May is in the middle of the short holiday-season. So we had Ascension Day last thursday and due to that: a long weekend. Most of that weekend however we spent cleaning and tidying up because yesterday the broker came to take some pictures of the house for the Funda site. Our landlady has the intention to sell the house and we are preparing ourselves for moving again. No concrete information yet but you are the first ones to know..hahaha.
This week Johan was involved in the closing of the sale of the 24 KPN towers to TDF, a French telecommunications company. Champagne! As you see Marijn is copying his grandpapparazi in his exploration for the eternal amount of images.
Love from Lia and johan.

A short story this time. Merle had her birthday and Jeroen Jansen also. Last week Johan was invited to join the opening of the renovated Woensel Shopping Center. About 10 years ago he was the chairman of the owners association. It was nice to meet 'old' collegues again. Thank you Pim.

Keep in touch and have a nice week
Love Lia and Johan

After 6 weeks of sunshine Holland is turning back to 'normal' again. As you can see at the right the Istanbul weather is back to normal also with heavy sunshine..Lots of rain her in the Low(frog)lands, so we decided to spend a day shopping in Amsterdam. We passed Madame Tussauds static wax museum and stepped into a frozen world of celeberties. After the visit Lia's shoulder was still frozen but that had nothing to do with George Clooney or Nelson Mandela....This was fun.
Last week we celebrated several birthdays: Raymond, Loes, Jeroen and Merle. The Dutch flag out for all of them.
We also learned that Suzanne had a traffic accident ,but now she is doing OK afterwards. Biking is dangerous in The Hague: she said she smashed the wind-shield of a Mercedes with her back of the head without a concussion of her brain. She really was lucky walking away after the crash.

We hope luck is knocking on your doors as well.

Love from Lia and Johan.
