I don't think I'll ever leave this place for good - well, not voluntarily anyway. Thanks for the good wishes! :)

Have a wonderful time!   :)


Thanks Carol! :)

Will do!


Is it the same place as last year you're going to?


Nope (this year we'll be going to Roden), but there won't be any internet activity... :\'(

I'm leaving. :\'(

Henk, I was about ready to get a tissue  :\'(  nice fake out but don't ever do that again  ;D. You'll be missed. Have  a great holiday/vacation and I look forward to welcoming you back when you return.

Have a fantastic time Henk.

Hope you have a great holiday Henk

Make sure your travels are safe ones, Henk.

I expect a full report when you return, my friend!

Thanks all! :) I will be careful, and hope to enjoy my holiday, but you can never be sure about the weather in this country. It's steamin' hot right now, but it could all be over by next week... :-\\

As for the full report: I don't think I'll have much to tell. Apart from that, I'm not known for my elaborate stories.

I almost, ALMOST, got scared by that.. but then I realized if you really had to leave for good, you'd have explained why in the first part of the message.

Then I saw the blank space and I was affirmed that it was a joke.

Have a safe and great vacation Henk! :)

Take care on your hols!

It's good to know it scares people to think I was leaving. But you're right, I would NEVER go without a full explanation. I'd go with a bang!


Have a safe and great vacation Henk! :)



Take care on your hols!


You bet I will do all that is in my power to make it a great one. Lord knows I need a break (from work - not from you lot!)

Are you going anywhere nice?

Are you going anywhere nice?


Of course! It wouldn't be much fun if it wasn't nice. ;)

We're going to the village of Roden; we've been there a couple of times before so we know what to expect. We'll do the usual sightseeing, shopping and the like. I just hope the weather holds. :-\\

Please make sure you have a good rest.


I make no promises
I make no guarantees
It makes no difference
When you're all lost at sea

Try me for money
You can try me for days
I'll be indifferent
When you've none, you can't pay


Sorry - couldn't resist. 8)

Henk, have a most pleasant holiday... and stay cool  8)

Wow, it must be the time for vacations here in the 00s! Hope you have a great time!  :)

Yes, you had me almost going there too.  ;)


Have fun!  8)

Have a nice one,Henk.  ;)

I'm back :)

I'm back :)

Glad to see you back.  :)  Did you have a nice trip?

Glad to be back! :D

Trip was alright I guess, although not exactly as planned due to the weather conditions. :P Full report to follow.

Welcome back Henk.  :)

Glad you had a nice Summer vacation with the family, Henk! :)

I'm back :)
glad you are back Henk. Hope you had a wonderful time. see ya around

Full report still to follow, but I can already tell you that we did a lot of shopping. Apart from a shipload of clothes I bought the following CDs:

The Who  - Live At The Royal Albert Hall (triple CD)

Basement Jaxx - The Singles

Kaiser Chiefs - Employment

They were only EUR 25* for the three of them, so I couldn't resist. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, though...




* that's USD 31.92 / CAD 35.92 / GBP 16.86 / AUD 41.61 / NZD 50.39

Basement Jaxx - The Singles


A fantastic choice 8)

Single Disc or 2-Disc Special Edition?

A fantastic choice 8)


I knew you'd agree! ;D


Single Disc or 2-Disc Special Edition?


The single disc edition, and the box appears to be broken. Oh well - that's easy to replace.

I should have gotten the single disc one.  When it came out, I opted for the 2-Disc edition cause it was only $1 more.  It comes in a custom cardboard slipcover package which is easily damagable  :\'(

Wonderful to have you back, Henk!  :)

Time to give you the full report (well, sorta...) as promised.

From July 29 to August 12 we (my parents, one of my sisters, my younger brother and me) spent our holiday in the village of Roden. We have been there several times before, but since my mother is in a wheelchair we have limited choice when it comes to holiday resorts.
We had been looking forward to this and were expecting the glorious weather of the previous weeks would sustain.
Temperatures of about 22-25

Good to have you back, Henk...

Ah! The wet stuff! Always comes with a vengence when you don't want it to, eh?

Sorry to hear that it put a 'dampener' on your break... :-\\

Still, at least you did eventually get to go to a flea market...

(And here's the punchline...)

How many fleas did you buy?  :D



(Gets coat and leaves...)

Seriously...hope your father's okay...

I'm back :)



Glad to see you Henk. ;)

Fleas were free. They came with the coat I bought.



(Gets coat and leaves...)



Hey - that's....


  :-X ::)

...Never mind.


Seriously...hope your father's okay...


Yes he is. It was just a one day thing. :)

Glad you're back, Henk!

The board wasn't the same without ya!
