Good morning.
Today I'm starting the new thread!! No one else around this morning to share some coffee (water) with?
I saw that Barbara made it to supreme yesterday, by posting lots of beautiful sunsets!

Now there is nothing to see at the cams, yet...

Hi Diana, GMTA, I opened a new thread at the same time than you. We can use it for the afternoon thread ?
Here what I posted.
"Hello everybody,
First, congrats Barb for beeing a "Supreme" now, and thanks for the beautiful sunset pics.
I am not feeling good this morning, so I phoned my Doctor and have to meet him at 1 PM. I fear I got a bronchitis, I had such a bad night caughing.
Anyone to share a coffee with me ? "
I am glad to have a coffee with you.

Hi Martine, I already wondered why there was no thread yet!
Sorry to hear about you're bronchitis! Hope it will be vanished, soon.
It was a really hot night here in Holland. In Paris too?

Thanks Diana. Yes it is quite hot here too, and they said this day would be the hottest of the week. Hard to bear as I have some fever. Can't wait till I see my Doc.

Good morning Diana & Martine!
Sorry 2 hear of your troubles Martine. I hope it won't botter u 2 much/long. Maybe u should go 2 the clean air of Bonaire?
Diana, I'm @ work 2day, so I'll have a glass of water

Congratulations Barbara & thx 4 the sunsets!

Good morning Igor.
Did you enjoyed the nice weather in the weekend?

Yes we did Diana. We went to the Efteling saturday afternoon and evening for on of their "Zomeravonden"! It was really nice.
I read your diving was good. Any news on the car-keys?
Ok I'm going 2 do some work now... flicky-work

Friday

Saturday

And Sunday

Real nice flicky's Igor.
No news yet about the car keys, but this evening I will hear the story...
Efteling, brings back memories!!

It's lunch-time over here, but in Bonaire the sun is rising.

On the other side...

Ooooooooohhhhh, pretty colors!

Beautiful morning! Good Morning everyone! I have a day off from work today! Stat holiday today so all the stores are closed (well most anyway). Everything is finished so all I have to do today is nothing! Martine, I hope you get better, it is awful having an illness in the heat.

I wish I was waking up to this.
It is quite foggy here at our place.

Morning Eileen, Igor,
Sorry, I am not a good talker today. I am just leaving to see my Doc, it seems I have to go crawling :o)

Hopefully the doctor will give you something to make you feel better.
I just had a coffee outside, it is so peaceful!

Good Morning everyone! I won't be talking much today. Have to try to get work caught up fropm being on vacation. I will try to look in every once in a while though. Keep posting those beautiful pics.

LaDonna

LaDonna, can't wait to hear about your trip! Sometimes you need a vacation after your vacation. I am off until the afternoon, see you all then!

One more before I go...

Hi gang, I am back from the Doc. Nothing serious, just a rhino virus due to serious ozone pollution. Doc said there is a lot by now. I have some medicine to take and in a couple of days I should be fine again. I think I am going to have a nice "siesta".
Let's talk with Jean Paul if it wouldn't be better for us to move to the country :o). The only positive point is I am contageous by sneezing and caughing, so I'll probably have the WHOLE BED for me tonight. Woohoo !
I count on you to post nice divers pics :o)

Morning LaDonna. Welcome to the has been vacationers club :o)
Hi, beautiful Barjack, Eileen. Let's go for my siesta now.

Satchmo tail


Hi LaDonna and Eileen.
Get well soon, Martine.

....wait.... come back.....



I just got in so I didn't see whether these folks actually stopped or not.

Oh and Good Morning everyone!

morning all! Eileen, have a nice day off! Martine, take two aspirin and call me in the morning...trust me, i'm not a doctor! Hope you feel better soon!

divers...

Hi Cynde.
Not again... Missed all the action.
Good thing is, with having work I can permit going on vacation!

Hi guys,

it has been a long hot weekend and just for the fun of it : it is going to be a long hot week.

Since the weatherpeople predicted monday to be tropical hot : I had the briljant idea ( and it had to be done) to go fix the sewer connection of our house.
So if you smell something, ... yep.

I would so much rather be here!!!

mmm, Jos, that's what I smelled

Parked car

Hello, there in the lower left corner

same truck as before... leaving?



Hey Jos - that's pretty ambitious taking on the sewer line on your own. Good Luck!

Diana, I surely hope not!!!
Or else I would have showered for the cat it's fiddle.
BTW , what's the carkeys thing?
sjossss

Michael ,
ambitious ? why?
Done that before , replaced bad parts , just needed some modifications and improvements.
Ok , you stink up the place real bad , but what's a bit BO , when its close to 100 degrees fahrenheit???
It's the lack of space below the house that bugs me.( hûhÛh , I 'm a BIG guy , you know!!)

Anyway , done that , been there , taking it easy at work , so .... bring out the divers.!!!

Jos, glad to hear you finished the smelly job!

The carkey thing, is a diver of our club left his carkey and locked it inside his car during a nightdive. The story is not yet ended, because I don't know the outcome. But I will find out this evening, when going for the monday-evening dive...
My workday is over....
Maybe I peek in after the dive, otherwise, see you tomorrow!!

Quick stop in, and look what I found

Eileen, Didn't go anywhere for vacation, just worked on the house. We were supposed to be painting the house, but not one drop of paint was applied! Instead we built some new stairs and bought a new boat! Had to spend time spiffing up the new toy! Now if this weekend will just be nice we can go play!

LaDonna

Jos - By ambitious, I was thinking in terms of trying to work on my own sewer line here at home. You see, it comes out of the house about 8 feet below ground. In other words, it takes a pretty massive pit to get to it to do any work. Your explanation seems pretty reasonable. My neighbor had to call a contractor in to work on hers and she ended up with an enormous trench from her house out to the street.

Jos, you are brave working on the sewer line in the hear. I hope you will be having a cooold beer every so often.

LaDonna, a boat! Sounds like a better plan than painting any day!

Igor, I think I for got to mention that your flicky pics look great!

Michael , No way !!

I was referring to the connections under the house , just open a hatchway behind the frontdoor and crawl in.
It's just 2 feet high so ,.....

Worse thing was that I forgot to lock the door and my mother in law fell in the hatch!!!
Severely hurt her shinbone and her bottom, and I do mean footsize black bruising!
Could have been a lot worse ofcourse, she's almost 70 years old , and people that age break their bones so easely.
loads of bad jokes were made yesterday at a family birthday party

and a fishy

Some from the archives.




I hope you are resting well Martine!

Eileen , , I know you don't do it on purpose but

No beer for me this week , ( I'm slowly starting to cry as I write this) I'm on some "extra strong" antibiotics this week . What was I thinking !!! temps are over 90 Fahrenheit !!!

Well , 5 days pills , just enough time in between weekends I guess.

sjosss

Jos
Glad to hear you mother-in-law didn't suffer anything too bad from her little fall. I started to imagine all the jokes about it then realized they were probably all in dutch, so I wouldn't understand it anyway.

I'm confused Jos??? Antibiotics and beer definately do not mix. Cold water then? I made a spelling mistake in the above post, it was supposed to say 'heat' not 'hear'.

more little fish
Sorry about your cold, Martine, I know how you're feeling, I am still sneezing too, found out (hear say) that there are obviously an extremely lot of mushroom pollen (?!) in the air due to the extreme circumstances, and I'm clearly having trouble with them. Usually I have only problems in early spring. I think I have to get me some tablets first, otherwise I won't sleep again this night.

nice surf

A little guy!

It is muggy outside right now. I am staying in for awhile.

Michael , you can think of any joke including the word "drop in" "welcome any time" "fallen ladies"
etc etc.
and it wasn't a little fall , the hatch it self is 1 meter deep ( over 3ft) , the rest is just 2 feet high.

eileen , yeah right , cold water , nope.
We have a lovely compromise , it looks like beer , it ( somehow) tastes like beer , but it has no alcohol in it. MAlt beer as they call it .So, I'll stick to that I guess.

Karin , mushroom sniffing for you I see?
you might end up like blikje : sitting on a gate post , staring the wrong way.

Hey everyone, this thread's starting to get a little long.... what do you say we jump over to the other one that got started this morning?

Eileen - if you think it's muggy there, have you looked at the temp/humidity on Bonaire lately... yuuuuuuuuck! Still, I would much rather be there than here.

Trail to next thread starts here.... Another Monday morning
