Unsurprising they haven't got a new tenant. We have gone back and offered to pay if they drop the rent or we will accept a slightly higher rent and they can get their money back over time. Just waiting to hear back but not holding breath.

Interesting.

In my experience, having worked with some Dutch folks in the Middle East. they do tend to drive a hard bargain.... They used to give the Arabs a lesson in bartering!!

Stick to your guns mate...do they know you're Scottish? This could be like two glaciers coming together!!

Peace

Yeah, someone flew the plane into the mountain on this one and are now refusing to accept they fucked up

looks like for the first few months we will be renting a challet next to a lake a few miles south of Nijmegen. little beach and everything. should be sweet. and a rather good pancake place just round the corner

The life of the dude, it sounds like, mang.

.....those are good pancakes, Walter.

Well dudes, down to the wire now. Getting things packed for the move on Friday. Just taking the essentials now and will follow up with everything else once the house here is sold. Adhering to a strict diet of oat sodas and js to keep limber.

Well dudes, first post from holland and it is frikin hot. Due to be 37 tomorrow. Will take the mini me's to the beach I think then just drive around with the air con full blast when it gets too hot.

Cheers everybody

Far out, dude. Sounds like the dude life is shaping up!

as promised, an update.
Good news - the weed pass (weitpas in freeky deeky dutch) has not reached nijmegen yet joy so I have finally paid a visit to one of the many coffeeshops in this fine city and replenished my stocks. bit more expensive than the home grown i have been use to buying in the uk but when you can just walk into somewhere and get it and not be arrested when you walk out, its worth it. you can legally (sic) grow your own here but i cant be arsed with that.

our home in the UK looks like its sold after being on the market for just 3 weeks. either we have a very nice house or we are being screwed by the bloody home report valuation. i think a little from column a and a lot from column b!

if the good lady can just get a job now, we can buy something here and settle in properly.

Years ago I grew some in my basement with a big ole 1000 watt metal halide grow light.
I did not picture myself as having a green thumb.
But honestly it is addictive. I just loved checking on "my ladies" each day and watching them grow big sticky nugs.
Now I live a more responsible life and don't smoke or grow.
I get piss tested too often as a Consultant. When you change jobs often it's a fact of life.
A lot of places require it now adays along with a background check.
Maybe someday the paraquats in washinton will actually pull the giant stick out of their asses and just get over it and legalize it.

I envy you  over there.
Must be nice.

yeah dude, i use to grow my own then the kids came along and i was banned from growing any more by my special lady.
it is very addictive to grow your own plants, as you say, you can get obsessed watching them grow day by day.
i use to grow mine in a mini greenhouse in a cupboard wired with multi low power lights and wrapped in tinfoil with fan and lights on timers.
a friend of mine still grows and uses an old PC tower case fitted out with hydroponics. its a pretty cool little system and he gets a good yield, considering.

I had lots of room for them to stretch out. A separate room in the basement under padlock no windows.
I had a homemade box for clones and such which grow fine under 24 hour flourescent lights.
The main was 12 and 12 under a big 1000 watt grow lamp. Man they used to grow like inches per day.
I used to get cola's as big as my forearm.
Sticky white crystals. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Damn I wish I could still grow weed!
