Zwarte Piet and more sunshine

What a wonderful surprise this day was. Sunny weather, in a part of the year we usually have rain, wind and a lot of really cold weather. I had to go home during lunchtime to walk Basil and I gave myself the luxury to spend a bit more time outside and went by bike this morning. This means I have to bike the road from home to the university twice today. That was no punishment at all. I’ve enjoyed the sun at my face and of course there was a lot of wind, but who cares as long as the sun is there? I’m already looking forward to go home in an hour and hope I can sit outside for a few moments after five. I keep my fingers crossed we have this at Texel in two weeks. I think it’s too much to wish for. 



Then something else, everybody is making a real issue of our Zwarte Piet, even de VN is involved now, it’s too crazy for words I think, however I’m afraid that we have to get used to a colored Piet in the future. Colored is also wrong to use for some people so I think we have to call them just Piet.

Eight month's of silence

How fast time goes is something you aware at the moment you look back. Just like I did when I saw the date of my last post, Februari 2013! How on earth can I get better as I'm not practice at all. Exam advanced has to wait a bit longer than December that'sfor sure. So I won't bother you with all the things I have done these last eight months, I just start with today. This morning I had to go with Basil to the vet. Do get his teeth cleaned. I don't know a proper translation for the Dutch word "gebit" and therefor used teeth, however I think there is another word to explain this, maby something as dental cleaning.

As from yesterday evening Basil was not allowed to eat so I had to do his late round alone, because Jan Cees couldn't handel not to give him his treat during the walk. The hero;-(  This morning Bas and I left for the vet round 8.45 hours, and one hour later he was sleepy and ready for the "narcose" I could stay during the cleaning and luckely it was not neccesary to remove elements. With a dizzy but awake dog and a bag of new special dental food I was back home again round noon. Basil has slept almost the whole afternoon and he also eat some of his new food.
