Chateau Meiland: the naklets
Martien in the Netherlands and the farewell of Carolien. It doesn't necessarily sound like the most fun episode of Chateau Meiland. Until... There was Nadège slash Desirée slash Nadesh slash Charmene, in other words, the new cleaning lady, Martien trying to pay with a chewed-up debit card and of course the agigator (?): we laughed a lot again last night and okay, a little bit cried.
1. Martien in the Netherlands on a bike. Those legs, those knees, that dangling bag, that head AND hair combined with wind against. I have never seen so many joints moving at the same time. Martien: ‘Here we go left. Yes, you know à gauche, yes, left.’ Where was I when Martien was riding a bike in the Netherlands? Missed opportunity in life.
2. And then just a little bit of pinning. Martien: ‘Where does my card go in? It doesn't work, you know. It gets stuck. Look at that, it's acting all weird. And there are all these holes in it from Bommel. Ugh, what a hassle.’ Oh, and did anyone spot that man next to Martien at the ATM? HA HA.
3. Martien: ‘Yes, it was a hit. Well, a very little bit of a hit.’
4. Martien: ‘I brought extra gas for the agigator.’ For what? Anyone familiar with an agigator? Definitely don't Google it.
5. Martien: ‘It's five past half ten in the morning. People are already drinking beer here. Yes, you have to listen, I really don't like beer, I actually only drink wine. But yes, they only have beer here. So then I just drink beer. It looks pretty manly, a beer like that.’
6. Martien: ’Who are those people coming again? What are they doing here again? Pff. Yes bonjour-eh, how nice.’ Yes, our man has acting talent too.
7. Martien: ‘I’ll first grab a rosé. What time is it? Well, it actually doesn't matter what time it is.’ That’s the spirit.
8. Martien: ‘I haven't even been on the dam for a quarter of an hour, and the gate is already off the dam, pff.’
9. Martien: ‘I have honestly never seen such a suitcase. It has all these levels. And Carolien, do you have underwear and stuff? Oh, that's of course in the top level, my apologies.’
10. Well, I just have to cry a little because of Carolien and Martien. So sweet, friends for life and all that.
11. Martien: ‘What is our housekeeper's name again? Oh, her name is Nadège. Shit, did she say Desirée? Oh no, it's Nadège. Nadège yes, what a crappy name actually. You know, now that Carolien is leaving, I am extra happy with our new housekeeper. So happy with Nadesh.’ N.a.d.è.g.e.
12. And then just a little bit of Martien and Erica + the cord of the pool robot. What. A. Top. Team.
13. Martien: ‘Shall I just ask Charmene then? Ugh, I forgot the name of that housekeeper again. Pff, what a terrible name.’
14. Martien: ‘That watering the grass is completely pointless. It's as yellow as... yellow.’
15. Martien: ‘And then that hydrangea has also started acting all annoying. So annoying all of it.’
16. Martien: ‘Actually, it's a very relaxing task. While watering the garden, you can really think with yourself and stuff. And you don't have to talk for a while.’ *talks and talks and talks on*
17. THAT CAT, that snack board. Hahahaha. Oh, I have to laugh so hard. Martien: ‘That cat is just eating my snack board. And then a car is coming. And soon the dogs will come. Yes, they are new people. Yes, Erika, it's your turn, you know. Pff, I'm feeling really anxious.’
18. Maxime: ‘Shouldn't we wear sunglasses?’ Uhm, you mean regarding the campfire and the marshmallows? I guess not.
19. Martien: ‘Nice, huh. And warm, you know. So special, those marshmallows. Really very fun.’ I want to eat warm special marshmallows with Martien now, yay.
