CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

No, just shunted into a siding.

To continue the railway analogy, the line into the cafe was blocked this morning, points failure? Never mind, I'm here now and just about to press the button on my new ACME self erecting hammock. Stand back, I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, or worse, having a hammock strung around their necks.

My access to am has just come back this afternoon. Not all users had the system failure.....most odd :-)

Afternoon Opto

had no access here either

No Access here either but thats cos I was too mean to pay T-Mobile for a hotspot pass...

However after 2 days without web access I relented, actually 39 Euros for 7 days isnt bad.

Queens day here in Amsterdam today thousands of people on the street and the canals drinkling and 'smoking' shame I am to old to enjoy it ....

Given that Spacie is in Amsterdam, I am unsure as to what "Queen's Day" represents!

Socs, LOL but its maily the Queen Beatrix type of queen although the other type were also there.

Its a strange thing this queens day, mostly youngters walking about and drinking the strangest thjing for me was that by about 1830 most people had gone home ! seemed the wrong way round to me, when I was a student I would not have thouhgt of going out before about 2100.

What a bright, sunny day. Up at crack o'sparrows so lit the barbie. I've got a whole pig roast going so I hope there is plenty of help to eat it. Carve a chunk and help youselves to rolls, salad, drinks etc. If I fall asleep just give me a nudge.

Cats and dogs here Socs.

Fine here on the Coffee House patio, better come over here and indulge yourself, Jeffers.

Morning all, raining in Amsterdam, not that I have ventured out of the Sofitel yet today ;-)

Spaceman
Sounds like you need the first flight back for the pig roast!

Socs, at least it isnt a Lamb roast ;-)

Its been pissing down here all day, just come back to the hotel after a few hours getting wet and boring outrselfs silly in museums.

Time for an afternoon swing in the hammock and a danish.

Morning all, lovely day in Amsterdam, bright and sunny, a nice change after yesterday when it rained all day. We are off to De Bijenkorf store (sort of Dutch John Lewis) for some breakfast.

Good evening all, I think I will have a couple of pork butties, plenty left from yesterday as there were very few people around. A proper sandwich though, two loaves with a leg of pork between.

Evening Socco, couldn't manage one of your specials...nice slice would be lovely though :-))
Do you think it was quiet yesterday because there was no choice of meat?

I don't know Opto, perhaps I'm using the wrong soap.

Will the last one out please turn out the lights!

Hello Socco, no one will need to turn out the lights, everyones on their way home before dark, in fact there is only you and I and I am going 'home' now....byeeee have a nice evening perhaps choccy will pop in for a swing in the hammock with you. If not enjoy the trifle :-)
