River In Egypt

As all Discovery-addicts know: purple crocodiles like to swim in the Nile-river in Egypt. Of course not literally, since Egypt is kinda dangereous nowadays (though some friends of the crocodile will venture through this country of pyramids and sand).

But to be on a more serious note: we got a letter from the IND, and got denied big time. According to them, one piece of evidence was missing: a paper from the city stating that we live together as a happy purple croc' family. The funny thing is that back in march we did a dual registration thing: registering Miss Croc as resident in Utrecht (at our well-known address) AND the IND registration. The city-worker promised me she would add the city's registration paper (proving Miss Croc's place of residence) to the file. Apparently, that has not been done.

So friday 13th (no spells) i ran off work after lunch, joined up with Miss Croc at the city hall, got her registration form (stating 2 persons live at the address, one of them Miss Croc); but also one form for me (stating that 2 persons live at the address, one of them being me). We hope the IND is smart enough that Miss Crocc and Mister Crocc form the 2 people living there: you never know.

The odds that something else turns out to be wrong is.........I dont know.
But let me just say that Miss Croc's place of birth is registrered as the STATE she has been born in, not goold old S-town. I asked whether that would be a problem to the 2 city workers, and of course according to them this is not a problem. However I forgot to tape them, so no evidence.

Well of to G-land to meet up with some former Croc-host parents. God bless the Crocs and the IND!
