I think the video speaks for itself. If you want to read more about it check the CNN, the BBC or the NOS. Most Dutch people have seen the images live either in Apeldoorn or on their TV.
There’s not much information on it at the moment, other than four people have died, five people are in critical condition and another dozen are injured. What I really appreciated, was that our Queen declared her condolences on national TV.
More later, as new things have been told.
Was it only two days ago I posted that my bid didn’t get accepted? Yesterday I contacted my real estate agent, telling him of my limit and that I wanted to bid in between my old bid and my limit. I knew it wasn’t a fair thing, that the other real estate agent probably wouldn’t accept that bid either. However, there was no response from my agent. So, today I called him and I decided to place another bid: my limit. It didn’t got accepted, however, they did a bid back, I did a bid back, which was right in between my old (limit) bid and the agents bid. Because I could accept the keys quickly, they accepted my bid. I now am the proud owner of this small 50m2 appartment. Well, actually, not yet technically, I might get problems financing. I keep telling myself that, so if it really happens I’m not that disappointed. And now we’ll be getting into the holiday part: Queens Day, Ascension etc.
Talking about Queens Day, the fair has started, but with it the rain as well. I wanted to go and visit the fair. However, with these recent events, I hardly can spent any money. Maybe the rain will stop later this evening, or else I’ll go tomorrow. After I’ve went shopping for a floor.
Thursday I placed a bid on a (small) appartment, which wasn’t accepted. It was way lower than what they asked for it. However, when buying the appartment, one has to change the kitchen and badroom area. I heard the bid wasn’t accepted last Friday at 5.30pm, so this weekend I’ve been thinking what to do. I’m thinking of placing a higher bid, but I’m not sure how much. I do have a limit, but I also really would like the have the appartment. Oh well, nothing can be done until tomorrow. I did go to watch badrooms and kitchens yesterday. That was fun. Not sure what I really want, there were some nice ones, but not that I really said I want it.
The school is packed, closed and awaiting May 6th when everything will be moved back to the other building. Last week has been a tiresome week, since I’ve made days till from 7.30am till 6pm. Whether it was teaching or packing, I’ve been busy. I’m glad to have a week of, with Queens Day and May 5th in between. Not sure what I’ll be doing on Queens Day, probably going down town the evening before and walk around the fair.
