An Awkward Atmosphere

I spent some time painting. Painting human faces is not easy, but it is more fun than painting food. I visited a second-hand shop and bought a glass for water. It was €0.5. I went to the bar My Way. The only customer there was Ruud, but he left immediately. Then I was alone with the bar owner, Rob. I felt tension in the air, and it was difficult to relax. We had no conversation. After 15 or 20 minutes, another customer came in. Phew! For dinner, I steamed pork ribs with a lot of ginger and garlic in my room. The pork ribs were on sale, so they cost only €2. There was no oily smell spreading through the room, so I considered it a success. The taste was healthy and acceptable.

Awkward Atmosphere I did painting. Painting human face is not so easy but more fun than painting foods. I visited a second hand shop and I bought a glass for water. It was €0.5. I went to the bar My Way. There was only customer Ruud but he left at once. I was together with the bar owner Rob alone. I felt tension in the air and it was hard to relax. We had no conversation. After 15 or 20 minutes later, new customer came in. Phew! For dinner, I steamed pork lib with many ginger and garlic at my room. Pork lib was in sale so it was only €2. It was no spreading oily air so it should be successful. The taste was healthy and acceptable.
