Went out earlier with the intention of getting a few things fixed, but didn't manage to get any of them done. Still to do
Put air in the tires
Get the gas & heating working
Get covers for the windows
Hospital experience today was a reminder of why I love Amsterdam. It was a 5 minute drive, everyone we dealt with was competent, thorough, and good at communicating - it's remarkable how consistent this is across the Dutch population. The queue in front of us was 3 people, maybe a 20 minute wait, less for the second appointment. Just an all-round painless experience.
Streams this week
24 Tax return: Ieke responded about the updated return with the overseas holding companies included. Return now submitted
24 Irish Returns: Got docs signed & Emma submitted both Fuse & Tonic returns to CRO.
Monday: Got response on our offer for Prinsengracht & it was a rejection. Super bummed out. Called them - they chose another family because of both offer amount and their profile. Learning: next time bid higher & include a letter.
Tuesday: Viewed place beside Volkshotel - lovely with high ceilings but not enough rooms. Told the agent we were looking and he said he'd send on another place near Vondelpark that's not on market yet & is much bigger
