So, yes, my summer holiday starts the day after tomorrow! You wouldn't say that from this picture but it is actually summer in this country, and on the entire northern hemisphere. I did manage to get to the swimming pool this morning by wearing waterproof trousers, but as I left the pool and saw the rain coming down badly, I decided to leave the bike there and take a tram on to the office. There are limits to my patience with the weather. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my summer holidays next week won't get completely ruined by the rain.
The Kid's boyfriend left this morning to return to England, but the Kid himself is staying in Amsterdam for just under a week still. A weird incident this morning had revived Daniel's dream of Michel with a vengeance. After having dropped his boyfriend off, Daniel had returned home and had lied down on his bed just a bit more when he had heard Michel's front door. I have no idea how he managed but with enormous speed he'd gotten dressed again and had run out of the house, walking down a street parallel to the street Michel was walking through (presumably on his way to the station.) At the end of that street, right at Dam Square, they had stood opposite each other very briefly - for the first time in 2.5 years -... before each of them walking on without saying a word. Daniel, when he mentioned the incident over Skype just minutes later, said he was happy that it happened. That seeing Michel again had given him closure. That remains to be seen because to me it seems as if Michel's grip on him continues as ever before. I'm sure this will a case of "to be continued"...
