It was Katrina's birthday today and so I joined her on a walk or rather small hike to the top of Mount Doug. It was already noon, so the sun was up high and it was pretty hot. Consequently, we ended up sweating a lot while hiking or sometimes even climbing up the trails, but it was really fun. Jakki sometimes almost got lost, because she felt like walking a different way or didn't see us anymore. After we had reached the top of Mount Doug, I wanted to show Katrina the nice viewing spot I had discovered the last time I was on Mount Doug with Sara. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the exact spot anymore since we were coming from a different direction. The way down was also a bit challenging and I saw a small grey snake with white stripes. There was also a cute brown dog that somehow got scared by my hat or something and just took off after seeing me. I felt a bit bad for it since the owner was searching for the dog, but she eventually found it. All things considered, the hike was a really nice excercise and a lot of fun.
On the way home, Katrina made a short detour to the bakery so that I could buy some fresh bread. When we got back home, we had some vanilla ice cream with hot raspberry jam as a topping, which was really delicious and reminded me of an ice cream that I once had as a child.
After spending the afternoon reading 'The Wind Singer' and relaxing, I cooked a really nice meal in the evening. As we hadn't used the chicken thighs I had bought for the BBQ yesterday, I could make a meal out of them today. I wasn't really sure how to prepare them. Nevertheless, frying them in a pan turned out to be a great idea. I ended up eating them with some vegetables and rice, which was really tasty.
This evening, I watched a few episodes of 'Supermatural' and Margot kept me company. Katrina had gone out this evening, but when she returned, we ended up talking about supernatural shows and as this reminded me of the show 'Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction' (German: 'X-Factor: Das Unfassbare'), I showed them half an episode of that show.
