! Today is sunny but stayed resting all morning. Not feeling much better. Went to drug store for cough reliever , tissues and Vicks. Have a cough like whooping cough, and ears are still ringing. No more trips for me!!!!! I can just see you riding a bike around here Kath. There are millions of them. Almost as many as people. Perhaps it will be quiter tomorrow. Next day we go to Bruges. People everywhere. Would like to see the frank house, but queues!!! Will try again for the van Gough museum for which we have tickets. This afternoon walked to Central station, turned right to the library which was closed, but managed to get a coffee. Then went to the 10th floor of the Hilton from where we got a wonderful view of water and City. Walked back to square via back blocks which has changed my feeling for the city. Tonight we are eating at a Dutch restaurant two doors away. This afternoon we paid 8 euro to see two ten minute digitally mastered videos by Meester Werk who so apparently famous for his work. It was Fire Woman and Tristan's Ascension. Took place in a dis used beautifully built church with magnificent windows and organ. The queen was married there in 2002 apparently, Bought a few small gifts from the shop. Naturally the girl with the pearl earring featured, and they have pussy cat cards!!! We have a view of one side of the church from Our bedroom window. Will put up some photos now. Made a mess of the last lot. The facade Central station is really beautiful, as is the palace which is now an upmarket shopping mall inside. Sampled great cheese. Will put up some photos now. Made a mess of the last lot.

They will mail it,to America. Re the iPad, have found it charges better if desk top is turned off, but having dropped it has slowed it down I am sure. It is so good to have your news. As I wend my way through crowds who walk every which way, I think of my back yard. Love marg
