It looks like its got a powerful search engine, and its missions is to stop people being couch potatoes. Hence... no spuds. Miss J. Miss A, looks like right up your alley(s)!

What I've been doing

• Scrabble.
• Watching "Che Part 1" in the original Spanish with only Dutch subtitles. Hard core, huh? Picked up less than 50% of the dialogue but it makes you pay attention to body language and cinematography.
• Growing seedlings on the window sill. Watch those little babies go, now that day time temp has rocketed from 6 degrees to 16 in the space of 3 weeks.
• Taking a new resident to Amsterdam bike riding around town
• Seeing Kirsta and 3-month-old Max.
• Talking to old mates on skype.
• Case study and report writing and other arcane measures to create new work.
• Avoiding red wine because apparently it makes tinnitus worse.
• Worrying about climate change.
• Worrying about the economic down turn and thinking it might be time to get a real job.
