After having lunch, this time a salmon sandwich, a cappuccino and a strawberry shell, I walk back through town over the high street. I looked at most of the people, not openly, but more hidden. My hands folded like I was praying. I took some photos in the midst of everyone.
I feel good 🙂

I had my lunch at Donner this afternoon. I read the newspaper as usual. Two articles caught my eye: one about peace and deescalation, the other one about humans and nature and the different sorts of relation between them. Both i read carefully. I don;t have clear thought about these things. I did wonder though where the European countries would buy most of the war stuff. Yeah, of course. The United States. And Europe itself of course.
Today, Sunday March 9, i went out to have lunch at Donner, the bookshop in the centre. I had a Ceasar salad with bread and mayonnaise. I read the newspaper, the Trouw and the NRC. After that i took a latte machiato and a chocolate soes filled with whipped cream.
Walking home over the Lijnbaan i photographed the walking area with the people walking past. Enjoy!
