The day before

 One more night's sleep and then,. . . . . . . . . the terraces may be reopened.  COVID has been overcome? Not yet, the care is filling, planned operations are canceled, but the terraces are allowed to open.  Well, open, from 12:00 to 18:00 and then also one day after King's Day, a public holiday in the Netherlands. Not everyone has been vaccinated yet, the I.C.'s are getting full, but the terraces are opening.  Probably has nothing at all to do with the government being discredited again.

With your eyes open, the sun at your back, the falling water below you, you move again and from a different point of view not only changes your view but so much more.  There is time enough to stay a little longer, COVID forces me to stay here, but with this warm weather it is not that bad. It is a pity that the sun shines so little here in this flat country. Even the water is flat here, unless it falls.  Then it loses the flatness that is so characteristic here, turns into effervescent matter and when the sun shines it also shimmers, too bad the sun shines so little here, but I had already said that. Stay healthy and optimistic, we all need t
