Ho, ok. I wasn't aware of all this, since I don't go to Zappa.com anymore. He was still very young.

Crap ... that's really sad about KUIII.
Sorry, I haven't been around for a while, this renovation is driving me nuts. We've been living in the lounge room since 27th January and there's
still a couple of weeks to go.

Sorry to hear that Poly... it's for a good cause.
I went to the dentist again because of the pain I have been having - this time to good old Leo who has been my dentist for some 30-odd years. I
thought my wisdom tooth was going to be extracted, but my dentist thought otherwise. He couldn't explain the cause of my pain either - teeth and gums
are all looking fine and there are no infections. He did think we should wait half a year with the cleaning so my teeth can heal, if something's wrong
with them, and that extracting the wisdom tooth now was not a good idea (since it is not urgent).
I was also supposed to visit a colleague in hospital today but as it turns out the hospital doesn't allow visitors on Saturday.

No visitors on Saturday - that's nuts. I can't imagine being in hospital and having a day when no visitors are allowed.

I remember there were two visiting hours per day when I was up with my ankle - and that it was a bit tough that I didn't have anyone come by for one
morning (but then again I could leave that evening).

Went to visit him today with another colleague. He's doing a bit better and was very happy to see us.

I have Sunday and Monday off, which is fun. It is carnaval, is even more fun. Unfortunately most parades are being cancelled due to wind - basically
all the major ones and the ones near me.

Sister's sent me on a wild tune chase, looking for a specific tune played often in football matches. I haven't found it yet but I have found this
brilliant write-up on the Simpsons theme:

Unfortunately due to weather conditions over 50 carnaval parades were cancelled over the weekend - most parades in the south-east region where I hail
from. This is very nasty for the groups who spent half a year building a float and making costumes, only to find their hard work won't be shown at
all.
So the provincial channel Omroep Brabant gathered photos of as many floats and groups as they could. Have a nice look at the above link and enjoy!
(I'm partial to that elephant!)

Impressive floats - the Dutch seem pretty serious about float making. That’s a pity about the weather.

The south of the Netherlands, primarily. Though I went to Drogeham up north with BF, but that one was so tiny compared to the stuff I've seen...

Went to visit BF where I went bowling and baked 2 batches of peanut brownies for my colleagues. And I didn't even get injured!

That’s a nice change!
We’re still living out of the front room, but the work is nearing completion.

Had bad luck with my bicycle again - I left it about one third of the way to work and had to bring it home on the way back. The rear wheel wasn't
secured well enough and was loose to the point it couldn't be rolled anymore.So I walked to my work, walked back from my work, and had to lift my poor
bicycle home.
Upside down since the wheel wouldn't stay in.
At work a guy ringed whose wife had booked a home the night before and had failed pretty miserably - it was in a home that was too large since there
would only be 2 of them, it was a stay of 28 days which was too long - but more importantly the arrival was today (!) and the home itself was on a
holiday park that was 10 minutes away from the client's house.
'Course since a complete payment had already been made there was nothing I could do - and with arrival today it was 100% cancellation costs. With
cancellation costs that high we need a manager to accept a request for cost-free cancellation and of course during the weekend they actually have
weekend and are unavailable. Guy decided to keep his booking.

Well yes!
Anyway, that guy from my last post could cancel his booking for free, so all's well that ends well for him. Well almost. Park deducted €150 from the
costs on site he had already paid to the park, their standard policy for noshows. Still losing 150 is ten times less bad than losing 1500.
Currently my province is banning sporting events and concerts - Brabant is the hardest-hit province in The Netherlands. Work called me to ask if I
wanted to work from home. Sure, but my laptop is 10 years old and still going strong - it's not likely to handle the booking system, the toolbox for
access to e-mail and our booking system database, the phone programme, the chat for office communication, the planning, the company e-mail and the
company Facebook at the same time. The computers at work have enough trouble with that
