Ring is fixed

On the bus to Haarlem was a little doggy. It was very curious to see what was outside.

I had a drink n the shade under a wind mill with Marjolein. We went to pick up my fixed ring.

The view.

The ring. An old class mate of mine is a gold smith. Whenever I have repair work on rings I ask him to do it coz he does a good job.

Bottom

Went to the pub, it was very quiet early in the evening. later on a big English birthday party came in. When they left it was quiet again. Not bad. The music was nice.

Marjolein bought me a DVD with all 3 series of the British comedy "Bottom". Use to watch them when i was studying, good stuff.

The fish

On my way home I spotted big fish! When the saw me they quickly swam away in a panic.

A zeppelin was flying above the city.

People just dump their rubbish.

The threats with fines are VERY effective!

The remembrance

On the 4th of May we remember war victims. On Dam square, in front of the royal palace, lots of people gather to join in a 2 minute silence.

The national war memorial monument is there too.

Queen Beatrix is there with her secretary and her son prince WimLex and his wife princess Maxima.

I went there with Mic and Marjolein and afterwards we had coffee at Schillers.

A new Irish fast-food chain has opened in town ;-)

The big jumbotron screen at Rembrandtplein was OFF! A miracle! Needless to say I hate it.

People brought flowers to the monument.

The Queens day remains

Boat next to work.

I met Nantko for a drink and a bite after work. Kate sat with us as well.

Queens day 2011 remains. Must've been a great party...

The trash can

Remains of Queens day. Amsterdam - The trash can of Holland, every April 30...

On my way home in the tram.

The pigeon

I sat in the sun on Marjolein's balcony today and saw a pigeon. Yes I did. I also fixed a new computer for Marjolein which is a great improvement.
