He Declined My Offer

I got a message from my best friend. He cannot go to South Korea for a gathering due to his financial situation. It made me feel deeply depressed. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to take care of children from my perspective as a single person. I maintained my financial assets as usual. I went out to buy ginger at the Friday farmers market. When I got back home, Jan asked me to go to an art-related facility to meet a kind of art director. However, it was too sudden, so I declined. He told me about an opportunity to show my artworks for two months next year. He shared the contact information of the art director with me. I went to the bar My Way. There were many regular customers. Ruud seemed to be in a bad mood, so he left quite early than usual. I gave Rolf a beer. He told me he is going to Spain for a vacation for two weeks. The cost is €1100 including flights. I had boiled potatoes and carrots and grilled tandoori pork for dinner. My eating style is becoming more Dutch, which means simpler than before.
