"And it's back to 40 hours of Facebook a week!
OFFICE! Did I say Facebook? Huh, funny that... Office, that's what I meant..."
That's what I put on Facebook early in the morning as I returned to the office after my holiday. Yes, that holiday is gone again; two weeks of wonderful nothingness over. But I have enough trips to look forward still, so I can't be too sad. In less than a month I will be in Barcelona for nearly a week of just beach and relaxation and nothing else. Then, at the end of September I will be in Madrid for my birthday weekend. There will be a trip to London in October with Hanno as well, as well as a visit to Glasgow, also in October. And I'm sure there will be some more visits abroad before the end is over.
Here in Amsterdam there are some party weekends coming up as well. Hartjesdagen on Zeedijk is coming up in a couple of weeks and before that, namely next weekend, Amsterdam will see its biggest party of the year when Pride weekend is on the calendar. The flags in the picture above were placed on several bridges throughout the city to remind people of the upcoming party weekend.
In other good news today: it seems that the ground floor of my building will finally see some activity again. I had an email from the person who is the administrator of our home owners association and apparently there will be a sushi bar opening fairly soon. That's great news because for months now the ground floor has looked terrible, after the coffeeshop that was there was forced to close by the city. First the shutters were down for a long time, but now they are up and it seems that there's been some demolition work done. Unfortunately one of the windows is now broken because of that but at least something seems to be happening again.
