Hi good people of the world!
It's been a while since I my last post and that has a reason: I have been busy.
Especially at work it has been quite full-on, as some big project we are doing, was about to go completely wrong and we had to work hard to keep the customer happy and on board. If that wasn't enough my good friend and most direct colleague, Arnold, had bad tidings in his private life (Arnold, my thoughts are with you guys) and couldn't work for the last few weeks. Obviously that he made the right decision not to work, but still this meant even more difficulties at work. Anyway, the last weeks I have barely done anything more than work, eat and sleep. Still I am trying to do my things: sorting through my stuff I put in storage 5 years ago, wondering what to do with it now and getting it to work or in the right place, sorting, processing (scanning) and looking at all the pictures of the big 4,5 year travel and trying to give some attention to old and new-made friends. I have to admit that the last issue is not going that great. People how know me, know that I am not to good in replying with emails and phone-calls and the people how don't know me that well, you know it now... Sorry guys, for not writing and phoning you as much as I would like you too, but I am just not so good at this stuff and besides that I am still struggling to organize my life. But I am trying to catch up at least a bit and to write very short messages (although I not very good in that neither...) to all of you.
For the future, I am very looking forward to Nora coming to visit me soon! Half June she will fly-in to Madrid and I will go there by car to pick her up. From there we will try to see as much of Europe as we can for 3 to 4 weeks. The last week (2nd week of July) we will arrive in the Netherlands, as I probably have to work that week, while Nora will sightsee some of my country.
After Nora's visit I have a contract for this job until the end of July and then me and my employer will have to see what we can mean for each other. Either way, the beginning of August I will also visit my dear friend Nico, who will be back in Sweden (from Japan, where he lived and worked for the past year and will for next year). As Sweden is a lot closer than Japan I will visit him there and hopefully also see something of this country (I have a good guide now!). I am also very looking forward to see him and his family, as it has been almost 5 years now.
Ok, that was my most interesting news for now. I hope to have nice stories next month during our travel of Europe!
Until that time, take care, lots of love to you all and maybe see you around! Dave
