patrick Watson to keep me company.
Before you get any wrong ideas: Tinneke is coming back next week from Warsaw, Patrick Watson is my new idol and Nyfiken still has all his legs (but he won't if he continues biting my nose when I'm a sleep).
It's sunday morning, almost 9am, I am gonna go buy a perfect bagel and a nice flaky croissant, maybe do a softboiled egg and eat it with toast cut in little soldiers. Have a good one!

wat is er nu met de kat???
heb je het wat gered daar in je eentje!!! we denken aan je! je zusje!
En lukt het, het alleenzijn? :)
Wat de kleurkeuze van je appartementje betreft: wij hebben ons "bedhoofd" (dus het stuk muur waar ons bed tegen staat) van plafond tot vloer in chocoladekleur gedaan. De rest van de muren is bruin-grijs (lichter).
Veel plezier ermee!
Aaargh, doe ne mens toch ni zo verschieten! Ik dacht even (1 seconde) dat Nyfiken zijn pootje echt geamputeerd moest worden, ocharme!
Btw, wij hebben ook in de meeste van onze kamers 1 muur in een donkere tint geschilderd en de andere muren in een lichtere tint van dezelfde kleurfamilie, bv in de living is 1 muur klei (een soort donkertaupe) en de andere muren forel (lichtgrijs-beige-achtig) en in de slaapkamer hebben wij +/- hetzelfde gedaan als Sarazegthallo. Groetjes aan u en aan Tinneke van Katrien, Cedric & de scampi ;-)
Ik zou gaan voor grijzig in alle tinten. Best wel mooi.
Succes ermee!
Goedels
