His show is called "Baby...like that".  I recorded myself saying "Baby...like that"  and then played with the sound wave to produce the picture. 

31/03/2009  After 7 years the sofa and chairs were professionally cleaned today!  The "professional cleaner" confessed after being here 2 minutes, that he had only been on the job for 2 weeks!  My initial euphoria was somewhat reduced by this fact.  He wheeled in a HUGE blue machine that wouldn't have looked out of place in a hospital operating theatre during open heart sugery.  One hour later he announced that the job was done.  I can't say that I was impressed.  Admittedly, the chairs looked marvelous, but the sofa...well, I have done a better job in the past with Vanish foam and a J-Cloth!  After he left we realised that he had failed to clean the back of the sofa and the back of one chair!  COWBOY!  Gerlof was on the blower immediately, which resulted in him returning 15 minutes later to complete said task!  Thank goodness the insurance company are paying as it certainly wouldn't be the best 300 euros we have ever spent!

***NEWSFLASH***  Mum and Dad's new summer house is in the front garden waiting to be assembled by the "Summer House Fairies"  To protect it from the elements, it's under tarpaulin.  Unfortunately, Mum can't say the word tarpaulin, instead it comes out as tapraulin! :-)  BLESS!

30/03/2009  Had some weird dreams last night.  Can't remember exactly what they were about, but I know there was a dishwasher involved at some juncture!  Now, those of you who know me, know just how much I loathe dishwashers, (so I guess technically my dream was a nightmare!).  Why is it that a gadget that is supposed to improve the quality of our lives requires more attention than a teething two-year old?  You must use a cleaner, a freshner, salt, all-in-ones, powerballs, etc. etc. etc.  If this wasn't enough you need to install a christmas tree ornament inside to stop it attacking glasses.  Come on everybody, (ooh I sounded just like Eddie Cochran then!), throw caution to the wind.  Fill up the kitchen sink with some hot water, squirt in some Fairy and get scrubbing.  Think of the lbs you will burn!  Also it's cleaning the sink at the same time!  Clever huh!  Remember when the kitchen sink was used for more than just rinsing specks of dirt of your lollo rosso and shitaki's! It's the year of Retro so ban the dishwasher!  If your neighbours see you washing up and think the "credit crunch" is affecting you particularly badly, then just tell them you are doing it to save the environment!  That will wipe the smile off their faces.  And whilst they are there, tell them to switch off the lights each night in their Coy Carp Pond.  Haven't they heard of Earth Day?

29/03/2009  We went to Panama last night.  The night-club not the Central American country with a big canal.  We managed to win 2 free tickets for Sunday night Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! (If you could see me typing that, I was doing it with "Jazz Hands", it was really quite impressive!).  Anyhoo, we dragged our sorry asses off the sofa and cycled through the city, which although was freezing cold was actually quite lovely.  Saw two and a half rainbows over the water by Central Station...magical!  All credit where credit's due, they made an effort.  The lights were dimmed; little tables with candles were dotted around the central floor, (reserved for dinner guests only); and smooth, mellow jazz was being piped through the PA.  However, the lack of smoke, people drinking herbal tea and the absence of anyone with an African hertitage, quite frankly didn't quite cut it for me.  We sat at the back on folding plastic chairs, sipping over-priced beer like we were waiting for the number 18 bus!  It was more New Malden than New York.  The band were certainly competent enough, and the "special guests", were talented.  It was a little disconcerting, however, when the band left the stage as the female Turkish jazz singer, (who the organiser "found on the internet"), broke out into a traditional sad Turkish love ballad, (which I loved), only to return when she had finished warbling.  We left in the intermission.

25/03/2009  Heard back from Laureate, the online university people that I went for an interview with last week.  Whilst they thought I was a stunning candidate, they chose someone else!  "Am I boffered?"  No, quite frankly.  The flowers are beginning to bloom, the sun is peeking through the clouds.  Swap that for 8 hours a day on the 13th floor in the ugliest past of Amsterdam?  Dahhh, what do you think?!

25/03/2009  Loading these first couple of pages to test.  All reactions welcome.  Will work on a photo page shortly...once they have all been vetted, airbrushed and squeezed horizontally!

24/03/2009  The water damaged floor in the living room was finally replaced!  After 2 months!  I am over the moon as we can finally clean the house properly!  Gerlof, as you can imagine is thrilled by this prospect. :-)

22/03/2009  Our friends Aisling & Peter announced the arrival of their firstborn.  Sean Riley Thomas.  Poor Aisling had to undergo a C-Section.  Ouch!  Here's wishing them lot's of love and kisses.

21/03/2009  Spoke with Mum, Dad and Jane.  They returned last week from a weekend romping through Sherwood Forest, courtesy of Center Parcs! (Yes, that is the American spelling of CENTRE!)  Apparantly all went well, the sun shone, and they didn't scare the wildlife too much.
