Parrots in a tree near the Amstel at sunset
Parrots in a tree near the Amstel at sunset. How many can you see?

Went in to Amsterdam this afternoon to help Phil navigate the (excellent) Dutch health care system while he was unable to speak due to a throat infection that turned out to be an abscess on his tonsils. Poor Phil! On the way back, I walked past a tree filled with screeching parrots. The light was dim, but I tried to catch some photos anyway.

Daily self-care checklist:

  • Sleep: poor. Tried to get to sleep early, and failed because of sinuses. Woke at 02:00 to pee. Woke at 04:30 with my head full of interesting but untimely ideas about checklists. Awakened at 08:30 by a joiner with a quote for a new window.
  • Walk: a wee bit of navigating Amsterdam between public transport stops
  • Bass: no
  • Photography: a tiny bit
  • Snacks: banana bread. Bought some chocotoffs on the way home. Haven’t eaten all of them (yet).
  • Meat: I didn’t fancy making dinner, so I just called for Chinese food on the way home. I had some chicken saté.
