Toy gun

I've seen one of the newest Guy Ritch films today: Revolver. Heard some good and some bad stories about it. My conclusion? It's shit. Read the user comments on IMDB and you'll read enthousiasm as well as anger. I go for the latter. What a pretentious bullshit. But perhaps I did not understand it... Have you seen it? What is your opinion?

Fixed!

Remember this post? Well, the problem is solved. We had two more days of rain and the roof leaked no more. Hurrah for roof-fixers!

Kid's stuff

Today Romeo & I went for a little visit to the pet farm. He loves animals so we took a look at the big pig with it's youngsters, petted the goats (who of course thought they we're going to be fed) and visited the bunnies. Amazing how kids react to animals. He was so excited just by looking at them! Jumping up and down and crying out loud with joy. Fortunately we stayed dry in spite of the dark clouds over us. We shared an icecream afterwards to celebrate good times.

Water down the hole

Summer in Holland comes in showers these days. We hardly see any sun and rain poors down like in an East European winter. Not so long ago we bought a small hundred year old house in the centre of Alphen aan den Rijn. And last friday and yesterday water came into our house... The ceiling in Romeo's room was wet and brown and a lot of water had fallen on the new wooden floor. Bad luck. Thank god we could contact a very nice guy from a roof repair service who came early this morning to fix it. It turned out the drainpipe was jammed with dirt and that the pipe was not constructed properly. So during heavy rain the roof floods and water gets around the pipe, under the roof and into our house (more specific: Romeo's room, just above his bed). The fixer fixed it in a jiffy. Weather forecast for today: 90% rain, wet, dark, depressing. So let's hope the fix lasts!
