Astrid & Her Amazing “Most Amazing of Them All” – Adventure

Astrid went to the hospital for a three-hour health-check last week. Boring? Think again! We are talking Astrid-business here.



Astrid had so much fun in the hospital that she would do it again tomorrow. It all started with legally skipping breakfast before the take-off. Astrid was allowed to get up later, she had no dirty dishes to clean, and saved 100% on porridge-oats and milk. Great deal!

Then came her first “official” obstacle in the trial: Pee in a tube; Astrid had to pee for a bit “normal-style,” then in the tube until it was filled up, and then continue peeing in the pot again. Astrid only had one go, but managed to SUCCEED.



Then Astrid’s blood was taken. She was not allowed to faint and did not, but she did lose her band-aid before she arrived at work, so if you have found it, please return it to the legitimate owner, so Astrid can have her points back.

Astrid was also measured and weighed. Apparently, she had shrank a fair amount of centimetres over the years already, but, according to the wise doctor, this could be solved by having a healthy snack at that very moment. So I say, life is all about timing, and that is why Astrid will not continue this tale now, but continue with a better one.



This weekend Astrid was gonna see Jason Mraz at a festival in Hyde Park (London). Astrid is a major fan who did not know it was his birthday that day, but will not forget now. The Mraz-show was great. The songs rocked and rolled and were often hilarious. Astrid did not want the show to come to an end and luckily for her it did not also end here.

After the show Astrid went dancing on the tunes of the Buena Vista Club and discovered that Jason Mraz was wiggling behind her. Astrid was not brave enough to have her picture taken at first, but when everyone else did so, so did she, she also had a little chat with Jason where he tried spilling his birthday-wine all over Astrid’s white shirt, but Astrid’s shirt caught nothing but air, then Astrid talked some more and eventually said her goodbyes to the man without the iron mask.



Then he came running towards her, like a running nose without a tissue to stop it, to invite Astrid to his birthday-party. So, without a present, Astrid went to the party where she received a big piece of birthday-cake with marzipan and where she played magic tricks with the birthday-boy himself while being surrounded by his close friends and fellow musicians. She also became friends with one of his band-members who invited her to come see them again at the following gig as their guest.

Never forget your sun-tan lotion. Statistics have proven it is very healthy.
