I am fine. Pretty damn good, actually.

So it's been a while since my last post. Hm, why is that? Because I did not have to share anything. Well, it happens. The good news though about this is that obviously I am pretty damn good ;-) But let me tell you a few things now. 

Yesterday, my lilbro Dani returned from his New York trip and we even briefly chatted. I am thrilled he is back 'cause I missed him a lot. It's part of my day (and I don't want to call it a routine 'cause it's not) to talk to Dani so it's great he's back! Missed ya, lilbro! Don't miss to check his own blog because I'm sure he will have something to tell about his trip (which unfortunately had some hassles...).

My friend Timo has made a fantastic effort and guess what, he invited me for a short mini-cruise with DFDS from IJmuiden to Newcastle and back! Isn't that something?! I am thrilled and can't wait! We are leaving on sunday (13APR) evening and will return on tuesday morning. Yay, I am so excited and curious! We both are working, even on sunday so it'll be a bit tiring on sunday but I think it's all worth it. 

Last Friday, Jelle and I finally ordered a new bed! We are both so happy as this was something we already needed for a long time. We would have loved to buy a Hästens bed but that's unfortunately something beyond reach for our small purses. So in the end it became an Ikea bed that has been tested and compared with Hästens and guess what: it reached the same marks! It's made of all the same natural stuff that Hästens also uses, except it's not purely handmade. Well, I don't mind that at all. The big advantage is that the price comes down big time, Ikea charges only a fraction of the price of Hästens (but still enough for us...). Good news for our future guests too: we ordered a new bed for you too! So we have double bed capacity in the near future and our first guests to try them will be Dani and Sera!

Then, after I was really upset about my mother recently we spoke again... ;-) She called and it's getting better again. Though my parents still sound a bit disappointed that they don't see me that often. I do understand that. But right now I'm in the middle of a process of changing things in my life and that's important. I need to sort out these things first and then I can attend to other matters. My blind uncle is in hospital and had a surgery but it's getting better again with him, luckily! I will have to call him.

Yesterday night, our ticket counter moved to a new location and today I will be working at the new location, I am curious how it will be and how everything went... usually there's always something going wrong...

I am pretty excited about new friendships developing! Not only my friendship with Timo is great, I also met Mika on flickr and facebook and at the same time, though independently, his friend Bernie. They are both such fine people and I am thrilled to have met them and can't wait to see them personally! Mika had the great idea of setting up a private group on flickr where we are all now meeting and gathering together, I love that possibility on flickr! Also Jelle, Jörg and William are invited to join our small "bear club" ;-) I really think this is a great idea, Mika! 

I love being busy seeing and meeting friends, talking to them, travelling with them, doing things together, having them over at our place! It's simply great and I've missed that a lot! I love it! 

Ok friends, that's it for today 'cause I really need to leave and go to work. Thanks for stopping by again and talk to you all later. Bye.
