Exciting.

I went shopping today and bought this exciting looking packet. It better be good.

And now I'm gonna play World of Warcraft the rest of the night. I might order a pizza in an hour :-)

[EDIT]

Yes. I found them again. My long lost love from long ago ;-)

Mr Viking person.

Some people were shooting a movie on my way to work.

In the hall at work. Frosty waves his hat :-)

A big P&O ferry sailed past. It's only slightly bigger than the ferry I take when going to work ;-)

My colleagues had put up Christmas lights in our office. They thought it was a great idea to sit in the dark all day. Thankfully daylight made it bright enough. The lights made pretty patterns though.

The disco lights are behind me. Coz, you know, I live disco.

After work I met Marjolein at the station and then we met Kees for dinner. We went to the Thaicoon which was a gem of a place. The food was delicious. Afterwards we went to Kees' place.

I had to fit the Viking costume I have to wear next weekend. It fitted alright.

Then we went to Mulligans where two good bands had combines efforts.

It was a fun night. I walked home.

The nice dinner.

This is the forklift used by Citybox which kinda burned down 2 weeks ago... I walk past every morning and this is kinda sad, somehow...

This is docked next door.

I had pancakes for lunch. Very nice but they had a bit of a chicken siam flavour on them from the container, which I HAD washed...

Ship yard on the other side.

I had dinner at Marjolein's tonight. It was very nice :-)

The Bijenkorf shopping mall.

The Christmas tree at Dam square.

And the band in Mulligans. It was a good day.

Pancakes

There was a really long truck parked close to my work. You can't really see how long it is on the photo but it was really very long...

My dinner.

The juicer.

Effe afstappe bro...

The fridge at my work is always full. It's just beautiful. I had to take a picture.

I needed to microwave my lunch but when I got to our kitchen it was occupied by a group of colleagues cooking hamburgers and using the microwave to grill bread rolls. So I had to go all the way down stairs to use the micro wave. And there I found this juicer! I made a glass, it was delicious. (The glass in the picture is for the drips btw...)

Our office building is really in between a few ship yards.

Quite cool views I think.

Dark.

I woke up at 5AM today because I had to go on a road trip. The streets were E M P T Y.

I was going to a client for work with colleagues. This is where I waited for my bus.

I took the train for the dark blue bit. I drove to my destination by car, that's the light blue bit.

The most depressing train station in the world: Amsterdam Sloterdijk.

The software I'm going to work on is used by radiologists. Today I had a chance to actually see how it is being used and it was VERY useful.

When I went back home it was dark again. I have not seen any daylight today. Welcome to winter in The Netherlands.

The Sinterklaas loot

This is my Sinterklaas loot. Some VERY nice scales, another bonsai, a box of technical Lego (funny!) and some marzipan.

And this was my breakfast. It was grrrrrrreat :-)

Breakfast dessert.

And I got another Christmas card.

While I was having dinner I watched some car-action on TV.

Always good, car-action :-)
