Under Dutch Skies

It was only a 4 day work week, but man it felt like the longest week ever.  Friday after 5 I really needed a beer.  The sun was shining and the tables had been set out on the terrace in front of Vapiano, so the team met up for big glasses full.  It wasn’t exactly warm, but the sun felt good and the beer went down quickly.

When I got home, DB was sitting around the table with 5 friends, also drinking beer.  They were busy planning an event that will take place in Haarlem in June (more info later) so I grabbed some food and took myself, and my laptop, upstairs.  Ahhhh, some nights there’s nothing better than a comfy bed and videos on the laptop.  After watching the latest Grey’s Anatomy (yea torrent search success) I picked up my latest obsession  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.  I can’t remember the last time I read a book so quickly and voraciously.  I can’t put it down.  I read it on the train instead of knitting.  I’m a bit late to the party since nearly everyone I know has already read the entire Millennium series.  If you are looking for a thriller that is smart and entertaining, you need to get this book.  Get all three in the series.  There are also movies made of the books – the third one is just now out in theaters here in NL.  I watched the trailer for the first movie on Amazon and it looks really good.  I’ve got to track down where I can buy it here with English subtitles.

I hope you are having some sunshine on your Friday too.
