@kali66 nope :-), the summer holidays were filled with family and friends coming over from The Netherlands, so even less time than normal. But I'll try and play along this week.
It certainly can be very frustrating. Makes me think of the first time my family went back to England, ten years after coming out to Canada. I was studying Shakespeare in school and wanted so badly to see his house. We arrived at the gate just as it was closing for the day, and the woman couldn't wait because she had a bus to catch. We couldn't go back the next day because we were on our way to visit some more relatives. I never have seen Shakespeare's house, but perhaps I will someday.
