I have hardly been outside for four days now, since the days are so busy with meetings and dinners. As usual in Holland, it has also been raining part of the time. But on Tuesday I managed to get out for a while during lunch. It is a bit warmer here than at home and no snow, so you can at least get a notion of spring approaching.

My new camera bag that I got for myself at Schiphol Airport when arriving in Holland. G convinced me that I shouldn't carry a €500 camera unprotected in my handbag =) I also managed to buy myself a jacket that turned out to be more expensive than I calculated for but really nice. I'm not a great shopper so I was quite surprised. Perhaps the trick is to go shopping before 9 am, except for the calculating part that is...
