Day 5 - Disaster on the Westerstraat


So... Day 5 and Im still alive... and actually getting into this lazy life a little too easily. I am currently collapsed on a friends sofa watching the 'E' Channel with no idea where I will sleep tonight. Its 7 pm, I have already had a drink and I think I might just have another! I am a true Hobo.

Well something exciting did happen on Day 5... something groundbreaking (literally) happened to the American people today. Well not all of them, just one special one. Something that will stick with me forever. Something that made my day as I woke up this morning (rightly or wrongly so). 

Lora lost approximately 28 litres of blood in a life threatening Amsterdam bicycle accident in the early hours of this morning. She was innocently cycling through the canals, when suddenly disaster struck!!! Ambulances, Politie and everything!!!! She even had an IV. The highlight of the whole affair was when the hospital took a large pair of sharp scissors to Lora's winter coat (and Hoodie)... and its winter.

Quote Lora - "Its a freakin IV, just pull up my sleeve"

The good news is. Lora is OK! She has a hole in her head and she is a little more crazy than yesterday, but she is ALIVE!!! (and in case you were wondering, city dogs will be safe thanks to a pile of sand on the Westerstraat covering the 28 litres).

Get Well Soon Lora.

PS: Apparently something else happened to an American today... Black guy in a White House or something.
PPS: Bike is fine
