Friday 17 March 2006: Heidi and Sarah are green with envy, money, sea-sickness, spinach in their teeth and the luck of the Irish...



Heidi says:
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!
HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!

My friend Katrijn and me used to celebrate Saint Patrick's day when we studied in Antwerp (and when I was an Ireland-freak. Yep, this girl was obsessed with everything that had to do with Ireland). We had such good times! I will never forget! So this day is a bit the day of our friendship! Trijntje, I love you!!!!

Sarah says:
All, well most, of my ex-boyfriends or shall I rather say bed-mates were Irish American boys. So I used to have a little Irish in me. No longer I'm afraid. those days are over I'm afraid, I mean I'm happy to say. Have a goody!


Friday afternoon NEWFLASH!!!!!

Heidi says:
great fun on friday afternoon, waving to a webcam in Kortrijk and calling our friend JB in Portland so that we can wave at him!


Sarah says:
We were in Kortrijk together and decided to stand under the main church tower on the Grote Markt and wave to our friend JB in America! Technology is GRAND! We called him and he was just awake. He got on his computer and clicked on the Kortrijk webcam site where you can watch what's happening live on the square. And JB saw us!!!!! Isn't that great? We had so much fun waving to him and jumping up and down flying our scarves in the air. The funny thing is he could see my big Zita Swoon bag more than he could see us!
While we were standing there the guy in the below photo came up to us and said something like: "aren't you the girls with the daily photo site and arn't you in a band Greyn or something". We were all blushing and feeling "famous". We asked him how he knew and he said because my husband told him and was sitting in the cafe next to us! So we were tricked! The one day I am free to wander the streets of Kortrijk and I choose to jump up and down in one spot on the Kortrijk Grote Markt with Heidi to wave to the webcam at our buddy JB in America is the one day my husband happens to be sitting in a cafe watching me do this without my knowing it!!! Anyway, it was FUNNY! And the guy who tricked us let us take his photo. He's a writer named Jan Dheedene who wrote the book: "Fraude in Shanghai". You can find more info about him and his book at his site

Thanks Jan Dheedene for playing a good joke on Heidi and Sarah's egos and being our Face The Day guest! Good luck with your book!
