In this circumstances I find this rather hilarious.

And yes, I’m an icesaver, so it’s not just perverse delight

Had the best birthday in years. Happens that my girlfriend from France/Antiqua (she can’t make up her mind) was here. We met very good friends on sunday for sailing. And above all that the weather dediced for once to cooperate.

It was a splendid day on the Watermeid. Look for yourself.

After that Jill stayed for 3 more days and even I was tourist in my own country and enjoyed every minute of it.

They informed me about the start of the new season. Every thirsday from of next week.

As far as I know I’m in the last episode. Well, not exactly I, but my kitchen and stairs. No idea when the last episode is broadcasted. Keep you posted as soon as I find out.

No idea what I’m talking about? I wrote about this earlier.

Last month I was in France with friends and a group of people taking courses in painting and acting. Not me though. I was just there, taking pics and having a good time.

Fitst part even with a friend of mine who lives in France. Heucourt happend to be in between my place and hers. So she came over for a few days and stayed longer then planned because she loved it there too. And due to my company of course…

If you want to be bored with all the 377 pictures just look at the website.

Just got a photo from Marleen, my jongest niece. She is good at it, you can tell.

And my sister in law is the one who made it. That’s what she is very good at.

This weekend the Tall Ships were gathered in Den Helder.

Enjoyed myself. Took some pics.

Wanted to accelerate my MacBook Pro. First thing was the memory from 1 tot 2 GB. Makes everything work really faster. Second was the hard disk. The old one was 80 MB and had about 5 MB left. Not much anymore.

I decided to buy the best possible at this moment. Which turned out to be a 320 GB hard disk with some more good specs. And then the de decision; do I do this myself? I did and saved myself more than 100 euros. It was dead easy and almost as fast as the youtube movie

Even putting back the backup is nothing with a mac! Some clicks and some waiting… ready.

And all that after I had done a major technical job on board…. Wel, not that major but for me it seems like that. Moved the waterfilter to a place that can can be reached and handled more easily. Repaced waterhose and all that.

Every summer the centre of Rotterdam is crowded with people who come to see the Caribbean Carnival. A very colorful and aspecially loud happening.

Yesterday while sailing along the road we, Theo and Rick and I, could not see much. We could hear it allright though. Thats why we moored the boat and went ashore to see the parade. It was at the end of the day, people were tired but still dancing.

I love these old boats so much I drive for hours to see them. So yesterday I went to Meppel. There was a gathering this weekend. Beautifull. Afterwords in the garden in Dalfsen. Hot, hot, hot is was yesterday. But I had a good time.

They are really good at it. One is writing down what the other 2 think the right word is.
