With the husband out and about tonight, I have some time to update my blog! First, to answer Gerwin, "yes, this will definitely involve a new city". I mean, the main reason why I want to change jobs is because I would like to live somewhere where the weather is at least bareable for more than 2 months per year (today, for example: 18° and rain: it's August...).

Anyway, during the past weekend, the weather was actually quite enjoyable, which was great because Andrea, Nynke and Ryanne came over from the Netherlands. We managed to spend some time on the beach (one of the many city beaches) and enjoyed the city's sights...

This was also Pieter's last weekend: he had to go back to the Netherlands, so we won't be taking any more fun weekend trips with him and Nicole for a while... At least Nicole is still here, so we can enjoy her company occassionally!

Anyway, for the rest there is fairly little to say. Thursday, my brother Lars and his wife are arriving for the weekend. I am totally looking forward to it, because it is going to be Berlin Beerfest and it is gonna be a lot of fun! Also, I am hoping my brother is going to be able to cure my laptop of some of its ills an viruses and so on.

By the way, I ran into this videothis video recently. It is a beautiful video of a slow-motion lightning strike! Watch it and be amazed!

Tschüßi,
OJ

I doubt whether you're interested, but an add ran this week on a university seeking a researcher (assi.prof., I believe) in your area (peace, love, and all). Unfortunately, I forgot all the details, but should you be interested, it shouldn't be so problematic to find it (try academic transfer website)
