The soccer.

Holland beat Japan in the Soccer world cup today. It was a boring match to watch.

My cow is fixed.

The movers tried to kill my cow.

But I fixed her up again.

In other news: I was sick today and I still am. Very frustrating. Never been sick this often, used to be once a year maybe. Gonna take it easy this weekend and then hopefully by Monday I'll be good enough to work again.

NEE.

This sticker keeps the advertising out. I love it. It actually works!

My new tram stop to work. Couple of minutes away.

Colleagues who had their birthday this week bought us all ice cream! Here are Bjorn and I showing off our "special" ice cream ;-)

The Marida Maple was ready to let loose again today. According to this website she's off to Hamburg now, due to arrive tomorrow 18:00.

Blog 1001.

Yes my dear readers, this is my 1001st blog post! I didn't know but it's true! So congratulations to some of you for reading through a THOUSAND posts!

So what happened in those thousand posts? Here's a short overview:

I left The Netherlands to start a life elsewhere. (blog)

I flew to Australia where I had a beautiful welcome. (blog)

I made new bird cages to improve their life too. (blog)

Life was good. I also had a good job with fun colleagues. (blog)

And then I left again. I had to leave my new best friend behind: Mason. (blog)

And now I'm back in The Netherlands again, my friends and family are very happy with that but (almost) nobody sees my tears. (blog)

And I found a wonderful employer again surrounded by ship yards.

Sick.

I was home sick today. Nothing happened. I thought I had the flu but I think it was some kinda bug. Now I just feel drained and tired. There will be pictures again tomorrow.

Another weekend gone...

Holland was playing Denmark in the 2010 Soccer World Cup. They won by 2-0. Lots of pubs had put a TV out and people sat outside watching.

And then the weekend was over. I brought Eileen back to the airport.

And as a bonus my throat feels like it's announcing the flu. Great...

The beach.

Today we went to the beach at Zandvoort. We went by bus which took about an hour but it was a lovely ride.

There were a few people around. The weather wasn't very inviting for sunbathers.

I went in to the water. It was COLD.

The seagulls seemed to have less trouble with the water temperature. They were fishing for little shrimps.

View along the beach.

Eileen.

There are little fish stands at the beach there. We bought some "kibbeling" and it was delicious!
