The VT Boys like going Dutch



The VT Boys like going Dutch, as they are half Dutch and half English, what they most like is Dutch food and treats and this weekend we had it all, Mr.Biscuits knew that we had Joode Koeken again, or in English Jewish Biscuits. He was unable to wait before lunch so he had one and he said this is how I remember them to be.

For lunch we had Toasties with Ham and Cheese which we all liked and after lunch Mr Garfield and Mr Biscuits played a game called Bloax on the iPhone and iPad mini together, with this game you can build things a bit like Minecraft.
We also had to strip a old Dell Pentium 4 for parts as the machine did not work anymore due to terminal overheating. This was a job for Mr.Biscuits as Mr Garfield was trying out the new TV with the Playstation 3. He loved it - the games run so much better and the bigger screen really helps.
For dinner we had Babi Pangang with Beans and white rice lovely. Next week Mr Biscuits is going to camp with the scouts and Mr.Garfield has a job interview to go to. Next time when we are all together we are going to try out Babi Ketjap we are looking forward to that.

The VT Boys like going to the dump again

Yesterday the VT Boys had a big clear out again, because a lot of electronic stuff was building up and was never going to be used. So we looked under the bed, and in our cupboards. We found the following, a working DVD recorder, 19" LCD Screen, 2 BT Routers, a broken micro stereo with speaker, a VHS player, keyboard and bike.
After coming back from the dump we needed to test out the new DVD player from VT Girl No.2 as it stopped working on his HDMI connection and see if it did work on SCART so we had to take it downstairs and try it on the big telly and yes it did work fine so VT Girl No.2 now is going to have the big telly from downstairs and Mr Mac is going to buy a new one.

Mr.Biscuits also had to rebuild a PC because it stopped working, which in the end was a easy job to do because Windows 7 loaded all the drivers. Mr.Garfield played one of his favorite PS3 games GRID2 and Mr Biscuits was playing very nice with VT Girl No.3 doing origami making paper balloons and plains. For dinner we had potato wedges, fish fingers, union rings, sweetcorn and beans.
