With the knowledge of today
It all started on a Thursday night. At work I had an apple-crumb tartlet baked with white raisins, spicy cinnamon and lots of love. Once we were home together, this baking was the prelude for a birthday weekend and we had a toast with - for the occasion pink - #champagne - Yes. Of course with accompanying writing for and in the form of a birthday card. The eve of the day before the final celebration. Starting early saves a sip on a drink. The great 2-9, a nice moment to remember. What exactly is about to happen is another surprise, but the fact that we are going to have a party is obvious; with bubbles in this case.
After Friday morning riding lessons and cargo bike there is an empty suitcase in the living room. The intention is to fill it with enough plunger for a celebration for two...
Once we arrived at the A-location (Amsterdam it is) we first reported ourselves to Jesse, our Airbnb host for the occasion. A beautiful apartment adjacent to the Vondelpark. The shrill sun is heartwarming and while joggers are jogging past, pushchairs joyriding and cops vigilant and servant stretch their strong arms, we enjoy each other. As can be expected, this tastes for more and in the run-up to the evening show we make a stopover or two, three, unnoticed ever closer theater #Carr é, for which we deem something are expected. Youpie! Hey!
The cheerful 65+there entertains us for the full 115 minutes, moderately crude and frivolous surprising with winks about student associations, men of his age and ridiculous retrospect under the title (see title) 'With the knowledge of now'. A friendly performance that is definitely worth seeing from the ridge of this magnificent theatre. On the way to our guest house we stop at Shiva, where we - nomen est omen - are treated divinely to authentic Indian ingredients, accompanied by beer and mango-lassi. In the middle of the night we reach the Overtoom and drink to the birthday exactly at midnight.
An essential part of the planning is booking near a park. The morning consists of a modest jump-off of about 7 kilometers around a pond, along winding paths and wild nature. After a refreshing shower it is time for breakfast (?) or at least bubbles.
