I will never ever be pro Germany.
Ifever we have to play against them it's always a bit of a charged game. No idea if this is mutual but for many/most Dutch people it certainly is the case.


Netherlands will most probably defeat Germany if they meet. The Dutch team is way better..

Oh? I had no idea. Oftentimes the German team is very strong. I do remember the national joy when we beat them in the mid 80's.
As I said, playing Germany is always charged, always more than just a game.

Finished watching War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise.

I had forgotten what a lame ending it had. It's plausible alright but somehow comes prematurely, not enough transitioning from the worst to the solution.
To be honest, most of the emphasis was on the father's relationship with his 2 intolerable children, less so on what exactly the aliens were attempting to do.
In that sense quite disappointing.

Thinking... I had not counted on more thunder at night. I was just about to fall asleep. Not quite as bad as the earlier one -hope I never have to experience another one like that again! But it kept me awake for quite some time nonetheless.

Feeling... sleepy & content.
Done a lot of painting today and for now the stinking heat has gone, although it's still warm indoors.
But it's been a good day :)

Thinking... my poor cats! They don't know what to do with themselves with this stinking heat...

Feeling... hot! It's 29C but feeling temp is above 30C. It's tropically hot.

Indoors it's 27C which is cooler compared to outdoors :/

The extension is 33C so I'm keeping the door to it closed for now. Sun is going to be on its poorly insulated flat roof until it goes down.

The one thing that is great is wearing shorts & singlet again but this hot is too much to be pleasant!

Feeling... happy that I've finally made up my mind about what I'm going to paint!
I already made the sketch, put 2 layers of primer on the canvas so I can get on with it whenever I want :)
Prolly this afternoon.

Security
Another good movie, with Antonio Banderas


Nobody
Also a good movie.

I've seen all these movies before but they're good enough to watch again every now and then.
Especially when there's nothing new out that's good.

Survivor - 2015
Really good movie with Pierce Brosnan and Mila Jovovich and Dylan McDermott.

A foreign service officer teams up with her colleague in order to prove her innocence while also trying to simultaneously thwart a terrorist attack.

Black and Blue
Really good movie!

Witnessing her colleagues killing a drug dealer lands police officer Alicia West into trouble. Falsely accused of the crime, she now has to fight both the corrupt police and angry gangsters.

Thinking... nice weather, a good day to chill. Might start working on a new painting, but no hard work in the garden today!
My poor back needs a break :)

Hard to message someone who's deactivated.

Unless something has changed over the years the site says 'deactivated' when you log out.
Doesn't mean the person is gone and stays gone. Just logged out.

You posting click bait posts now?
What's with the survey?

As for me, I don't want to meet men here which I clearly state in my profile.
Since I'm Dutch I'm looking for a man & love on Dutch dating sites.

Feeling... content! Done a lot today.
Logged into my Vinted account and put a number of items up for sale.
Lots more to be uploaded but I need to take photos first.
And I did some work in the garden again with the strimmer.
