Well, I'll be Amsterdam'd!*

Here we are in de Nederlandsh! Well, here is Emma at least, sitting on the shoulders of her Dutch uncle, Pete. In truth, he is neither Dutch, nor her uncle. But he could be either seeing as a) he is very tall, like the Dutch and b) er...he's just a great friend and might as well be an uncle too.

What we did:
- played by de canaalsh!
- drank de coffee in cafeesh!
- went to de Van Gogh museum! (Rembrandt and Caravaggio exhibition. Paintings fantastic, but a bit of a bun fight)
- ate baacon paancaakes and watched the raain go splish-splaash!

Pete and his sweet, kindly mother were unforgivably horrible to us all weekend, giving us nothing but dry breadcrusts to eat. Can't think why as a result, my jeans would'nt do up and we laughed most of the way home.

Now, about yesterday's test. You'll notice that to every question, the answer was 'yes', apart from question 7, where the answer was 'no'. Though she might have thought something like that, Emma didn't actually express it as such because she is only two. It was a trick question!
