Liberation day!

Liberation day! 

Today on this sunny Sunday we Dutch celebrate liberation day, we celebrated this event each year on May 5th, to mark the end of the occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II. There's a wide variety of entertainments and events taking place throughout Amsterdam and the Netherlands. One of the biggest events is the Concert on the Amstel, in Amsterdam, which begins at 9:00 pm. Taking place on a huge stage floating on the Amstel, with a backdrop of Royal Theater CarrĂ©, music fans of many persuasions can enjoy a symphonic concert that occasionally crosses over into pop music.I'm actually watching it now on TV, lol. The weather was once again gorgeous this Sunday, I mostly never go out on a Sunday, but today I went out for a little while. 
 
Just beside my house this lake, many fishers fish here, nice to watch them from a distance.


A nice little area in the middle of our centre, I like the trees.

I grabbed my bicycle and went for a short ride, the sun and the warmth made me decide to go outside. Further today I did the usual, one load of laundry, cooking dinner and prepair lunch for tomorrow's work. Yeah, work, I'm glad it's actually Monday again tomorrow. I missed work, though this week it will be a short week again. Upcoming Thursday we celebrate the ascension of Jesus, so, I will work only two days this week. Oh well, I will find something to do, though I have to save some money for the Summer holiday. I need a few Summer clothing aswell, long-sleeves and a few polo-shirts. I'm happy with my new shoes, glad I got that already. Best news I heard today was that Jan's recovering is going well. Jan is a friend who I will be visiting in June. She needs her rest, and I hope she gets her rest.
