Back again from Remembrance Week 2026





We left early in the morning.
Again with that strange feeling that I am leaving the place I want to be forever.

The streets were still silent, except for the birds singing and having fun.
London was not awake yet.

At St.Pancras it was busy as ever, with some people sleeping on the benches.

My daughter played the director again, ordering me several times to sit down, whereas I already heard they were OK with people who needed assistence to check in.
*** sigh***, but she meant well.

They man who assisted was so very kind...



In the Eurostar people around me were either sleeping or nodding off.

Things went fast and smooth until we stopped.
The train before us was broken!

After about half on our we moved on.

Then the train stopped again: swan on the rails.

So we arrived 45 minutes late in Rotterdam.

No assistance to be seen.
We were lucky to be quite near the lift, and we were meeting a friend downstairs.




The rest of the way home was eventless.
We nodded off regularly.

The closer we came to our city the more fog.
It was quite funny when the other daughter send us a photo from one of our bridges in the fog: "Try and find the city!"

There were so many coloured trees, so many leaves on the ground, that it felt we left in late summer and came home in late autumn.

At the main station son2 was waiting.
I commented on his beard and moustache: "Movember".



At home my daugher got her laundry out of the suitcase and went to sleep.
So I had some time for myself... until son4 wanted to tell he rejected a proposed nw living space. Too noisy, too small, the stairs outside. I don't understand why they offered him the opportunity, because they know whe needs a seperate bedroom.

Before I even got my dirty laundry out of my suitcase there were already 3 cases ready to take action upon.
Sorry, not today.

I needed to prepare the lesson for tomorrow.

And, in fact, I also need to take a step back... no nuthouse like it was before I went to London!!

And I got a personalised invitation for a symposium.... good.
I really feel I want to be acknowledged for my knowledge...
About time.



So all in all it's time for bed now, and busy life resumes.

But certain things will be different.

I will catch up about the past days tomorrow when I am back from university.
Lots to tell...

Good night!
