Another € 200 down the drain..

(from my SonyEricsson T610) the dieselpump at Scheen Outboard ServiceYesterday we went for a short boatride, to drop Paul and Jessica at ‘Strand Zuid‘, which is a so-called city-beach: a place -near the water of a canal or river – where they’ve dumped a truckload of sand, plunked down some beach chairs, and added a place where they sell imported beers and rosé wine. Definitely a ‘place-to-be’ this summer.

Anyway, on the our way to this city-beach, we went for a refuelling stop – with all these boattrips we go through the diesel fairly quickly – and dropped another € 200 of diesel in the tank.

That should see us through the summer at least – although we have Gay Pride and SailAmsterdam still to go…

It’s awfully quiet here…

I’ve just been too busy with work (and, admittedly some play) over the last few weeks. CSD Cologne, work, birthday, work, moving furniture, work, reinstalling a crashed computer, work – so much I have to do, so little time for things I want to do…

As mentioned, we did CSD Cologne: fun as ever, and a really hot day for the parade. I’ve not put up any pictures yet, but we’ve made it onto flickr: here (Timon and Jan) and here (Thomas).

I celebrated my birthday, too. I coupled it with a ‘house-cooling’ party at the Kerkstraat apartment: that has been sold, and I’m handing over the key on July 27th. The party was a succes, and I have some fond memories of that apartment. Most of the furniture went to Henk. Jan organised a ‘budget makeover’ for Henk’s apartment – Henk himself refers to it as a ‘low-budget makeover’. Either way the result was definitely an improvement.

Now all I have to get rid of is an Ikea wardrobe, and a Ligne Roset cupboard.
The Ligne Roset cupboard is for sale.
