Had a busy week at school, few weeks actually. Went to school myself for the second time Friday, had a lot of fun with my former colleagues Lideke and Trudy, learned a bit in the morning and thought the afternoon was a waste of time. I'm dreading the eight assignments I'm supposed to write the next months, the 11 Fridays will be a welcome break. Hopefully come spring I'm a qualified teacher. Last night I spoke to [livejournal.com profile] harns on MSN first, later to [livejournal.com profile] tammietam, it was late before my bed saw me.

I accepted the apartment/house I was offered, in two/three weeks I'll get the key. More busy times ahead then. Tomorrow I will leave for Sint Maarten for a week. To see Norbert again, an old study friend of mine, but also to have a break, enjoy the sun, see some beach, read some good books. Next to that I will do some work and hopefully next year some of my students will be working on that lovely little island. Gives me a chance to go and visit them.

Dreaded the news that a suicide bomber killed several in Helsinki. I hope [livejournal.com profile] invisiblechild is okay, as are all her friends and family. I am still trying to remember [livejournal.com profile] dreamdancer's new name, but I'll read my friends list tonight, so I'll find out. Would have loved to discuss some recent footy developments with [livejournal.com profile] harryroberts, but I don't have the time, nor do I have the impression that he is following as closely as he used to. Can't remember reading much by the latina's [livejournal.com profile] caniche and [livejournal.com profile] mvp on my friends page, but I assume they are as busy as I am. [livejournal.com profile] spiralstairs at least was back within a couple of days after disappearing from here, but never posts a lot, so that's logical.

I really enjoyed my lie in this morning, deliberately haven't done much today, just reading some newspapers and watched cycling on TV. Should be writing a lot, but there'll be a time for that someday soon. Unfortunately my community [livejournal.com profile] sillypoetry is not very active, but at least it is not as busy as [livejournal.com profile] badpoetry where several users seem to be clogging everything that springs to their mind. Soon the NBA season will start, another fantasy team I need to manage. The baseball season ended with a 2nd a 3rd and a last place ([livejournal.com profile] ljfbl in my roto leagues and a 4th place in HTH even though I was a mile ahead in the rankings when the season ended at the start of the play-offs. I should be listening a bit more to [livejournal.com profile] tbone, the ultimate fantasy expert. The CD's I bought recently, Manu Chao live and Meindert Talma, are great, I am listening to Manu at this very moment.

Life isn't too bad, tomorrow this time I will be heading for the airport, another day further (local time) I will be in the tropics. Any hurricanes heading for the northern Antilles? Goodbye dear friends, I'll read your entries tonight and tomorrow, will be back a week later. Take care of yourself!

Ultimate fantasy expert? Oh, you give me too much credit. I've had my share of last-place finishes, and I was with you in the basement until the final month. You know as well as I do that luck plays a big part in it.

It's good to see that you are doing well. Good luck with your continued travels.

Don't think I can complain, the 2nd en 3rd place were in winners league and if it wasn't for the play-0ffs I would have easily won my hth-league. Still, you beat me easily in the one league that matters here...

With rain? Steven de Jongh is in with a chance, I doubt one of the favorites will come through, too many countries do not want a sprint. I hope Jaja will give himself a goodbye present, but my money's on Bettini and Museeuw.

We are ok. In shock, but ok.

Thank you for caring!
