Kathryn is away all week.

Monday I went to the Burger Bar that Sergey was raving about.  It was a good burger – better than Burger Zaken.

Tuesday was a miserable day weather-wise.  Didn’t leave the house.  Heard there may be a party interested in buying MCE.  We’ll see.

Wed got out to get some groceries.  Since the weather was nice, I decided to go for a longer walk to get some exercise and think about Saturday.  Stopped at Durty Nelly’s for some cider and kroquettes.  They have Somerby’s from Denmark – lekker!

Thurs the weather started getting even warmer…up into the 70’s.

Fri – hot day… in the 80’s.  Walked to the zoo at lunch time but did not stay long.  Showered late and went to the Grand Cafe de Jaren with the InterNations group.  Ended up a weird night.  Ben brought Kieke and Pedro, a friend from London, but none of them ended up going to the event.  Sergey got a booty call prior to the event, so I ended up there alone with Johanna.  We talked a lot, ended up getting home at 2 AM.

Sat I went to the airport to welcome Kathryn home.  We both napped in the afternoon and had Wagamama meenemen (take-away) for dinner.

Sun we went to brunch with the AMS Meetup group.  Met a few people – may have a new job connection in the coming weeks.  Afterwards we picked up Kathryn’s AMS bike, dropped off Kathryn’s road bike, and  decided to visit a new neighborhood.  Ended up at Sarphatipark then dinner at Cafe Ruis.  For dessert, we stopped at a well known bakery in the area and brought it home.
