Amsterdam, Netherlands
The weather was absolutely wonderful today, despite gloomy weather forecasts for the Easter Weekend earlier this week. With Good Friday being a public holiday, at least for those working in the Financial Services industry, I considered myself very lucky with the timing of the blue skies and the warm sunshine. At around noon I had a stroll into the western part of the city centre and on Westermarkt saw in astonishment that the queue to get into the Anne Frank house, on Prinsengracht, was going all the way down to Keizersgracht. My guess was that that was about a two hour wait – just to get inside. I guess the tourists have flocked en masse to Amsterdam for this long weekend.
On the way back home I bumped into Darren, or to be more accurate, he bumped into me as he suddenly appeared out of nowhere from behind me. Darren is my former room mate who actually stayed with me twice, in two consecutive winters, for six months each time. It was only because I bought my current apartment, that I had to ask Darren to move out. And of course having a room mate is out of the question in my studio now, otherwise I would have been happy to once more share the place with Darren. He’s a very nice guy, very considerate, and easy to talk to so I look back with pleasure on the time that we shared Amstelkade 106-1. It was good to hear today that he’s happy and that he and his boyfriend Vilius are living together in an apartment close to Westergasfabriek. Good Friday.

So what you are saying is living with Darren was a better experience than living with me? Just because I brought my husband and my digusting rabbit with me, I mean sheez.
