We spent two evenings in a row with our best mates in the UK, Trevor and Jo and Mick and Sarah. We ALWAYS have a great time with them - and typically knock back quite a few lagers.
This visit we discovered the obsession with Eurovision 2008 ... a bizarre song contest the likes of which I've never seen. It is much like a car crash in that you can't help but look at it even though it is simply awful.
Check out the winner and others - I think Spain is pretty special:
I'm including a video I took myself of the TV screen of a bizarre moment in the show...
Anyway, the long and short of it is that we had, as usual, a delightful time with our friends. I don't have any new pics of their beautiful children (five in all) as they were all tucked into bed on both evenings. We didn't even *see* three Lock children, but I assure you that Trev's little ginger kids are as beautiful as ever.
Oh, by the way, the UK finished DEAD LAST in this competition...!

Great travelogue! Congratulations on getting your green card, (I guess it's the Dutch equivalent of that, right?)
I guess it would be similar - it does grant me residency for five years (a green card is ten). But yes, I can work here, too so must be the equivalent).
Thanks!
