Thanks for the birthdaywishes (here and on other platforms) During my birthday I was on a holliday with my wife and the kids and it was very very good!  :cheers:

 

Offcourse I will start a new build soon but at the moment I am very busy finding a full time job.

 

The last 7 years I was unable to work because of serious healthproblems. But in the last few months something beautifull happened. At the moment I feel very very well. I have not felt so well in ten years.

I don't know if I all my problems are solved (and I still use some medication, see the doctors and I participate in therapy) but I really really want to find a job:dancetl6:

So now you know what's confiscating all of my precious buildingtime (and after finding the job I hope there will be some time left to build:rolleyes:)

Kees,

 

I'm really pleased that your health has improved and you are feeling good about life and work. Long may your improved health last. Job searches can be challenging but my experience is that if you keep at it something good always turns up. Smile a lot, enjoy your family and keep positive.

Keith

Hello Kees,

 

I just admired the pictures of your beam trawler KW 88. Really a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Also the night-views with full lighting are staggering. 

I really look forward to see your next project growing.

 

Prachtig werk, proficiat!
