Good morning!
Second day in a row for a lot of rain. We hadn't thunderstorms, Paris and départements around had them. No chably in glasses for this year for those interested, grape plants are done.

Second day in a row of no rain here. Ed was by last evening and brought my a few vegetable plants for the balcony. Looks like Spring is here. I used to grow grapes for wine back when I lived in a house with a garden. The arbor made a great place for a glass or two out of the direct sun. No grape arbor on a balcony though.

Well, those partypeople on the boats was probably Amsterdam, not my hometown and very much their soccerteam is very much everyone's biggest opponent. They lost tremendously this season, even had to fight to stay in the premier division. Very much disgrace and since they call themselves the sons of Gods, this whole nation was having fun with them.But surely next season they'll be the ones to beat again.
My hometown is Eindhoven, city of light, Philips, DAF and ASML. It's in the southern part of the Netherlands where food is good, people warm and lights are always on. Well, we tend to promote it that way.

Quite right I believe. I guess the canals were the clue. I understand the soccer culture but it's not really a Canadian sport. The popularity is massive and the World Cup coming to North America is a big deal. It's getting a lot of flack here due to the cost though. About 100 million per match is the breakdown. That's a lot of money to spend. There are, I think; 7 matches in this city alone.

Saw some of the party people on their boats on my local news. National holiday and a soccer victory, No wonder folk were dancing down the canals.
