I am glad you are keeping up the scientific research that is so essential to channelite well-being! Thanks for the reports Hebe - perhaps was it something religious you attended/indulged in/participated in this Sunday lol? Are the orange Hare Krishnas still going? Amyone can join in with them, or so...

Dogbreath posting and LastHamlet's trip still running! I feel spoilt.

Lovely pics StemsnSeeds. I have only been once in the fall and I resolved to go again at that time - your pics reminded me why. Oh well, maybe next year!

Hugely generous writing LH. I really enjoy these report-blogs. You can keep the yellow jersey forever.

Wonderful stuff robtfink. An impressive potted history of a culture which has become so admired. Very erudite too! I hope you get around to writing more (I didn't).

Shopping, mooching about, hanging in coffeeshops, changing plans, watching the world go by, eating, sleeping - warm, familiar stuff, and like Dickens said, it's the simple things that matter. You bring it all back - thanks!

Love your lenses, Foxie ..so British, too!

50 grams in a day! I think that might last me a year back home. You well deserve your name, Blueberry!

Excellent! You capture the intensity of the apple pies, and the van Goghs, and the cat, and ... I was right there with you ...or I wish I had been. Ta.

LastHamlet, you take the yellow jersey. Famous Hamlet would have been proud of you for overcoming your loss and going back in such style! If he's reading of the many things between heaven and earth in your philosophical reports, he might say - And blest are those Whose blood and judgement are so wel...

But which one is Dazzler, Peter Cook or cuddly Dudley?

That was a tremendous report - really took me back to my recent trip - where I discovered Haarlem too. Thank you OHG.

Amazing thread, LastHamlet - your reports and the replies above. I just wanted to wish you well, for all you have given us.

A two gram joint of Blueberry?? We had one Blueberry joint between us, and that had tobacco mixed in - and after only a few puffs we were well above the levels we are used to! Great report LH - thanks for sharing so much with us.

(An extract from a trip report which doesn't yet exist ) Last Thursday morning, our third day of our sixth visit, and a trip to Haarlem. Once again we are up late, too late for Hotel breakfast. A couple of j's of Blueberry to colour the daylight. We are not used to quality smoke - illegal low grade ...

Any coffeeshop would do for me this Monday night. Thank you for rubbing it in, Nogbin of the planet Nogbin!

For the offspring, and the red eyes; if, like me, you sometimes go rather pale, you could say you've been bitten by a vampire.

Michaelo - this is just to let you know that your reports were just delicious so cool, Kuil, even, - if only that rhymed - and made a lot more sense than the one about the red wheelbarrow. Next time I'm stoned and feel like writing poetry and stuff in a coffee shop or a brown bar I will think of you...

Enjoyed reading this excellent report!
Thanks for sharing it and taking us along with you, Mr Charlie.

btw GT, the chocolate shop you were directed to I think is in Staalstrat - runs from the Doelen Hotel/Kloveniersburgwal to Waterlooplein.

GT, thanks for this. It is of special interest to me as I am booked into the same hotel next month- I was going to skip the 20 euro breakfasts until I read your reports! I am very glad you are finding the time to write them - and the longer, the more detailed, the better!

"He then had a sneer on his face as if I were some kind of unworthy
scum. "

It's the moral condemnation here that is so greatly unjust - not 'being searched'.

Great report, great writing, great injustice that you were treated that way. I have been reading your reports for ... well literally years ... and when they reach their end I feel a bat's squeak of disappointment. Thank you.

Thanks for the reports Hebe - I agree with Blueberry - we need to told the name of this mystery weed! I thought it was Ajax v Arsenal :)

thanks once again for the great report - right up to your usual high standards despite the dog news. Just lost my own 16 year old labrador, so I know what you are going through. If the vet says she's OK, that's all you need. Keep 'em coming.
