Wake up early
Yep this morning I came out of bed at 5.45am, it's not a record but still after these busy weeks at work I had problem to get out. The other thing is that my big lover called me a few minutes before instate of calling me in the middle of my night. I'm not complaining because I like it very much when she's calling me. Friends ask me sometimes, what are you talking about at these time of the day. Well I can tell you, everything. Maybe their is a special programm for phonejunks like us, but till that time we have red ears from listen to eachother.
So now I put on the morning news and make my lunch and finally go to work while my lover is going home and go to bed, what a strange world.

Mmmm, well I'm back for a short write, I talked a lot with Lenore the last few days so now you people now why this guy didn't wrote.
The last few days I was busy again and yes till the next month I can't complain that I don't have work enough, better find a tree and put a rope around (lol) .
No I can't wait till Lenore is visiting me, first she should come after her trip to Nigeria in november but after the situation they cancelled the trip. Now I'm glad that she wanna come at the middle of december and fly back together, hopefully she get the day's off.
I try to climb to day but my condition was terrible, so I went home and finished my work earlier.

During this morning Gertie called me when I was still a sleep, if I had time for a walk in the forest at 2p.m. I said yes turned my lazy butt and fail in sleep again.
Finally I came out of my bed at 10.30am, did the laundry and ring their was a phone call again, it was Wim a nephew who I didn't saw for a long time. He wants to visite my parents in Belize and yes then I can talk for hours, so we did.

Finally finished
Crazy day at work, after we (Henk-Jan and I) change the astimate. We still had a problem with a the power supply, so we decide to wait. If we got the project we can also say what the problem is.
One thing is for sure, the engineer who make this advice don't where is talking about.
So tomorrow I discuss this with Martin my boss and make the price, hopefully it don't take long so I can start a new project who should be finished at wednesday.
When I drove home I called my kids what they did today, I talked with Marloes about her new Weblog. At the time I got home I took some salade and called Lenore before she's leaving for work.
I promised my neighbour to come over for the internet connection but I didn't know that her daughter was her for her birthday. So after a nice glass red wine I went home before all her friends are comming. Another promise is that I told Doris from Tree Tops (Caye Caulker, Belize) to put some pictures on my website. She has a nice hotel on the Island and told her that I want to promote it and yes my site is getting something finally.
Today it's "Prinsjesdag", our dutch Queen Beatrix is reading on her trone about how the country is doing and also how the the Goverment want to save money.
Well I didn't look at news yet, I heared already on the radio today that I gettting worse for our economy next year.
Everyone starting complain right now, they raise tax, taking our pension, what's getting more.
It's no fun to life over here.

Start of the week
Monday morning is always a problem to start, specially if you know what's waiting for you.
Their is a deadline to finish the astimate for a big project in the middle of the Netherlands.
Putting all the electrical stuff in to the computer befor 6pm, Henk-Jan was a big help today .
He still busy with his study but walk a few weeks in our compagny. And I can tell you he's far ahead of the other students. So just after 6pm we went home and took the stuff home for the last check. But first I went to the supermarket for some food for the night went home and called Lenore for my daily talk, it was not a record but still I'm counting the minutes in beers.
Just € 0.01 p/minute from the Netherlands to the States and yes we pay here at least € 1,80 for a beer in a bar. Ofcourse my cat Quintus like this time very much because I'm take the time to sit on the cauge.
After the call I start my check on the project and I found some small things, tomorrow we have still time to change it before I go to my boss. On thursday is the big day and most of the time we hear directly if we are the cheapest one from the five company.
But no time for it, their are still four project waiting.
Mmmm, it's almost twelve in the night, time to close my eyes.

During the day
It's Sunday around twelve and yes Lisette and Marloes are busy again with their favourite program The Sims 2, while Vincent just came out of the shower and jumped behind the other computer for a race game. So finaly I have the time to clean the front and back of the house but then my neighbour came and ask me about the broadbandconnection we both have.
She want to share her's because everything in the Netherlands get's expansive since we have this Goverment, this is a deal I told her and kick this connection out.
I went through all my email adresses from friends and send them an email about my new emailaccount, I was really lucky that I got my Gmailaccount yesterday.
After cleaning I went to Sandra and Theo a couple two doors from me, he's a Grand Pa since Thursday and he's still not used to it. But it was a bigger surprise for me to she their little Grand daughter Daniëlle. Oeps I forgot that they are married 19 years already so time for a beer.
For tonight I want do some work behind the laptop so I don't mass with my deadline for tomorrow. But before that I bring my kids home, take a drink at the climbinghall and take to Lenore who's still in bed because the 9 hours difference.
