Time for an update. I'm still basically in bed but feeling quite well. The delicate balance of eating and drinking just a little bit to avoid stomach problems is still intact. I have not been outside since January, but am eagerly waiting and hoping for some nice sunny weather to lure me outside in the near future! I go up and down the stairs several times a day, which is quite necessary to get my lazy weak legs into action. And I have started to do some morning excersises, including some qigong. Should do more of that, since I know and feel it does me a lot of good! I still have a nurse coming every morning to help me with the basics of washing myself. They have little to do, but it's very nice to be pampered. They rub 'wild rose' scented oil on my dry skin, give me a foot bath after the washing, and then tug me in bed with a warm water bottle... Very comfortable! Immediately after that I start playing with my lap-top. Hoping for some nice messages to come in. I must say I have been so well cared for by all my friends, who keep sending me post, mail, flowers, presents... It has been an endless stream of attentions. Thank you all for this!!!!!!
Recently I have started to work a little bit on my 'business mail', and I have to arrange my tax papers. This is usually very dull work, but once done, it can give quite a bit of satisfaction. These kind of things have been neglected since I started to be ill in 2010... So just imagine the piles of paperwork awaiting my attention... Umph!
Should listen to music more. Some friends have been sending me nice links to their favourite music videos or comic shows. Very entertaining! Do go on doing this, please! I also have an account on weibo now (not on facebook yet, I can look into Frank's account when I want to, but it's a bit much!). On weibo (the Chinese equivalent of facebook) I only have 14 'friends', wich makes it a fairly quiet corner to linger. But it's very good for my Chinese! I like it a lot.
So bye for now dear friends, do drop me a line if you feel like it !

  1. Dear Antoinet,

    I also posted this on Frank's Facebook, but I think you are a great inspiration both in scholarschip and music as in life itself. Today the sun came out in Heiloo, I hope the weather was just as nice in Leiden. Would you appreciate it if I played some guzheng for you (in real life or through Skype)? Please let me know, I would be delighted to entertain you with some music ^^
    Wishing you all the best,
    Maaike
