In July and August Laura and I are on holiday in Italy and France. We rest for a week in a hotel at Lake Garda, and during the second week we travel through France in the direction of home. You'll soon find a story with pictures about this holiday here.

In May my boss informs me that my temporary contract with the Freudenthal Institute as of October will be replaced by a regular contract. I am very pleased. Since December 2008 I worked four days a week, but from October on that will be three days again. It is a busy time, because in September the Freudenthal Institute will move. You will find my FI-homepage (in Dutch) at FI Mark Uwland.

From Friday 14 until 21 May Laura and I have a holiday in Wissenkerke, in Zealand, a province in the South of the Netherlands. We walk, read and sleep a lot, as is usual on a holiday of ours. Here you'll find a story with pictures about this week.

I have an operation on my nose on Friday 19 February, to help me breathe in my sleep. My nose heals perfectly, but I am left with a throat full of ulcers and a lot of pain. Swallowing, talking and sleeping are particularly difficult. Only after about three weeks the pain starts to go away.
