Dear friends,

The expected heart treatment happened on Wednesday. This was earlier than had been announced before. The slow lane was not quite as slow after all. Fortunately everthing went well at the Amsterdam Medical Centre. With two stents placed, I could return home the next day. As I did not feel altogether in my normal inspired mood, I still kept silent here on my galleries for some time, however, just as I had done the days before.

While I had been just too nervous to write about the forthcoming treatment on those days beforehand, now I had to overcome the post-treatment tiredness. It actually was stronger than I had expected. Still, here I am again three days later!

So let us look forward now. I may not yet be able to go out to take new shots, as cycling is forbidden for a few more days and strictly limited afterwards and even car-driving is out of order (there is an interesting difference: the Amsterdam heart guide wants you not to drive for just 5 days after my sort of treatment, the Hilversum guide, however, speaks of as much as four weeks!) Well, I shall refrain from adventures even though the foliage of the trees outside starts to look ever so tempting! At least for a week …

More digging in the archive shall be the answer once again. It will be good to be able to share beauty with you again, if only with some of my older shots for a certain time.

PS on Sunday morning: yesterday I hoped to be able to place this message on Redbubble too, but somehow or other I could not get through. Nor can I today alas.
