Just brought Marion to Schiphol Airport where she left for her holiday to Hawaii. I will miss her, but as I already wrote in my article of yesterday, these holidays are for her to rest and regain power again.
When she is back again, I will take a day or two off so we can spend some time together.
But also it was today exactly a year ago that I moved from Haaksbergen to Heemskerk. Something that I really never regretted. It was a very good decision to do so. It is very good to have my own place again. Don’t get me wrong, the room that I rented in Amsterdam for more then a year was good and Gambheera helped me a lot by renting it to me. But here in my own house I can do almost anything I want, invite anyone who I want and change things like I really want them. And of course this house gives me so much more privacy and that is of course something that is very important.
I still can remember very how we moved all the stuff from Haaksbergen to Heemskerk. Patrick with his orange “feuerwher” Volkswagen bus with trailer… and Hans who drove all the way from Haarlem with his car and trailer to help to move my stuff.
And Mic, Menno and Tom who helped in Heemskerk to unpack the cars and trailers. I still really appreciated what they done over then for me.
Sure, there need things to be done to the house. For example the kitchen needs to be replaced and that is something I have planned for next year. Also I want a wooden floor (“Laminaat”) instead of carpet. But that is something for the future. I have all the time of the world.
Suddenly I have to think back that I was very afraid that my bed wouldn’t fit into the bedroom of the apartment. My bed is kinda large (2m40 x 2m40). It just fitted…. but I am happy that I have two doors to my bedroom (one from the living room and the other from the bathroom). The is not much room left to walk behind the bed :).
Anyway, Marion is happy that the bed fitted. At times I move a lot in my sleep and in a smaller bed that would wake her up when she stays with me.
The apartment is for me alone big enough and even when Marion is here it is big enough for that. And most of all, I feel comfortable here.
I so agree. It is very important to have place that you can call your own. And I like you house. It is very nice to be here.
Right now I am busy with my own new house. I am all excited about it.
Wow, 1 year already?
It was fun moving you from Haaksbergen to Heemskerk. In the bright orange bus with very yellow trailer 😀
And you have a nice home in Heemskerk.
But is miss our evenings at Markt 2. Haaksbergen was close enough to go by bike (on a warm summer day)
Heemskerk always take’s some planning. But it’s stil only the other side of the Netherlands and not the world.
And i really am looking forward to the Paganfest. That is 1 religion i like. Drinkin Beer and listening to great (or not so great but who cares ? LOL ) music
