By means of alleged stolen (credit)cards (but that’s a totally diffent story) my cards are blocked. And that means that you don’t have acces to your own money these -all plastic- days.
Only at an office of the ING bank, but not a former Postbank office, mind you, there is a possibility to get money with a ID. Not very unreasonable so far.

Seems there are very few ‘good’ offices so had to go to the other side of town, Hillegersberg. With the cute shoppingstreet Jill and I visited last year. When finally arriving there, traffic is horrible, it appears to cost some to get some, namely my own money.

12,80 ma’am. Ok, give me… WHAT!!! 12.80 EURO’S???? Yes and that was it. Very friendly woman but 12,80 euro’s it was. I was completely bewilderd at first. Than I got the massage, 12,80 euro’s! Can you blieve that! I couldn’t. And I did’t. Pay that is. So did not got money as well of course. I rather eat wood this weekend.

We, that is Paul and me (so glad Paul is in Holland at the moment), are very busy these days with the Watermeid. She leaked when it was raining wich was a bore.

We found the cause and one thing leads to another. We are working almost every day this last month and the result is a dry boat wich looks very nice a gain.

I like this better than no message at all You?

The energy market in Holland is commercial since a couple of years. Which means you can choose the comapany you want to deliver you gas and energy. While there is no difference of quality the price and service determine your choise. Could have done it years ago but anyway did it now. Yields me hundreds of euros per year if everything goes well. And is seems to be easier than changing you mobile provider.

Main Energy it is for me for the next year. Did choose that via one of those compare sites that does the maths for you. Will see if everything goes well.

The funny thing of gaslicht.com is that it is of that Dutch guy, Ben Woldring, who became millionaire when he was 12 or so with a compare site of internet providers. Later on he started mobile comparison and so on.

Went to Groningen the other day for a visit at the Ecolution.

We were surprised at the progress since last visit. It will be a spectacular ship when finished.

The Roman Catholic Church excommunicated the doctors and mother of a 9 years old Brazilian girl. She had an abortion after her stepfather raped her.

The stepfather is still a member of that church. Obviously rape is not a bad sin as abortion is….
