Will look forward to your call. Out this afternoon visiting my Mum - she is fading fast now. Hope I live to 98 :A

Will be in after 5pm, but in all day tomorrow.

Billie - Tell your son to go to Amsterdam for April 30th. Its the Dutch Queen's official birthday, also a public holiday and a total riot all over Holland. Amsterdam will be heaving. A Total Orange feast. I am going over for SIL's birthday on 28th March.

Off now, places to go, things to do.

WHAT places? WHAT things?

I will be ringing you to find out where to go in Amsterdam.

Red light district, and the odd sex shop

A "naughty cafe" even if it's just for a look

The Anne Frank Museum

If you go at the right time of the year, then the Tulip Fields

Hire a bike and have a ride about if you can

Walk along side the canals, maybe have a little trip along one

Edam, Antwerp and The Hague are worth a look if you are there long enough

Go on the Amsterdam Tour bus, it's £10, but well worth it

If you like art, then the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh are good

Or.. have a look at this link for a sensible plan: http://www.timeout.com/amsterdam/features/7/20-great-things-to-do-in-amsterdam

Butti - Great idea to use Mike for your project

Van gogh - I loved seeing one of the sunflower paintings in real life
Anne Frank - really weird to actually see where they lived

Amsterdam is beautiful, sit and watch the world go by. I'm still waiting for return flight to come up for Praha or we aren't going!!

Maty hope your doing ok? Very far in advance but ill be in 15-17 April for my yearly work exams if you fancy coming over?

:rotfl:Hi Mike

All mind blowing boring places - my mother's retirement home:A

People to see, one my mother, the others are medical staff who are keeping her comfortable. The papers are full of bad reports about the care of old people but my mother is soooooo sooooo lucky. She is well loved and well looked after. They spoon feed her, put her favourite chocs in her mouth, pour sherry down too if she fancies it (which she does!!):rotfl:Lovely place.

Told you it was boring - my Sunday adventures!!:D
