Pole position

You have to agree with me, the placement of this pole is a bit akward...

[ pedestians are warned..! ]

Don't mess with the poles...

Swimmingpool

From my balconny I can just see it, the swimmingpool of the neighbours of the neighbours of my neigbours of my neigbours...

[ four houses further I mean... ]

The starnge thing is that nobody is using it. Wait a minute, I think it's the garden of the child daycare centre. They are of course closed today. Would anybody notice if I climb four fences..?

Wear did I keep my swimming trunks..?

Attic office

This week and the next I'll be in Utrecht. In a beautiful top floor I working on several small projects.

[ fortunately the attic is equipped with an airconditioner... ]

Nice office in the centre of Utrecht...

Pear ice

Weather is hot, time for icecream!

[ and a simple pear icicle is enough to make me very happy... ]

Mmm, Festini pear ice, nice...

Flowers from the boss

Today I received another bouquet of flowers in the office!

[ if you like flowers, participante in the 4 day marches... ]

More Gladiolus flowers; the official 4 day marches flower...

I will keep this bouquet in the office, so everybody can enjoy them!

200 km in 4 days

I completed the 4 day marches in Nijmegen. 50 kilometers a day, 4 days in a row. The atmosphere was great, lots of people were lining the routes, cheering the walkers on.

[ handing out sweets and drinks... ]

Now I'm back home with a nice shiney medal, flowers and a thick right knee.

This is what you get for walking 200 km...

Oh, on the Dutch version of my blog (Drup) I posted a day by day report, using my mobile phone.

Collected starting permit

Today I collected my starting permit. Tomorrow I'll be travelling to Nijmegen to start the 4 day marches.

[ I can start walking on tuesday 4:00 am... ]

Startbewijs en eerste knipkaart, nog 200km te gaan...

Oh, if you are happening to be in Nijmegen and feel like meeting up for something to drink, send me a Text message...

[ and I will be able to tell you where I am... ]

Quiet night in

Today it was time for another quiet night in. First we had a proper curry in the office before going to the Quiet night in event.

[ seeing British comedy sketches all night with a beer and some waffles... ]

British comedy on the big screen...

Homemade strawberry jam

A colleague made liters of strawberry jam over the weekend. Too much to eat by himself, so he brought a jar to the office.

[ you have to be quick, it's nearly gone already... ]

David, any more jars left over at home..?
