Amsterdam, Netherlands
The good news is that the street in front of the building is no longer dug up. All the work on that was completed and it actually seems that the ugly yellow pipe that over the canal next to the bridge in front of the house will disappear again. It's been disconnected on either side and hopefully will get removed soon.
The bad news is that the scaffolding is still in front of our building, as you can see on the right hand side of the picture, and that I have no idea how long it will still be there.
The other bad news was the lorry you see in the centre of the picture, completely blocking the street. It was delivering cement to a building opposite the street and woke me up this morning as it installed itself in the street and started spinning its cement mixer. It's not like I set alarm clocks anyway, but if I would that would no longer be necessary because of the variety of workers that wake me up each morning these days.
Also good news is that I once more went to Zuiderbad after work and a brief visit to Sean and Mike's today. I enjoyed yesterday's swim so much that I decided to return today and once more it felt great. It gave me the opportunity to swim away my frustrations about a work issue today so the 3.30 euros spent on that were well worth it.
