    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;We bought a house! This was somewhat scary as I was in Egypt at the time, in a &lt;a href="http://www.sharmelnaga.com/new/en/index.php"&gt;dreary resort&lt;/a&gt; (it looks nothing like this) surrounded by 60km of Red Sea and 60km of desert - and no internet. Even after fixing the network of the operator of the resort, there was no way to get online.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The following was even more scary - I don&amp;#8217;t have a real job as such (or so the bank thinks), even though I make enough money from PowerDNS and other activities &lt;a href="http://netherlabs.nl"&gt;my company&lt;/a&gt; employs. Sadly, banks in The Netherlands still equate a normal job with income security and vice versa. So no real job, no income.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luckily &lt;a href="http://meermim.org"&gt;Mirjam&lt;/a&gt; holds a Real Job, which appears to have convinced the bank to fork over the money! The house would also not have been possible without the generosity/inheritance from my parents. House prices are crazy over here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The ground floor of the house on the corner, it runs from just to the right of the door on the extreme left of the picture to the extreme right of the picture: &lt;img width=100% src="http://ds9a.nl/lijsterbeslaan/foto-1.jpg"&gt;
Our upstairs neighbours walk through part of our garden.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Garden behind the house: &lt;img width=100% src="http://ds9a.nl/lijsterbeslaan/foto-2.jpg"&gt;
Note that the realtor has a very powerful (&amp;#8216;lying&amp;#8217;) lens - the garden is not as big as it appears here by far.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Same goes for the front: &lt;img width=100% src="http://ds9a.nl/lijsterbeslaan/foto-3.jpg"&gt; and: 
&lt;img width=100% src="http://ds9a.nl/lijsterbeslaan/foto-4.jpg"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The kitchen is the stuff of dreams:
&lt;img width=100% src="http://ds9a.nl/lijsterbeslaan/foto-8.jpg"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The rest of the house is nice as well, but y&amp;#8217;all don&amp;#8217;t need to see my future bathroom and sleeping room :-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=#ff0000&gt;Update:&lt;/font&gt; ok, Mirjam decided you do need to see it, read all about it &lt;a href="http://meermim.org/?p=17"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
