A Dutch Class

I did the laundry for duvet cover and went to the weekly Dutch language class at 9 am. It was a windy day but there was no rain. There were fewer students than usual. The teacher asked, “How many fish are in the pond in the illustration?” but the edge of the copy was slightly cut off, so one student said, “Two and a half!” and we all burst into laughter. I bought gifts for my parents’ house, including for my sisters, via Amazon. I spent about 40,000 JPY (€220). Just after 5 pm, while I was cooking dinner, Vanshika came back. She asked me, “Are you scared of spiders?” She found a big spider in her room. I went into her room and picked up the spider (it was not big but very small), asked her to open the window, and released it outside. After that, I went to the bar My Way. When I ordered the last beer, Nick gave me one. It was a rare case, so it made me happy. We made a toast with our glasses. For dinner, I had leftover pork steak with vegetables and bread. I fell asleep a little after 10 pm while listening to music and slipped into a dream without noticing.
