When we arrived home we noticed a new sign in front of our house: Our street has been declared a no-alcohol zone. Nothing to do with Ramadan though - just a council measure to reduce to nuisance of some heavy drinkers at the canal :-) I am still not sure what this means for Eddie in our own house...
On our way back from Sweden we decided to stay the night in Hamburg and to visit the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe. It was good to be back in hamburg after 20 or so many years and to see that the city is completely renovated and updated for the better. We had an excellent (German) dinner and will be back soon to discover Hamburg some more.

Många brukar har liten glasmuseet. Där är översikten från vackraste objekt.
Det finns många glasbrukar i södra Sverige (Småland). Orrefors, Kosta Boda, Johanfors och målerås till exempel. Totalt besökte vi 14 brukar - alla med skorsten och outlet butik...
Godfried Bomans was one of Hollands' most loved writers after the second world war. He was the first to appear on television - with much acclaim. He was born in Haarlem and for more then 40 years was friends with Harry Prenen (here right above on the painting) who was an artist but first of all: my History teacher!
The Frans Hals Museum had a nice small exhibition about Bomans and his scene and showed how versatile he really was: writer / performer / presenter / composer / poet / comic and he even created a English language course.
