Slowing down is okay, but not too much!

Goodafternoon everybody!

Well, it is just a few minutes after noon, hahaha, but I thought I better do my blogpost now, because later today there is some speedskating to see(and you know I love that) and I want to put some stewmeat on for this evenings dinner before that.
Our weather has been still windy and even stormy some days, quite some rain, today we see some sunshine every now and then, still strong wind, but the wind should slow donw coming week and that's already something good.

I did some planned jobs this week(not too much but okay, I DID something which is already quite a thing nowadays. Yes, really, I notice that I slow down in doing things, well, it is more the getting started. Once busy, it goes still not bad at all. Perhaps it is just getting more lazy, could also be a part of it LOL, and it could have to do partly with the weather. I always feel more energetic and willing to do something in summertime, even already springtime.

This week Heidi and I planned to have a "meeting"somewhere in town, to have a coffee, perhaps having something to eat during lunchtime, so we could have again a good chat together. But it didn;t take place, because Heidi called it off. She has an aunt, who is very ill(cancer) and not doing well. Her mother wanted to go to her (aunt is living in another town, not too far from here) and Heidi wanted to go with her and that was just at the day we should have met. Of course it was no problem, her visit to her aunt was more important so we will make another appointment perhaps next week.

At the moment every news and talking programme on tv has the issue of the corona virus. I can understand it, because it is a tricky one that is still spreading around. This last week we had the first coupe of infected people in Holland too. Still nobody should panic, but it is a nasty virus, and hopefully they will find quickly a cure for it. Till then we will just have to be careful and follow up advices from doctors and not believe all the nonsens that already is told about it and not believe the "so-called"advices.
One of the things that bothers me is that there are instantly some people who want to take advantage of it and use this virus to go along houses with some tricky story to get into houses just to steal some stuff or money or to get money from people as "donation" for e.g."research"or whatever they invent. So be careful of anybody coming at your door with some story!

Oh, last week Jan suddenly got a letter with an appointment at the hospital with the surgeon, this time for control of the bloodvessels. I wondered if this has to do with the operation of last year or just yearly control of other bloodvessels??
I think I will call Monday or Tuesday to ask whatfore this appointment is. He first has to do a kind of test or so and a week later Jan has an appointmet with the surgeon. Could have to do with that operation last year, but then the control is rather late. We'll see and hear next week.

Jan also started to put some seeds into a small greenhouse. One species already came to growth, and are doing well on the windowsill. It still is too early to already re-pot them, a bit too small, but may be in a week he can put some of them in separate small pots. They still have to stay inside to get taller and stronger, may be we can put them outside already in April(which is normally too soon, but with that strange weather we have it might be possible).
Soon we will have some tulips also flowering in the garden.
I will have to make some photos then, but I don;t know if my little photocamera works with windows 10! It already is a camera of some years ago and I don;t know if i can plug it in the USB just like that and if it will work with the laptop.
Is there anybody who would know that?????
Would appreciate your help!

Okay, time to do some cooking and then it can stay on the stove for some time, and I can watch a bit of the skating.
Wishing you all a lovely week and safe week too!
