G for "Good".

I had to get a lamp for my bathroom so I went to town. It was conveniently close to Blue where I got coffee and cake :-)

The view.

My new lamp's energy label. G means "Good", right? ;-)

I had to fix the lights fitting but I couldn't be arsed taking off the power. What can I say, I like living on the edge hehe.

I had a fan in the afternoon.

Peter Paul came by tonight and we had dinner and drinks. It was very nice catching up!

Dull.

The ferry on the way back home.

Little Cocky-boy has left the building.

Today I heard that on November 1st, All Saints day, my little very big friend Cocky-boy has died. I like animals but I never had anything with birds really except for this little Galah. He died at the age of 40+ (human years). He was always in good spirits and he loved the big cage that Nicole and I bought for him. He could speak, dance AND laugh. I think he actually learned to laugh from me, correct me if I'm wrong... Whenever you would approach his cage he'd always come up to you for a little pat on the head. It was so nice to come home late at night and he'd welcome you with "Hello! Hello cocky! Hello cocky-boy". And if I'd start to laugh, he'd sometimes frantically take over until he almost choked. I hope his little bird spirit is now free and that he will return as a beautiful strong Galah again and fly over Australia in freedom.

My day:

Somebody was not very awake when putting up the flag...

It was very windy today, not too wet thankfully.

I got my storm umbrella. This is a droplet shaped brolly that can withstand very hard wind due to it's shape but also it's construction. It's a Dutch invention and it doesn't come cheap.

The blue blog

I photographed some buildings I pass when I go to work:

HEMA headquarters.

I watched a Star Wars movie at night.

Cable failure x 4.

In peak hour traffic tram line power cables snapped in 4 places in the inner city. Usually it happens only in 1 place but no, 4 places at once today. Great. This was the tram directly blocking mine. They took the power off the complete grid.

Trams were standing still in other places as well.

Nantko

I had half a day off and worked from home the other half. In the evening I went to visit my friend Nantko in the hospital. He had most of his stomach removed as well as a bunch of lymph nodes and part of his pancreas. Oh, and also his spleen due to a bacterial infection earlier. Now he's looking at 9 more weeks of chemo. Lets all hope he'll get better.

Halloween

I went to my friend Eva's in the evening. I watched a bit of tennis...

... while she was making a very nice lasagna :-)

Nouska. (probably misspelled)

We went to Mulligans for a bit of a halloween party.

Patricia and Martijn were there as well as many other friends.

I was a bit of a casual vampire.

Eva was very scared ;-)

I walked home around 2:30. There were surprisingly few people on the street.
