Our home in Bingelder (= Bingelrade, Limburg, Netherlands)

First we would like to make some comment. Due to our moving we do not have access to any kind of media, nor time to read, hear or see them. Therefore we only heard of the terrible news very, very late in the evening. 010203 will be a tearful day to remember for a lot of people. We mean of course the accident with the Space Shuttle Columbia. Space-travel-fan Boi was very shocked when he heard the news at last, and when he told Nicole right after, she was shocked as well. This was a black day in modern space-age history. Our own little party has gotten a black background.
Second, we would like to make good for an omission:

The bread and salt that Dad and Ma brought along. We totally forgot to make a picture yesterday.

There's not a lot to tell today. Not because we didn't do anything, hell no! It's only that we both did jobs that took us the whole day to complete. Nicole was busy in the kitchen, filling cupboards and cabinets. All food and utensils are now in Bingelder, the kitchen at the flat is now empty -except for Boi's magnificent stove. Nicole was busy with that all day.
Boi gave the immense wall a second lick of paint. That wall is completed now, thank you very much. And he made some preparations for painting the other walls, so Dad and he can start immediately tomorrow.
Lastly we fitted some screens to the windows upstairs. The first one took about twenty minutes, the other seven took about five minutes each. It was one of those "translated" manuals, you see.
Tomorrow the phone-connection moves, together with ADSL of course, so tomorrow we can update you in peace from Bingelder.
Oh, and of course congratulations to Wim and Max. Our first year of marriage will be in september, so that will take some time yet.


Nicole has a short moment to sit down.


Boi too.                                                             But not too long.                                           Done!
