Solo’s contentment, not mine. This is the end of week 3 of the kitchen work. No builders today. They’ll be back on Monday to tile the floor.
20221021 Contentment
20221018 Leaving an impression
The builders only took a couple of hours to cover the under-floor heating pipes with concrete. Solo only took a moment to escape from the bedroom and race downstairs to make his mark. Fortunately he only took a couple of leaps before jumping off, perhaps surprised at the texture of the surface.
The concrete firmed up during the course of the day, and eventually it was solid enough that we felt we could let the boys out without them doing more damage to it.
Not too worried about the paw print. It’ll be covered by tiles soon enough, though as Abi says, we’ll always know it’s there.
20221006 Not coming out
The builders made a lot of noise today. Rocky spent most of the day under the bed. It’s his safe place.
Fiona is coming back this evening! It’s her first mid-term break away from home, and she’s going to be back for two weeks. I’ll be picking her up from Schiphol later.
20221004 Incoming
Having discovered that all the upcoming gigs for De Staat are sold out, yesterday evening I had a look at the agenda for Son Mieux, another Dutch band I’ve been enjoying lately. Turns out all of their gigs in NL are sold out for the rest of the year as well, but they’re playing 013 in Tilburg in April 2023, so I’ve snagged a ticket for that date.
I’ve also got tickets to see Maggie Rogers in Melkweg in November, and Meute in Paradiso in December. Circumstances permitting, of course.
20221003 Do not open! Personal goods
Not every photo in Pictober will be fancy.
In 2018 I was on leave, and I had time to get out each day. This year there are likely to be a lot more shots from in or around the house.

They sleep a lot.
