============================================

Here are some pictures of walks through my hometown of Amsterdam:

One of my local supermarkets. On the spot where there used to be a branch of the Social Services. Before that you could register for a rental appartment here, centrally organised by the local government. Until they decided to leave it to 'the free market' and the waiting lists crossed the ten year mark and rent prices skyrocketed:
Also near my home is this canal. Where you can swim without fear of getting sick because they installed better filters and started cleaning them more often since the late eighties:
This is the view at night when you enter Amsterdam from the Central trainstation:
Weather and work permitting, I like a little stroll to the waterfront:
This is the previously mentioned canal at night and from the other side:
Here I was on my way to a restaurant where I met up with friends. Who know I was born in this area when there was still a hospital. Back in 1967. Parts of the old buildings still stand:
=======================
This week's piece of prose in one of the pieces I wrote - partially on stage, during a scene - when acting
in a musical past Summer and may be considered a bit dadaistic:

Nothing ( a #poem)

The figure in the corner
stroked his beard.

In itself not a strange gesture
if not for the fact
he wasn't wearing one.

Perhaps it was
a force of habit
or at least
a force to be reckoned with
and reckoning with it she did

waiting for the right time
to make her move
she listened to the lights
and waited for them
to shimmer and dim

until there was

nothing
