Stop, before it starts to become a job.. in My new life, a book

Just came inside from the garden. I need a rest. I thought of a title for a new entry and that is IT. I realise, in the past it was stop, just before you drop.... yeah!

I am such a person, enjoying a hobby or whatever and overdo. That's the wrong way, I know. It is the journey that counts, not getting to the end, I keep telling myself. Aah, it's not easy to change a life time habit. But you never know given time and especially a body that isn't always cooperating. ;-) ;-)

I feel good, don't get me wrong. In fact, I do better than ever doing trips and leaving the house for severall days. Two weeks ago we went to the eastern part of the country to see our son, who is very busy. Last week I took the train to Belgium to see friends. The luxery: they brought me back home. Though in the busiest traffic jam ever. Fortunately for them the return journey only took an hour in stead of the two and a half earlier. Later this week we'll drive to Utrecht to Michael, our son. He is very eager to show us his new home. His girl friend became a ex. Yet things improved since he left and they contact each other on a regalar base. They might become friends...

It isn't easy to find affordable housing in Utrecht. The city with its central spot in the country, on a cross road of rail- water- and high ways is a huge business center also with lots of students from everywhere.

Son found a very small old house (1925) with two bedrooms, each the size to get a bed in and nothing more. But, it has a garden and no high buildings nearby to keep the sun out of it. Actually, there is a public park behind his 'property' (he rents the house) I am so looking forward to see what he has accomplished so far. After painting, flooring and bying second hand furniture.

There's no time to spell check. Tom likes me to accompany him to the boat to put on the fourth layer of varnish to the rudder. Bye all and have a lovely Easter.
