Update

And again, a crazy weekend.

Friday beginning of the afternoon, my granddad died.
I don't want to say too much about it, just that who ever thinks that euthanasia in the Netherlands is so easy, can think again. We literally had to beg for some morphine because he was in such pain and even that took very very long. In the end his heart finally stopped.

Anyway.
I hope Oma & Opa are together again and despite the last hours, smiling down on us again.

That evening someone who organizes the cremation came over, we decided what we wanted my granddad to wear, when the cremation would take place (Wednesday 11.30), where, how many people were expected, what we wanted written on the cards, what kind of music we wanted played, if there were a lot of people going to speech, if we wanted the coffin to be layered while we were there, how many cars to follow the coffin, etc etc.

Saturday morning while writing the envelopes, someone came over who was giving an estimate for the bathroom.
We have been living here for almost 8 yrs now and since day 1 we've been saying; one of these days we ought to do something about that bathroom.
That day is nearly there!

After i had given the key to the painter who came to do the office we went to several of these sanitary/kitchen/tile shops and decided on a rough idea about the bathroom.
Tub is going out. Sauna is coming in.

Sunday was spend at the Filmfestival.
I had ordered tickets about 6 months ago, and this time had not lost them (!)
I saw Cover Boy (about a Romanian boy trying to make it in Italy), No Mercy for the Rude, a Korean movie about a mute hit killer (sounds worse than it was), the mark of Cain (British movie about the misconduct of British soldiers in Iraq, the movie won the Movies that Matter award).
Then Robbert raced home and brought back Rachel with the car and the 2 of us saw some Argentinian b&w movie about Mr TV and the people in his city (too weird to explain) and the last one was an American documentary about a Japanese artist (I am Grand Master Artist).
A very nice and distracting day.

And life goes on.
