I had something left unfinished business In Wormer and walked through the Dorpsstraat for the first time in six months, the artery of the village where I had worn for seven years. On the site of Bakker Brakenhof, next to Kapsalon Nico Piet, a hairdressing shop had arrived, there will soon be another one on the other side of the intersection. I had written it down before: nowhere are so many hair salons per inhabitant as in Wormer. And that while at least half of the men are bald, I suddenly understood why the women usually look that way. They are relaxed all the time, all their girlfriends have a hair salon.
Did I miss the village, life on the square centimeter,? The other way around was the case. I was accompanied by the youngest gossip from all sides. Café Het Wapen van Wormer gets a destination for minor asylum seekers, there are protests, but they are mainly about the fact that the officials of the welfare committee seem to be squeezing a blind Their children are forced to live in.
“We are from the straight line,” said a man at the Vomar in a tone as if he had to explain to me how they were baked again.
“We are right and crooked is crooked, and then for everyone.”
What I liked is that the world event seems to leave them totally cold. “Does that make sense to worry about everything?”, A customer in living room café held me. “Soon we will all get a chip from Elon Musk in the head and then you can lead the life you want to lead. I think I just continue with this life. “
Operator-and Vitesse fan-Arno had a new hairstyle, it was now also flat from the front. It gave him a more businesslike appearance. As long as the number of funerals does not decrease, and it didn’t look like that, things went well.
Butcher Gijs Tange was scammed for at least 10,000 euros in the repair of a cooling system, a technician had used a twenty -year -old engine instead of a new engine and was then no longer accessible by telephone. Also Wormer: against his will a crowdfunding ‘for our friendly and skilled butcher’ was set up. No matter how well intended, he was already busy for half a day to stop the charity.
The rumor went that we would return to the village, we had already been spotted at a house in the open field.
A flourishing customer hit the hands.
“What do you have to look for here?”
I didn’t know either, maybe start a hairdressing store?
