Joep was very interested in one corner of the big grey cover that I put over the couch for him. When Sproet was here it was folded up and under my desk for him to lie on and obviously still had his scent on it. After he'd had a thorough inspection of it he seemed satisfied that his predecessor was no threat and settled down for a snooze.
I remember before getting my first one last year I was a bit apprehensive as I'd heard some women saying it was painful but I didn't even find it all that uncomfortable really so that was a relief. Today's control was fairly routine and the images were acceptable first time so I didn't have to have a repeat performance. Results on Friday from the surgeon.
I recently inherited a fridge from a departing tennant in Utrecht which was slightly bigger/better than the one I had. I'd measured the space between washing machine and table in the tiny kitchen in Soest and thought it would probably jUst fit. Not a millimetre to spare.
I'd put some carnations in a glass jar but they were a bit too long and floppy for it so I put the jar in this fancy paper packaging - instant tall vase.
