Dutch Doings

1. The whole time I was here I have been using fabric softener instead of detergent, so I am officially washing my clothes for the first time since I arrived.
2. My ultimate Frisbee team (No Nuts, No Glory) won a tournament last weekend. The tournament party theme was "be a character who died in a movie". I wore water wings, goggles, and strapped a shark to my back. A 17-year-old boy bought me a beer.
3. I need to buy some orange garb for Queen's Day because that is simply the way it is done.
4. My family arrives tomorrow despite the volcanic eruption on Iceland that has impeded air traffic for the last week. I am going to take Susan to drag bingo, and it will be epic.
5. I found Dutch Scrabble at a flea market for 3 euros. Needless to say I bought it.
6. I am going to miss being able to buy eggs with double yolks, cheese by the wedge, good (yet cheap) beer, Albert Heijn, and stroopwafels upon my return.
7. There is a park not too far from my place decorated by giant metal hazelnuts. I climbed upon them, and it was wonderful.
