a quiet day. I woke and felt like running. taking Fred’s advice, I ran down to the Amstel river, which I followed into Oudekerk, a cute village on the water not far from Amstelveen.
I called mum when I returned. we chatted about Christmas and her new waffle machine. Fieke said hi and got to meet the new cat.
we made pancakes for brunch, after which I made my way into the city to search for a thank you gift for Fred and Sietske. the lanes were crowded but I managed okay. Amsterdam is still very pretty to me, and I could see myself spending a lot more time here.
Fred made us his famous pea soup for dinner, which we enjoyed with rye bread and cheese from Vlieland. Fieke and I spent the evening laughing and being quite silly (I’ll blame our viewing of ‘The Muppets’ for this). a really lovely way to end the day - i don’t want to leave.
