He Forgot Our Appointment

I visited Amsterdam around 3:30 pm. The weather was drizzly. I arrived at Arti et Amicitiae earlier than our appointment time, so I watched an exhibition. It was okay. Just after 4 pm, Henri appeared with his girlfriend. He seemed in a hurry to go somewhere. After talking for about 15 or 20 minutes, the truth came out — he had forgotten our appointment. In a nutshell, it was just a coincidence that we met! We laughed. I went to the bar Het Lagerhuys. It was a good time as usual. After that, I stopped by a cafe. When I came back home, my housemate was cooking, so I had to wait until she finished. However, I could not wait, so I ate a packed meal cold. I am not sure, but I think I fell asleep around 10 pm.
