You know anyone who reads that will wonder why you're staying, right? Right. Bleak picture. I hope things change real soon. Unfortunately, one thing life has taught me is things only get gradually worse.
Utrecht. Pura and I had such a great time in Amsterdam. Has he ever been to Netherlands? Such a nice community. And tall, too!! Anyone ever mentioned that to you? I'm a little over 6 foot so all through EU and UK especially, I feel particularly tall. We'd often mention it out loud to each other how maybe it's the lack of Vitamin D but for whatever reason, the men are short.
Not Netherlands! I'm not making this up, even urinals in public toilets are a little higher than most in Netherlands. = }
Now that I think about it, @thebigsweed is Nordic and he's like 6-4 if I'm not mistaken.
My son won't have a problem with the urinals then 😜, he's much taller than his dad. His great grandpa was German & great grandma Norwegian, he must have inherited more of their genes as he was a tall man.
He's never been there before, is flying us over in May for my beeeg birthday so we can see the tulips, if things go according to plan.
It's pure greed by those in authority that's brought our country to this state.
For now we still have our little haven, & it's not all bad, but basic services like power, water, sewerage, roads and health and...and...are all falling down. The tourist destinations are still great, but getting there one is faced with roads that at are in a poor state. The big resorts all have costly electricity backup and water supplies. It's the poorest of the poor who suffer the most with unemployment. I'm painting a bad picture but things have just gotten worse ever since covid!
But we still have much natural beauty around us, for which we are thankful,
Have yourselves a great weekend @dandays!
Happy 40th!
Hahahahahahahahaha
flatterer, I'm almost double that, and you know it :):)
