Photo's taken on one week holiday to Normandy and one of the channel islands.  This is Pointe du Hoc, part of the "Great Atlantic Wall"  Remnants of war all over the place.







This is one of the monuments in memory of the deceased allies june 6 1944: Omaha Beach in Normandy.



This is a picture taken on the American Cemetary.



Also visited Gerald Durrell's Zoo on the channel island Jersey. This is the red Lemur:



This is the gentle lemur:



This  is one of the Tamarins that is allowed to walk around freely in the zoo:



These two are the ever so sweet Meerkats:



I was lucky to be witness to an airshow as i was leaving the island. I caputered this magnificent and very impressive aeroplane on film, while a lovely lady explained to me that this was one of the planes that won the war.



This is Le Mont St. Michel. An abbey placed on a rock just outside the coast of Brittany in France. it used to be well protected by surrounding water.

Well, the world has gone mad. A dutch columnist Theo van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam two days ago by a muslim fundamentalist. Just for speaking his mind (rather rudely, but that's no reason for murder).

Bush has another 4 years to rule. People think he stands for freedom, but i fear there is none left by the time he is done.

I am not sure it is the world news that is saddening me or the fact that i spent too much time lying awake last night thinking about the past and the recent past.

Sunday i chatted online with my parents. The trip is off for me. They want me to take 4 weeks from work. Which is too long for me. I also want to go away in the summer for at least two weeks (scotland or lappland), so i told them we might meet somewhere in Australia (while they are on their trip), but my dad said it wasn't worth the trouble/money. It hurt. I don't care about the trip, i care about not being worth the trouble. I hate it. With my dad it is always his way or the highway.

He can sink in deep, deep shit, for all i care.

My crush is going to show me pictures of ireland (his brother took a holiday there only recently). After lunch i am to go to his room (in the hospital), because he tried to show them on my workputer, but my screen is too dark. I think it is cool that he wants me to see the pictures. I guess he knows me well enough to know i would love to see them. Sharing is good. :)

I am reasonably happy in this real life of mine. I can hardly find time to update my site, let alone post comments on other's.
Fencing is going better as we learn new moves, but still i think i am slow in my reactions. I need to accelerate electrical currents in my cerebral cells in order to outwit my opponent.
Work is going well. Money isn't. In November 2005 it won't be possible to elongate my contract for another two years. Either i get a steady contract or i am out. I am not sure how i feel about that.
One of the reasons i like working is the chance of running into the crush-collegue. I really hate he has a girlfriend because i think we would fit so nicely. So many things in common. But i understood he has an 'older' gf who has a little kid. Sad thing is that i still wish i understood falsely. He shares my love for deserted landscapes and animals. We now are on the friendly basis where we lend eachother CDs. Occasional email threads haven't turned me off yet. Well, it makes it more fun to go to work. I do hope we can be friends one day for i dare not be too bold or too personal to him, like i would be to other collegues (whom i feel nothing for).
My parents are planning a trip to Australia. And they have invited me over. I am still in doubt. They will be travelling the eastcoast by RV. And being trapped inside with the both of them is not too appealing for me. However, I don't know if i can let this opportunity pass me by.

Yesterday i had my second fencing lesson. I can't ever see me win one, but i have decided to stick with it, because it brings laughter. Besides it is cool to say that you fence. People tend to look up to it, like me, hehe. There are about 35 people in this class and they all are strangers. But in a way it makes it all easier.

Oh, and i still haven't lost interest in my collegue, it is so frustrating it is not mutual or at least doesn't seem to be the case. Back from holiday a week and in that week i only saw him twice. Don't know what to do about it, because i have no other candidates besides J. Depp.

Other news is that i will be attending an R.E.M. concert the 3rd of feb. My collegue is a huge fan. Already looking forward to it.

Sometimes life is smiling upon us, just enough so that we will endure everything else...
