Today people left behind: an unopened bottle of wine and a red umbrella. Thanks!

The tourists leave so many great things behind! All the time I'm finding useful objects like money and food (still in the plastic, unopened). I've also found a map of Amsterdam, a working pair of headphones and today: a good bag! It wasn't as if they had accidentally left it: they had literally pushed it into the garbage. I'm keeping it.

Today saying goodbye to ANOTHER good friend... This time it was really hard. Let's say it was good that we had a handkerchief.

Today I said goodbye to a good friend who returned, after one year, to his home country. It was great to have met this person.

Today a large group of teenage girls came to rent the waterbikes. They had to wait for more people so in the meantime they played games.

Tonight I heard Beethovens 8th symphony live.
Also, the dutch part of YFU has used a picture of us on the marathon as their front picture. Quite cool!

Yesterday's Taizé-prayer was great, once again. This time the people from the group that traveled to Taizé were there.

I've been struggling to find a good way to record my piano to the laptop. I tried midi-cables and recording l&r channels separately through the Microsampler. No succes. But with this little thing called an audio-interface the quality of the sound stays perfect and it streams directly into the laptop. It's pretty cool :)

Vandaag ging ik naar een lunchconcert in het concertgebouw. Het was mooie muziek: Frans met Spaanse invloeden, voor viool en gitaar.
Daarna ging ik naar mijn opgave voor het vrijwilligerswerk: een Portugese vrouw met de computer helpen. Het was een erg aardige en enthousiaste vrouw die me een ijsje als dank gaf.

I'm up to a cover of Sprout and the Bean by Joanna Newsom. I shot some nice footage while we were in Taizé.

Today I discovered a forest that is close to my home. A forest in Amsterdam, who would have thought that? The silence of the forest is really nice.
