I'd much rather hear Dweezil playing with the Metropole Orchestra than banging on about guitar technique. He's not one of my favourite people and I'm not particularly motivated to go to a guitar workshop. Although, a few years back, I went to a free saxophone workshop with a visiting bari sax player from some French Orchestra and he gave me some very useful tips.

Any class's success is so depending on its teacher huh.

At least the Dweez Or No Dweez matter has been settled on account of the show having sold out, so no ticket for me. I could still go to Adrian Belew playing Talking Heads.

That sounds very cool...

Today a large flea market at the local ice rink, I wanted to visit it but there were also groceries to do. So I got up early, did the groceries, cycle home with 5kg of potatoes, plus meat and veg...

And then a large puncture. Shoot.

Walked he rest home and loaded everything into the fridge, start fixing the tire. There were 2 punctures across from each oter, which was very odd. I patched them both, had lunch, replaced the tire and on the safe side, went to the flea market using another bicycle.

Flea market was disappointing. Nothing of interest found.

I like a good flee market and yard sales, do they do yard sales or garage sales in your neck of the woods?

You probably became victim of a snakebite (as we call it in the trade): If you wonder what a snakebite puncture is! That usually happens when your tire hits hard against something and both edges of the rim cut into the inner tube.
As a mountaincyclist i always carry a set of tools in my backpack including a replacement tube cause i hate to push my bike back home from elsewhere. Strictly recommended

Yard and garage sales not so much, flea markets tons. Once May hits you can expect them weekly.

I didn't hit anything there, as it's a clean and smooth cyclepath (I don't really go off-road lugging a bag of potatoes) . That same bag would have made fixing the tire there and then a bit awkward. But yes, I have travelled with a bicycle repair kit in the past. Luckily most trajects I cycle on are walkable within an hour so not much is lost in such cases. Plus the Netherlands has a good bicycle repair network with plenty of cafes and such offering tools to cyclists in need.

My Whitsun plans were altered due to the massive train strikes out here. I had scheduled to go to BF on Friday, so on Saturday I could squeal uncontrollably at "my" seal Pearl, who was to be released on Sunday. But due to the train strikes, I wouldn't be able to make it even to work. I asked if a swap was possible, but no. I couldn't share car with fellow colleagues either. The seals suddenly looked to be out of reach - and then I got a laptop so I could work from home.

Of course my home office is no longer active, but my BF still has the home office option - so I went up North on Thursday, worked there on Friday, went to the unbearably cute seals on Saturday and made over 300 a-do-ra-ble photos that leave me in a puddle of squeals, spent Sunday here (became crowded due to nephew/nieces) and am still here - was due to go home, but tomorrow there are strikes again, so I'm here for two more days as I'm free on Wednesday.

My piccies will be ready when I get home, in the mean time you can fawn over the tiniest baby seal Myrthe and other gorgeous lovelies here:

Got home with 449 pictures of seals made in 7 hours time, or more than 1 per minute. And yes, I do squeal when I see them and yes, I already pummled my colleagues with them.
