PJ's was fun!

After work I walked to the pub and I ran in to this dead dinosaur. Or maybe it was a replica. I think his flesh had melted off the past week or something. Maybe that's how they got extinct. Maybe. Yeah. I don't know. Do you know? Or do you just -think- you know? Who knows? Nobody can tell. It's one big secret. Just like my pin code. That's a secret too. And the colour of the queens underwear. Nobody knows about that. If you know, can you please tell me?

We went here to meet with Stephen and Caroline and...

... Michelle and Ryan. It was really nice to have dinner with all of them again. We had lots of laughs and it was really relaxing. Oh, and my parmi and three pints of Magners was also very good.


Now we're back at home with the air conditioner on. But tonight we're gonna try and sleep with the door open and the fan in front of it. I'm very scared of mosquitos.

Uberschnitzels and some trains

In the afternoon we went to the pub to have lunch with Michelle and Ryan and some of her friends. It was her birthday this week.

Michelle and Ryan ordered a chicken schnitzel (top) and a beef schnitzel (bottom). This gives you a good idea why Nicole and I long for a restaurant that serves European size portions. With stuff like this there is no room for starters or deserts. Having a nice meal with with friends is over quickly coz you can only have 1 course.

Around 15:00 we had to leave coz it was getting really warm outside. Tomorrow is s'posed to be even worse...

I was making a little test-track for my modeltrains. I designed a tiny track using my DRail software but it didn't fit right. So I made the calculations myself. Nice way of putting all my highschool maths to work.

I worked it out and was able to make this.

While I could I thought I would try making some close-ups of some of my trains. This is an older NS 1100 loco.

The newer NS 1700.

2 old-style oil cars from "Bon Zaandam".

And a tiny locomotive from Bayern, Germany.

Just to give you an idea about the size of these loco's. The scale is 1:160. This last little loco is about 3cm long.
