Amsterdam, Netherlands
This is quite an extraordinary picture. It shows the studio in which I live but that's not the extraordinary part. What is exceptional here is that, for the first time this year, I have a view again! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, all five windows, all 158 little window panes if you like, are clear of scaffolding again, all of them offering a view to the outside world. And believe me, in this part of the city there is a lot of outside world to be viewed (and heard) so you can imagine my relief that there's light again.
What else today? Just a lazy Sunday afternoon in town where I visited some shops (actually looking for new polo shirts because my old ones are getting a bit big) and then a swim in Zuiderbad. In the evening, after yet another delicious low carb dinner, I went to... Spijker! It was the first time that I went in a long time, in fact only the second time this year, but at least it seems to be a sign that I am slowly coming out of hibernation. I didn't really go there for any reason, other than possibly the fact that it's Queen's Day tomorrow and the evening before Queen's Day ('Queen's Night') can be quite busy and quite nice. It was neither, really, but it still was good to be back in Spijker. It is, after all, the place that I used to call my living room for a long time.
