I love the pictures you have up today,and I'm a real sucker for cute dogs. Cute men are good too. :)<BR/><BR/>Interesting thing about the Petersham episode: we had an English friend with us that day, and she was really anxious about crossing the Petersham lobby, unlike her two North American partners in crime. I realised that it was because it was a very posh place and my Canadian accent would not make me seem out of the place the way her North London speech might. A quick lesson in the politics of class.<BR/><BR/>-AMAnne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960236584908811801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1138846589254756592006-02-01T18:16:00.000-08:002006-02-01T18:16:00.000-08:00Dear KoosThanks for answering my queries.

Especially when they are involved with unusual hobbies.<BR/>(You're the only one I know who has an interest in Dutch barges...)<BR/><BR/>I figured you for being multilingual - just little things you say.<BR/>Myself, I am bilingual English/French. It is not very common for someone to speak more than one language where I live, so I consider myself an anomaly!<BR/><BR/>You have a great mastery of the English language yourself, & I'll wager it's not your mother tongue...<BR/><BR/>We live 2 blocks from the beach on a lake in the mountains. We have a little motorboat with an 85 hp Mercury outboard that we enjoy during the summer months.<BR/>And a canoe...<BR/>We fish, waterski & sometimes head down the lake for a cool drink at the pub. It's called the Lakeside & I'll bet you can guess where it's located!<BR/><BR/>Take care & hi to Val.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>DaleDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390048543612668055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1138837852894830702006-02-01T15:50:00.000-08:002006-02-01T15:50:00.000-08:00Hi DaleIt's worse: I live in the water.

My barge is my home, and is moored in the Oude Haven, same place where the helling is, so I can keep an eye on that.<BR/>The pics from the Thames come from two trips to London where we go now and then to see Val's dad.<BR/><BR/>The boat trip on the Thames was when we bought a ticket like any tourist, which felt like defeat; we'd rather use our own barge for that purpose, but having to cross the sea is just too much of a risk.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>KoosKoos Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07721221805692321011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1138835888612004372006-02-01T15:18:00.000-08:002006-02-01T15:18:00.000-08:00Hi Koos,Thank you for the kind and encouraging com...Hi Koos,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments on my blog! The job seems to be going well, although we'll be in training for 4 long weeks.<BR/><BR/>I love both the pictures - though, as usual, I gravitate to any animal right away, so I noticed the sweet looking dog first! Typical me. :)Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07069329320173103517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16946298.post-1138833432268348022006-02-01T14:37:00.000-08:002006-02-01T14:37:00.000-08:00Dear KoosThanks for the comment on my "art" post!I...Dear Koos<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment on my "art" post!<BR/><BR/>I love the photo of the "kooiker". He/she looks very intelligent.<BR/>Cute dog.<BR/><BR/>You must live right by the water. Do you keep your barge in the Netherlands?<BR/>I notice that you do a lot of boating up & down the Thames...<BR/><BR/>Coincidence...<BR/>I think that concept is one that could be held up in the air forever!<BR/><BR/>Regards to Val!<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>DaleDalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05390048543612668055noreply@blogger.com
