summer in the city (in april?)

It’s incredibly beautiful in Amsterdam at the moment. Everything is getting a fresh green colour, the sun is shing brightly and warm, what a beautiful day to get your mother and spend it in the city with her while your husband stays at home and watches the small one. Oh well. ;)

To be honest, I am sitting here, reading the newspaper and science fiction, I don’t mind at all. After the last weeks I appreciate some silent moments where I can just idle and “unstress” myself.

This weekend will be > 20 degree, lots of sun, monday is “Koninginnendag” – the queen’s birthday, tuesday is labour day, it looks like we are going to spend a long weekend and a lot of time with the small guy :)

Other people perceive spring in a different way:
The peasants in the villages round Amsterdam are putting cow shit on the fields to nourish their fresh crop.
The neighbours thought it’s cool to barbecue on the balcony on the 11th floor, smoking us on the 13th.
The sewage pipe system of our building did not survive the sudden activity of its users and decided to burst.

As I write this, it smells of cow shit, human piss and barbecue. Lovely!
Vincent only produces small amounts of production (on both ends) but they add to the sensation.
Plus: 6th May i’m going to turn 30 and my parents are coming over, too.

It can only get worse, eh? ;)

I was in the city this morning to finally claim warranty for my macbook, I posted some pictures about it earlier. No problems at all. I will get a new cover. Also the battery will be get a prolongation of warranty because it is not performing up to standards.
Ahwell, someone told me once never to buy the first series but however, I will get it replaced, so I don’t worry. (I think about extending the warranty, however)
On I went to the Nokia care point, as I have destroyed my new E60 due to a broken firmware update (I shouldn’t have had run it in windows emulation, maybe…)
Also this will be covered by warranty. Nice!

Well, I don’t really feel like writing about something, I’ll just file this as “diary for my later life – probably a boring moment” because this is the best I can imagine :)

P.S.: Only kidding about the birthday, probably there will be a barbecue with the guys from verizon. And beer… lots of beer ;)
