Week 7 Off to Amsterdam

Week 7

Not much this week.......(written Thursday evening).
(because we are going to Amsterdam for the weekend - including Scheveningen for a musical: The Lion King).

on Monday we had this...at 0815.

and this....

and then, on the 15th we had the warmest 15th of February on record - 18 degrees in Maastricht and 14 in the Deep North (Wijnjewoude).

Ben came home during the week. He is still unpacking and trying to settle into a new routine. Doesn't appear to be any new schoolwork, but he still has some things to finish off. He is doing a bit of modelling work to earn some money!

He has booked a two-week Journalism Course at a University in Moscow! Booked the flight for March already. He seems very adept at getting around on his own. I recently learned something about Gorbachev setting up a newspaper with his Nobel Prize winnings. A journalist in Moscow doesn't sound like the best of professions......

From Hong Kong.....

sate flavoured Kit Kats with 8% alcohol - not very good, according to Ben (which is why it made it's way home to our place).

....off to Amsterdam!
