Kreidler toen en Kreidler nu, maar geef mij maar een Puch!
11 maart
Zusje Astrid berichtte onlangs trots, dat ze twee Kreidlers had gekocht. Leuk om te zien dat de fabrikant mee is gegaan met de doelgroep van vroeger!
Want zo zag mijn Kreidler met motor kenteken er uit toen ik 18 jaar oud was (foto links onder)
Deze Kreidler beschouw ik als een jeugdzonde, want eigenlijk reed ik Puch. Zie bijgaande tekening van mijn Puch, getekend door Bob de Kruyff.

Well it's been a long time coming but I finally proposed to Yuko Osaki! After much deliberation (and sweating on my end) she replied with "yoroshiku onegai shimasu" which translates to "please take good care of me".

On the 22nd of August we had our engagement party and thanks to everyone involved it turned out wonderfully well! Thanks everyone for contributing to make this wonderful day one of the happiest days of my life (and of Yuko's I'm sure)

皆様のおかげで婚約パーティーは最高のパーティーになりました。改めて、本当にありがとうございました。

Woke me up umpteen times, this bedroom infiltrating blighter, but I could never locate it.

Finally saw it at first daylight while it was using the old 'hide under the ceiling fan' ploy, to no avail.
Well, serves it right, it drew first blood!
