A week of fun

It's been nine days since I won the annual Crime Fiction Award of the Netherlands and it has been one long week of fun. The appartment was filled to capacity with flowers. The largest bouquet of peonies I ever saw was sent by Lira, the main sponsors of the award. Geerte and Peter sent a bunch of beautiful deep red long stemmed roses, I'm sure they were Baccarats. And there were many more. We ran out of vases and had flowers in buckets on the floor. It was great. Even today, a bouquet arrived from Marina. And for nine days there were articles in the newspapers and interviews on the radio. Yesterday there was an interview in NRC Handelsblad. I was quite pleased with it, especially with the heading: "In his actions man shows who he is". Not bad.
Later that day the government fell.
What can I say?
Wonderful.
