Wishing you…
…a happy weekend filled with sun and fun! The UK and US will be enjoying a three-day weekend. Since I can claim affiliation with both of those countries, I’m giving myself the next three days off too! ;-) Roxi and her school jazz band have a gig tonight with Amsterdam saxophonist Rolf Delfos and a [...]
Perfect weekend weather
Mr. DJ and I took an anniversary bike ride this weekend. The weather was divine all three days, and it seemed like everyone was out cycling. Well, everyone except Roxi who had a massive English project and had to stay home most of the long weekend. Even the dogs were out! I think Trudy would [...]

Ask an Expat: Letting go and moving forward (or I’ve moved past senioritis, thank goodness!)
Roxi and I enjoyed coffee and this view from La Place’s balcony yesterday. V&D, Den Haag Centrum. Yesterday was Liberation Day in the Netherlands. It used to be celebrated every year, but in 2000 someone decided that it only would be celebrated every five years. Hmm. Anyway, I thought that city workers would be on holiday [...]
