The Shower Was Out of Order

I got a message from my landlord Jan. It said that I could not use the bathroom because he would be painting the walls for a couple of days. I have to say that such behavior without notice is insane. I experienced the same situation several years ago. At that time, I was so angry that I went to stay at a hotel. I wonder if he is hyperactive, perhaps even has ADHD, so when he gets an idea, he cannot stop himself from doing it immediately. Anyway, it is unfair and very uncomfortable. I visited Amsterdam to meet the Dutch artist Henri. We discussed our exhibition. He has been sick, so we have to postpone the schedule. The showcase might take place in 2028. After that, I visited three kinds of bars. While bar hopping, I bought French fries at Manneken Pis, which is a famous fries shop. The cost was €5.65. I think it is too expensive. I returned home around 9:30 pm. I only had tea and did not eat any food. I fell asleep after midnight.
