just to update again, a bit

as you maybe heared, the hostel is now closed for renovations.
most of the staff left around the same time, some of the stayed for thanksgiving and left after that.
first (after closing the hostel) the staff and other workers, cleaned out the whole hostel for two days.
in the evenings we ate together at the willemsstraat.
for me this was a special time.
it reminded me about the renovation we had in '99.
The week after we had thanksgiving.
the lst weeks i've been doing some small fixing jobs at the hostel, while the construction workers redid the hostel upstairs and in the kitchen
(for pictures check my picasa web album)
besides that I've picked up my custiodiun job at crossroads again.
( i think this is my fifth time, i've picked up that job)
i still really like that job, and deep inside never left it.

my gardening job is still running ,but on low fire for a moment.
so far i was able to fill up my time at the hostel( what i prefer).
ian luyk( the former nightman at the jordan)and i are sharing now schinkelstraat 23a with antony northcutt( some of you might know him from last year), a former cleaner, and now friend. both of them are a good encouragement to me
antony stays in my room and ian has his room( formerly belonging to maarten, pauline and after then jaco van loenen)
first jaco moved out, and i was left with the whole place to my self.
(kind liked that idea). so i moved half of my mess in to the other room, so we where able to have a whole room for breakfast on saterday, and visitors to come over for dinner.
sounds good hey.
next thing i know is that ian moves in( i've invited him for months) and antony comes 2 days later.
now my idea was that i would have some time of to sort this all out, but things in the hostel didn't allow me to sort things out.
the funny situation happened, that my stuff filled up two rooms.
ians stuff filled up the walkways in the house, and antony's stuff was on top of that.
besides that we had breakfast on Saturday, i worked the weekends at crossroads, and weekdays at the shelter. so we had a mess at the schinkelstraat.
( not a new thing)
so on day ian and antony convinced me to at least clean up this mess before a new saturday breakfast.
so that Friday ian and i got started, for one hour.
that both of us desited," we NEED to go to ikea ( for dinner).
so thats what we did, we got some more junk, had a good ikea meal, went home and cleaned till one in the morning.
we love the baidgelers life

an other new love in my life is.....................
facebook.
i love it, and even check it.
you'll find me there, check it out

for the rest no winter sport for me this year, I'm trying to get out of debt ( with the help of some good friends of mine).
then still setting up the company, to support myself in missions, and keeping my self out of trouble financially .

life is good, really

no pictures here this time, just check the picasa link

talk to you later

time 4 a new update

when i look back, to see what to write about, then it looks to me that not a whole lot has changed in my life.
still nightman at the shelter (of course) one week on one week off.
the other week i'm still doing gardens ( exept today, it rains a bit)
probably going back as a custodian at crossroads pretty soon.

for the last couple of months i did some weekend shifts at the shelter during the day, what i liked very much.
it was good to be at the hostel during the day, to see what happens then.
i helped out in the kitchen to prepare the food, or behind the reception
( people helpd me, training me).
things i never do during the night.

jaco ( the kitchen manager at the shelter jordan) has left the schinkelstraat, so for now i have the place for myself.
some good friends of mine gave me a dinning table, that i'm really happy with.
so i use that second room for my visitors and the saterday breakfast/ brunch.


my turtles came back into he house, they where freezing outside ( in this dutch summer)
i think they are much happier now

my garden is one big mess.
The rabbit and guinnee pig are dead, and the plants need replanting.
i'm happy with the house inside.
when i got the house, i prayed that it would always be available for God to use it forHis purpose.
Well, for the last while my part of the house was not available( sorry jaco).
now it's ready again, and would like to keep it that way.
(a bit more space helped to organise it)

okay i'm on my way to a garden to maintain, hope to see you soon

it's a good thing i saved a copy of my password and login name somewhere, so i can create new postings here.
happy new year and all.
two months of just my old shelter schedule is great
one week i work as a nightman, the other week i'm doing my own stuff.
visiting friend, working as a gardener in my own company or cleaning up my house.
in that order.
i think it's time 4 me to leave Heineken.
so many things that where important to me, i had to put aside because i had to work weird hours.
it was a good time to work at heineken, but a bit to much( heineken hi hi).
maybe i can work at ikea( if you can pray for that).

for the oldies that know guido (clinton), he has a new adres
he lives already for almost a year in this kind of nursing home, just around the corner from where i live
here is his new adress

guido clinton
mentum kliniek suriname plein
suriname plein 35
1058 GM
amsterdam

it would be great if some of you that know him, would sent him a card or so

i'm going to switserland on a snow trip again, this time i'm on the prep. team

last december we had to go there to check things out for one week.
now we go back in the last week of february with about 55 to 60 people.



i'm doing house keeping and hikking
( haralds hikking and housekeeping holiday )

the saterday breakfast is still going great.
i'm really thankfull for that, it gives us a great time to just connect on a different level
every now and then people stay for the whole day to go and do something together or just to watch a movie, or come back for dinner.

thats what is going on in my life these days, so i thought to let you know
