It is around 80 F here today and the humidity, at 90%, makes it feel like you are walking through soup. The thought of fresh air in the Netherlands sounds delightful.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
I have no idea How warm that is in celcius, but it does sound bad. I guess accordance to your climate ours is better fight now, but it is supposed to snow now.
When we visited (pretty much all of) Western Europe, the Netherlands was part of our two week trip (is the Netherlands considered Northern Europe?). It was wonderful there. We spent a day in Amsterdam, a truly delightful city.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
I think that's pretty much all of Europe. On another trip, a band of young "street people" tried their best to capture my wallet in Spain. They were not skilled enough. I always keep my wallet in a front pocket, a tight front pocket, and that makes the thief's job a bit harder. Heck, I even do that here in the USA.

Yes you sure are right. We had the Same in Istanbul. A group of gypsy kids where following us. The problem is we where prepared for it. You have to nowadays. I do not even take a bag with me mostly. Just plastic money and a id.
Night-nite...it's 8:30 PM now I'm getting mighty sleepy. But first I'm going to snack on a pizza. See you tomorrow. Please post pictures soon and I will do likewise.
Here an update on the seedlings. The top picture are from 12 november. The did grow nice, but the leaves are still very tiny. Is that normal?
The second one is from 10 december and the third one is from 15 december. They all are doing fine. They are enjoying the sun right now.
Also a new batch in the propagator again.
Willeke, They look wonderful and the leaves at this size are fine. Nice to see the differences with your seedlings all started in intervals.

Thanks Rick. Glad to hear they look fine. Yes it is nice to see the difference in all the stages and the differences with How the where. You can see them grow in the pics.
Hey there Willeke. A gentleman from India. NRSundaram has some Arabicums and others for sale and they are only available to those within the EU. They ship from where he is in the Netherlands. He resides there for 5-6mths. I have received seeds from him and he is a very well known fella and so knowledgeable. He is listed on FB if you go there.
Just a note as they are so low in cost.

Adeniumgirl said:Hi Kadie. My seedlings are doing great. The biggest ones do have 5 leaves now and a nice cadeaux already. The youngest ones are also very nice.
Good morning, Willeke! Through my research as well as experience, when the babies have 5 to 6 true leaves, it is time to transplant them into their own individual 4" pots.
