Next House?

For a few minutes today I almost decided to move into this street in Utrecht as there was a house on offer from one of the other house gaurdian organisations I've signed up with recently. It has more space than the one in Soest but no more longer term certaintly and in the end I decided not to risk all the hassles of moving now when another more attractive alternative may turn up before the demolition men actually arrive.

Trigger Finger

To Tivoli with Rens & Co (+ almost the entire crew of B-Where) to see Triggerfinger. Never seen anyone hit drums as hard (and as well) as this guy did.

Joep & Dusty

"Don't you dAre slaver on my head!"

Vlissingen

With my free train ticket I went to see Hanneke in Zeeland.

Book Week Gift

Every year in March here in the Netherlands we have the Bookweek. During this week (which miraculously lasts for 10 days...) a writer is chosen to write the Book Week Gift. This hardback short book is given free to every client who spends at least 12.50 euros on Dutch books during the 'week'.

This year I bought my first 'dwarsligger' - a book that is printed the 'other way around' on very thin paper and is therefor a lot of reading for little weight so an ideal 'travelling book'.










At the moment I can't think of a suitable English translation for this publishing novelty - if I think of one later I'll put it in here. Yes, yes I could google it but would really prefer it to just appear in my head...

Deja Vu...

Joep watched with amazement as I tidied up the garden area on what felt like the first day of spring today. Funny, I'm sure I did it last year too... Where does all the stUff come from?

Gooische Vrouwen

10 of us went to The Film tonight in Houten. Afterwards some of us went back to Yvonne's house.
