Guus Bosman

Came back from Amsterdam. Had a Whopper in McDonalds...

We brought David and Milena, our German friends, back to the trainstation. Then we had a drink and dinner... a cosy Sunday evening.

"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me".

Found this quote I've been looking for in Dr. Dobbs Journal, it's from Isaac Newton obviously.

Every morning it gets a little bit easier to go to work, don't feel completely broken anymore in the morning :) Today the finishing touch on my paper, then I'll deliver it at the VU. Today Jonathan, Irena & Ilana will visit my parents -- the usual things: the Afsluitdijk, the hole in the dike, the sluizen.

It's over... I finally knew what day the Royles are broadcasted (Tuesday), and then I read at Bieslog that yesterday's episode was the last one. It is really one of the best comedy's I know -- especially Jim (the father, see picture) was my favourite.

Just came back from the airport. Unfortunately, all nice things have an end -- Sasha's parents went back to Bulgaria. Ìíîãî, ìíîãî ïîçäðàâè îò âñè÷êè òóê!

Congratulations! My father has a birthday tomorrow, we're celebrating today. Ettie has a digital camera, therefore we made some pictures.

Nice -- weekend. After my first full-time week at my internship it's nice to sleep in a morning. Had a very quiet day, reading a bit, coffee... the likes. In the mean time I'm recording some songs for Íàäÿ, from internet.

Hah, Jonathan arrived safely -- his trip took a lot longer than it should have; but at least he arrived. A luggage-truck crashed into his aircraft while it was loaded with the luggage! "we have good news, and we have bad news: the bad news is that we have a hole in the aircraft and won't be able to fly - the good news is that there'll be another plane in a few hours..."
