The cow-cat

On my way to visiting Nantko in the hospital I walked with a feline companion a bit.

She would sometimes stand and listen for little creatures.

And then she'd walk a bit further.

I visited Nantko with Mic. Nantkos sister was there as well. We had quite a few laughs, which is what we came for. Being in a hospital is shit enough as it is, let alone with a cancer in your stomach...

Nantko wasn't scheduled for chemo yet. But the whole thing got pulled forward because of blood clods in his hand.
These are the hands of Mic, Nantko and his sister.

Can you tell which hand has the blood clods?

Carolien.

Carolien was in her dock before lunch.

During lunch people flocked around the tables like seagulls.

After lunch I just saw the Carolien being tugged to her usual spot where she's been for months now. On this page you can see all ships called SCH 81. "SCH" is from "Scheveningen" and this is the third generation SCH 81.

The about an hour after lunch the ice cream man drove past! HAPPY HOUR!

After work I played a bit of MtG with colleagues. My deck completely sucked though and I was knocked out very early.

Oh well, I guess I had to leave and wait for my ferry in the sun with my colleague Sam. We bought a beer coz we had to wait 25 minutes.

Nic's got nice glasses!

Nicole got her glasses today! I think they look great, very smart :-)

I met up with Nicole and Gerrit for dinner which was a lovely event.

On my way home this kitty came to say hello. It wasn't sitting still for a picture at all...

YAY Catalonia! for banning bullfighting!

Water during my morning ferry-ride.

Shopping after work.

The Spanish region of Catalonia has banned bull fighting today. It made me very happy.

Fuck bullfights. People who make animals suffer for their own entertainment suck. I have ZERO respect for them.

The big fat cruise ship edition.

A big fat cruise ship floated past while waiting for the ferry. It was blocking the sun...

Building cranes.

On my way home an even bigger and fatter cruise ship floated past in the opposite direction. It was actually overtaking a big barge.

My new shelves.

We get fresh fruit at work. VERY fresh...

I can't remember what happened with my jigsaw. I may not have had one in Australia. So I needed one to fix my shelves. I like BOSCH a lot but man they're cutting costs wherever they can. The case is SO flimsy. The machine itself is wonderful though.

I had to cut these shelves for in my bathroom.

Now my stuff can go there instead of on the floor. And I don't have to keep my towels in the kitchen anymore. That was kinda unhandy coz whenever I needed a new one I had to go there but I was usually already wet by that time...

Shelves.

I went to the DIY store today and got me some shelves for the bathroom. When I put them up I found out my wall isn't as straight as I thought so they need a bit more work. I need a jigsaw now...

I went out for dinner with a friend and afterwards I went to Mulligans where I had a very nice time.
