Claudia's Ferrari

On our way with Em to the half-term Optimist training camp.
Kwark safely strapped onto the roofrack of our new 1996 Golf Estate. Rolling Stones 'Voodoo Lounge' edition (as if that makes it cooler :)

Army bathroom

The 2K primer for thebathroom said yellow/green on the tin, and was to be a good undercoat colour for the orange top coat.
Mixed, it's the colour of an armoured car. Actually quite nice, though a bit strange for a bathroom.
Hope we don't get problems with the orange.

199.998 to go. #in

This morning I hung doors and drawer fronts to finish a second Laser sailor's kitchen.
with sail numbers in the 200-thousands this might be an avenue worth pursuing.

Won't forget Steve Jobs

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

A grand day out

We couldn't have asked for better weather for the door job on the 'Nicolaas Mulerius' in the Zuiderhaven in Groningen. Jeroen fires up the angle grinder and we're up and running.

Good news first

The good news is that the doors fit the frame just right and close quietly against the rubber strips.

The bad news is that the previously trusty Asser Glas en Verf have let me down (twice) on the delivery of the glass. I'll now fit the doors on Thursday but have to go back in the weekend to put the glass in.

And who pays for that? Piggy-in-the-middle.
