Rainy day in Hollandor Dolphins in the Rain

Because of a religious holiday, last thursday everyone was free. And because there was only one day in between the thursday and the weekend, most companies proclaimed that as a free day too. So Berry and me had a very long weekend.

A very long, rainfilled weekend.

Keevie & the Dolfinarium - again

This is the life! Behind the steering wheel of Keevie, window open, wind through my fur, sun in your face... cruisin around with a bit of music. Cookies at grabbing range... Cookie can learn to love this!

Dutch Alfabet - 3, or C is for Cookie

So what starts with the letter C?
Coegie, the nickname of Berry starts with a C.
And Centraal Station (Central Station), also starts with a C.
And chocolade (chocolat) and Cool and C-formulier (C-form, dunno what it is for thought).
And then there are Citroenen (lemons) and Cola.

Dutch Alfabet - 2

Starring the letter B.

Well, Berry starts with a B, and she is my best friend... so B is for Berry, that's good enough for me!

Although Berry is an old Dutch name for girls, it is common in the Netherlands to call a boy Berry too. Well... it has to be spelled with an A instead of an E, but it sounds like it... so Berry has a lot of explaining to do.

Sleepy Seals

Picture this, it is nice and warm outside, you can lay yourself down on the beach and you can do absolutely nothing, but stretching yourself, watch the people around you and just being plain lazy...

...and then now the picture that suits the picture in your head...

Sunny Dolfinarium

It was a lovely day to visit the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk today. Berry and me had a very very very busy week, so, it was nice to do something different today. Relaxing in the sun. Watching all the seamammels sunbathing on the beach. Playing in the water...

Me was glad me had some shade once in a while. Me was sweating!

Last game of the season

It had to be the best game ever... but it could not be true... FC Utrecht, my favorite soccerteam, is no longer playing for a place in European soccer. Me was sad, but very proud last wednesday evening, because the boys played so well! Me liked the way everybody did there utmost best to show what a great team we have.

To bad we lost.

Visiting Gaja-Fleur

Last saturday me visited Gaja-Fleur, the babygirl of Maureen, Berries best friend.
It was real fun. Gaja-Fleur was eating some mashed apples - which looked truly delicious - and after that me could sit with her in her chair. It was loads of fun. Until she started eating my eye... well who could blame her? Me googly eyes ARE delicious too... Berry had been playing with her later on in the afternoon. Driving her around in her walkingchair. It looked like fun too. But hey, Berry drives me around in het VW Beetle, so, me is not complaining! Well, it was a very fun afternoon, and the little Gaja-Fleur is really sweet! Me is going to visit more often and maybe, me is allowed to taste some of the mashed apple... mjam.

Dutch Alfabet - 1

Today, me starts with typical Dutch things. And because me lives on Sesame Street, me like to do so in ABC. Me starts with the letter A.

A is for Appeltaart (Apple pie)

The Dutch like appeltaart. It is the same as apple pie all over the world. But still, it is very Dutch. The best apple pie has a thick crust and a closed top, so you no can see the filling. Inside the dough there are all kinds of applepieces and raisins. Sometimes almonds or pecannuts. But that is not very old fashioned Dutch.

Proud

So, here is my new Cookie Report. Me have been a bit busy at Berries work. You no want to know how much me had to do! Call customers, write articles, judge the lay-out! Me was pooped!

And me had to look good too... Well, actually, Berry had to look good. Me always look spectaculair in me blue fur. But sometimes me like to play dressup, or just crawl away in Berries suit! Nice isn't it.

Cookie @ Work

Everyday, me go with Berry to her job. She is the chief editor of a professional magazine. She writes articles, helps with the website, makes sure everything is in its place when published.

It is fun. Me sits on the ground most of times, reading magazines and stuff. Sometimes me eat cookies or crackers. And when me is a good monster... me can sit in her chair and pretend to be the chief editor.
