Its summer!

today summer officially started! here in boston its warm, since a little while. unfortunately, at work they put the airconditioning on high, so inside im cold, most of the times, and need warmer clothes than during winter. aarghhh! 
the picture above i took almost exactly 2 years ago, in the netherlands. those boys were enjoying the water, by jumping into it over and over again. it is around utrecht, where i lived. this part is sooo beautiful! i think that winter it was so cold that even this lake got frozen. it was fun to walk on it, while just months before we were swimming in it....
today was also the longest day... :( buuuh, already from today on, the days will get shorter again. and they are already shorter here than in the netherlands! here it starts to get dark around 8.45 now....

Flat tire

yesterday no post; i was exhausted once again...
tim picked my up from work at 8 by car; in that way i would be home a little earlier. and i was so hungry! but... halfway home i heard this weird noise. we stopped right at a bus stop, and when opening the door there was this enormously loud hissing noise. surely that was the airconditioning of the building and luckily not from the car.... until we found it it was actually the tire that was flat in no time.... buuuhhh. a large piece of metal still stuck in it, shitty roads!!
of course i had no clue what to do. but tim did and he exchanged the enormous flat tire for the enormous spare tire. by then it was so late that we had "dinner" at applebee's. the good thing about being so late; the appetizers were only half the price.....
