Since yesterday the Fifa World cup started in Germany. Being The Netherlands number one sports this is a huge event here. Every street has orange items like flags and stuff. Let us hope that our dutch team under leadership of our soccer pride of the past .

How far we are coming in the tournament, but for the following month there is quite some excitement on the television. :-)

Today is May 5th. The day we dutch celebrate our liberation from germans. Now 61 years ago. It is a bank holiday, atleast when you work for the government like I do :-) I just got back from a nice bike tour with my friends (yes I drive a motorcycle) and now I am sitting on my balcony with a nice beer, enjoying the view and writing this blogpost. Why? because it is around 25 degrees Celsius (77F for the lazy bastards). Which is rare even in summer

*sips his beer*

Yup, life is good.

My favourite soccer team FC Groningen made it to European league! An huge accomplishement for a not so known dutch soccer team. They have not been in that league for about 25 years. I am happy, now let us hope they even win some games over there. :-)
