Dad, do you want to take an afternoon off with my birthday? “Yes, but why” Well. The weather is going to be nice, and Nellie would like to have a swim in the Biesbosch. And if you bring your camera. The plans were forged, kept an eye on the weather report and the groceries were done. Our daughter, her boyfriend, my wife and myself were going to take an afternoon off and were all looking forward to last Tuesday afternoon. The first time that could possibly be tapped the 20 degrees. Nellie. The dog of our daughter and her boyfriend is now several months old and it would be nice if it got used to the boat and the water a bit But last Monday, my wife didn't feel so well. Normally no problem, but now only a test done in the corona time. And you guessed it. Positive. Pcr tests just as positive, so my wife won't be able to join. :-( Tuesday morning I call my daughter and sing to her to congratulate. “So, how do we do it this afternoon” Well. Nellie is having diarrhea and she doesn't really eat either. I'll go to the vet right away and then we'll see if it can continue. We discuss a little over and over again and I decide to take time off anyway. So at least I'm going to sail. Too bad not to go with this weather. And I've been looking forward to it for too long. At 12 o'clock I just wave to my boss and get on my bike to congratulate my daughter. Once there, I see that Nellie is walking around again, so it is decided that they will come along. Then we'll just take it easy with Nellie. Because to sit inside all day while my birthday was her reason. A little minor because of the events, she got in the boat. We had sailed less than 100 meters and I got a party hat pressed into my hands. The moment when the mood changed. Even Nellie brightened it up. Adorned with party hat, we headed towards the Biesbosch, where we enjoyed the weather. Thanks to my wife, had a nice lunch and enjoyed the, happy, fit Nellie again. As can be seen in the pictures, the hair is doing well again. My wife is also going to work again tomorrow and my daughter is the joy herself again. :-)
