The last couple of days have been very busy indeed. Going to see friends and family (Sjakkelien & Twan in Nijmegen on tuesday the 13th, dinner with our neighbours Bart & William, dinner here with Carla and Frans, dinner with Majella & Bernard, coffee and lunch with Bert & Will in Baarn).
Went to the opening yesterday, saturday the 17th, of 'Art in Red Light' in the 'Oude Kerk' op de Wallen where known and lesser known artists exhibited their latest and best work in a serene and monumental background. very impressed by the work of Bilal Chahal (large abstract paintings), Nelson Carilho (bronzes) and Bert Frijns (Glass bowls). Invitation was provided by our friend Peter Nagtzaam...fab!!
Took Zoran out for Dinner to brasserie Bark for his 30st (again) birthday where we enjoyed oysters, lobster and lotsa Pouilly Fumé.

Today is the 'Dam tot Dam loop' in which Paul and Stefan will run 16 kilometers..easy..!!
Tonight off to another family visit in Alkmaar (Paul's sister Marlies, husband Eric and the kids,
