It's a tough job...

...but someone has to do it!

Earning a living drawing pictures of attractive young women in Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam.

We arrived safely and are looking forward to an enjoyable evening out in the centre of town. (Hoping for the best.)
We'll probably miss the last tram back to the hotel. (Preparing for the worst.)

Thoughts of Homer J Simpson:
"Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it.  Now quiet!  They're about to announce the lottery numbers."
