 Finally moved in to the "new" house...

Early view from the front door 0615hrs



First BBQ of 2024...


Tjeerd and I had to figure out how to get the handles straight...



...and position the bed


...and the TV






I still have to figure out how to install the washing machine and dryer and a wash trough - and do it in keeping with the high standard of the rest of the house...


The log fire also has to be re-installed - to the right of the TV. Hard to imagine at the moment that we will be lighting the fires again in September...

So good to have Paul and Ben together - out to our "local" restaurant


...and suddenly Paul's 2 weeks' help was over - he left with Ben to go to Amsterdam - with a visit to Ben's club at Soho House - and a visit to an Ice Cream shop for Paul :)





We have Kids' Weekend again - with two new young women joining the personnel list as part-timers.

My Saturday Helper helped with removing weeds from the apartments courtyard - it had looked very neglected...as indeed it was over the last 9 months!



Purely by chance...starting with a sunrise and finishing with a sunset :)

It was not only a win for the club, but a win for Collingwood. The Club had also done much to uphold the credit of football; for although they went in to win they went in to play a pure and honourable game. The idea of the C...

Week 50 Of interest Cheryl Christmas 92nd Birthday! Photos   Electric cars Electric cars are no longer cheaper to run than petrol or diesel-fuelled vehicles after the government wound down subsidies and tax breaks designed to encourage drivers to switch. The latest assessment by motoring organisation ANWB finds that electric cars cost almost 76 cents a kilometre to run, taking in the cost of fuel, maintenance, wear on tyres and depreciation. Petrol-powered cars are around 9 cents per kilometre cheaper. The high cost of electric vehicles, which cost €46,000 on average to buy new, has been offset by subsidies and tax benefits, but the new cabinet has watered down previous commitments to stimulate the transition to renewable energy. School Teachers Primary and secondary schools and vocational colleges are struggling with a shortage of 13,000 teachers and the number is expected to remain high for several years, education ministers Eppo Bruins and Mariëlle Paul have warned.
