The beach

On my way to Haarlem I got the pleasant surprise "No trains between Amsterdam and Haarlem today and tomorrow". Alternative transport was arranged which was a touring car. Well, about 20 probably...

Eventually we got to the beach.

Like a lot of other people because the weather was fantastic.

I left in a rush and forgot my walking shoes. However, walking bare foot was really nice :-)

The tide was coming in and washed a lot of sea-life ashore which had great interest of the seagulls.

There was also something else flying around... Something VERY noisy.

My new clock.

Spotted this sticker on a bin on the ferry. It says "Give Almere to the Palestinians". Almere is a city that not many people like in The NL except for those that live there...

Lunch was delivered. Swarms were gathering.

The HEMA head office is very close to my work. I walk past it. They have made a little mini store there that has all the essentials, it's amazing how much they have managed to pack in.

I bought a new clock. I like it.

Can you tell the difference?

This is Mr. Boots. He was in the office today. Mr. Boots looks like he don't take no shit from no one. Really he's a cutie. All he wants is your attentioooooon.

I don't know what this is. Something out of the sewer I presume.... I barely managed to photograph it.

The coins

Lovely weather today (not...)

Last weekend Marjolein got me 2 of my missing coins that I have now put in my euro collection.

Nantko

Apparently the Dutch soccer team was playing when I went to town.

I met Nantko at the pub. He had his first beer after almost all of his stomach was removed. His chemos have stopped now and he's looking good.

Ice cream!

I kinda half forgot that I had an appointment with my shrink at 9-bloody-AM. I was woken up by my alarm whilst in the middle of a dream at 7:30. I was out the door at 7:39. We decided I did not need any more counseling and made today my last appointment for now. Yay!

There's a funny comic book in the waiting room.

I walked to work in the sun. They made a path through the middle of an old ship dock. This is facing one way...

... this is facing the other way.

We have monkeys in the kitchen...

The ice cream van came by again today! I was wishing for that last week and now he's here again. All hardcore ice cream fans came down.

On my way home there were two swans eating things from the bottom of the lake. Beautiful animals.

In the evening I took the tram to mic's to play squash.

The wankers home.

Went to a mineral fair and had to walk past the Supporters home of AJAX. I hate AJAX. I think AJAX sucks dogs balls! I don't care how good they are (they're not really, anyway), I still think they're absolute SHIT! Wankers!!!

Now I know where the TV show (only local) "Goden zonen" (Sons of gods) comes from.

The fair was nice but a few things were missing.

I bought an already cracked Bubble.

It has dark crystals inside.

They gave us heart stamps at the fair so we could walk back in if necessary.

"Be right back"
