WAITING WITH A STAR

So we’re back in the Netherlands. A couple of weeks ago a very nice Swedish doctor advised me to see a specialist back home. The sooner the better. And as everybody knows, I always listen to good advice, so we jumped on a plane about a week later. Leaving our beloved onehullfloatinglady behind.

Well I didn’t really jumped, suffering from serious shortness of breath and dizziness when moving faster than slow at the time, but we made it.

So far so good. After visiting specialists and hospital it seems there’s a little problem with my heart. It’s not pumping strongly enough. Which was very surprising to me. As I didn’t even knew it was still there as I though that I had given it to Leonie ages ago.

But ok, I spare you the details, we’re now waiting for an appointment for an MRI-scan. And waiting and waiting. Waiting …

And since patience is one of my good qualities, we decided to make the best of it and wait for what is to come together with our 4wheelmachine.

Don’t they always say, home is where your heart is?

CAULIFLOWER AGAIN?

Yep. We’re back in the Netherlands for a couple of days. We have some appointments with serious and less serious people, family and friends and hopefully we’ll even do some funny things.

Maybe we might visit Vlieland for a quick meet and greet with more serious and less serious people, family and friends.

Then perhaps we’re heading towards Makkum to check if it’s all ok with the serious and less serious people at the marina, the M-jetty, the supermarket and the boatshop in town.

And i’m pretty sure we’re even going to visit some more people, serious and less of course.

It looks like it’s going to be a busy week.

STRÖMSTAD – LAST NIGHT

I really had trouble falling asleep last night. I just got used to the music and singing from the last couple of nights when it was completely and unexpected quiet yesterday evening.

The stormy wind, we had gales up to 50 knots, died slowly down to a gentle breeze. I think everybody went to bed early.

So I just lay there, wide awake, counting fish jumping on a hook. Which sometimes works because you have to wait so long before one finally bites. Then without any warning the fish started singing.

First gently but later on all together, ‘heeeeeeheheeeeeey baby, hu ha, i wanna knoooohohohooooohhoow if you be my girl, huu haaa’.

I haven’t heard all the other songs anymore. I immediately fell asleep like Sleeping Beauty.
