Meet my "small" beer :-)

Shopping needed to be done. I love my pixie boots.

I cracked open the "small" beer I bought in Germany a few months ago.

And then it was Warcraft time.

It's magic!

Walking to work in the morning, closely following my colleague Samvel.

This used to be the Citybox storage. In the news this week I read that pretty soon people will be ofered an opportunity to go on a guided tour where they can see what's left of their stuff! How awesome! I wonder what they'll find.... Hang on, I know what they'll fine: NOTHING! Because it is all completely incinerated!!! Which great mind came to this awesome idea? The building burned out completely clean!! There is absolutely nothing left... Morons.

In the evening I played Magic: The gathering with some colleagues. Here are Dave, Eelke, Bjorn and Wim.

Here we see Robert, Lars and George. I was playing Robert. At the end of the day I won a fair few games which was a lot of fun. But even losing was fun :-)

Naturally there was pizza! Lots of different kinds.

Afterwards I went for a night cap in Mulligans. There was some kind of emergency in town which attracted a lot of firetrucks.

More sudokus

What's the next step?

First things first at work. I mix 1 regular with 1 espresso.

I've been very busy at work ;-) (I still fixed two software issues!)

The original version of the car I almost bought in Adelaide...

There were geese flying past. Summer is on its way!

I made a stop at a game shop to buy a few more cards for tomorrow night. Catching the tram back was crap. But at least two came right after eachother so I waited for the second one that was nearly empty :-)

Another sudoku I cannot finish. What is the next step?

My gigantic pancake.

Two containers have emerged amidst the rubble left by a very big fire that ruined a few buildings close to my work. Somehow I do not think it will all fit...

Todays hardest Sudoku (for Cassie).

After I spent another 30 minutes on the cross trainer I baked pancakes.

SUN!

Leidseplein on my way to work. It was light already, I love it.

A big boat called "Tiesto" while waiting for my ferry.

One of my colleagues bought cakes for his birthday. I restricted myself to just ONE piece. Thanks Walter! :-)

We have new phones these days but just for internal use I think, not sure actually. They are operated by software, which is why there is no number pad.

It was a fairly sunny day here. Felt pretty good for a change. Still cold though.

I am stuck with this sudoku. Please some one explain the next step to me. Only the next step. Thanks :-)

You got mail.

On my way to work again this morning. It's getting light earlier now that the winter is ending.

So I was greeted by about 550 emails this morning of which thankfully only about 50 needed to be looked at and maybe 30 needed attention. Unfortunately one of them mentioned a hot fix that needed to be done today. If that would not be possible I would have to roll back a lot of code. Thankfully I managed to get it done just before 4PM. That was quite satisfying.

My lunch.

The fridge!

My cross trainer after sweating for 30 minutes.

Today was a sad day.

The spot at Schiphol trainstation where my wonderful past two weeks started, two weeks ago. Today I was alone and feeling miserable.

My former guest is a little bit good at Sudoku. She cleared all levels of todays games in less than an hour I think. The hardest one in 22 minutes and the easiest one in 30 seconds.

Going home in the bus. Horrible weather.

I cooked myself chicken korma and chana tikka masala. I got a meal tonight and 2 portions to take to work out of it.
