Yesterday I did it. My plant was moved from my window sill to my balcony, because the smell began to be noticeable every now and then.
This afternoon I’ll go and check to see how my father’s plant is doing. I had already noticed that it was doing much better than mine. Her trunk was already twice as thick, it is full time in the greenhouse in the heat, and she has a huge(!) large pot with soil. This can only result in unbeatable enormity.
The Dutch saying where you do something ‘For bacon and beans’ means that you do something as a test. Playing a game without a real bet, trying a new route even if you don’t need to. Just making sure you know how to do something, and really doing it even though you don’t need the result (yet).
Well, yesterday I ran the singelloop and I managed to get a good result finishing before my running friends. The only detail is that I did not get any medal because we arrived to late to sign up and the numbers were already sold out. Not really a problem, but I am a bit sad about missing out on the medal.
The run itself was quite special. It is not like other running matches. Of the 6 km distance the first 5 kilometers I was just jugging because there were a huge amount of (slow) people on the route… this is really typical of the singelloop, but also makes it a special and fun event!
