Dec 06, 2019: Groningen

St Nicolas has come and gone. Today is the first day rain since I have been here. On Monday I am going to Nijmegen for 2 days, visiting friends.

Nijmegen is in the East of Holland, close to Germany. I lived there from the age of 18-28.

There is a Nature reserve close by "The Ooy.

The Ooy, in 1998. All the sheep are dead now..

I took the train from The Hague to Groningen on Monday. Still jetlag: waking up at 01.30 and stating up to 03.30 and then I slept again until 08.45.
Yesterday I went running, 3 miles, averaging 09.40 per mile. Slower than last year...

I am in Groningen until Dec 28, when I fly to Athens.

Nov 22, 2019: Flagstaff-Phoenix-Heathrow-Schiphol-The Hague

After 2 days of rain and, at night, snow, blue skies with white topped green leaved trees when I left Flagstaff this morning.
I took the shuttle from to Phoenix at 09.20, arriving at Phoenix airport at 12.30.
I waited until 17.00 when I could check in. British Airways from Phoenix to Heathrow and another flight from there to Schiphol in Holland. 3 hours to get through security at Heathrow, that should be enough...
I am taking the train from Schiphol to The Hague Central whenre my brother will pick me up.

Winter is coming....but not yet.
Freezing early morning, around 18 degrees in the afternoon. When I am home in the morning I sit and read in my easy chair until the trailer is warm enough.

I adjusted my "intermittent diet". Eat everything (less carbs) from 11.00-19.00. So a period of 8 hours in which I eat and 16 hours in which I don't.

After 1 month of sunshine, rain this morning. It is dry now, but still a lot of clouds.
Counting of the days when I am flying to Holland....
