  • cycling scores (fietsen scoort)

    Today I went to work on my recumbent and registered it on a special website; “Fietsen scoort“. Last year I cycled 3200 km on my commute. This month only 200 kilometers, but the year has only just begun. The website is only in Dutch. But maybe it is good for others on this globe to…

  • Humor on the computer.

    My neighbour likes to surf on the internet and always manages to find the funny stuff. Sometimes only humor is capabel to express the right thought in just one picture ……………………… Gaston, thank you for cheering me up with your humor.   

  • Ice Bike Races

    This video is on youtube. I was amazed how many imagination there is for designing ice bikes ! There is no market for commercial products, so everybody is just creating some kind of ice bike and is having a lot of fun. Thank you Mary Arneson for making this video ! Mary explained the video…

  • an inconvenient truth

    I didn’t see the movie “An inconvenient thuth” in the cinema, but now you can see it on google video. It certainly is an inconvenient truth, but remember; Al Gore is an American too ! I think it will give a lot of trouble in my own neighbourhood when sea-level rises. My house is build…

  • good old “Pink Floyd”.

    I found this video on you tube. I am pleased to see that people take the time to share their love for music on the internet. It takes about 30 minutes and you’ll go back to the sixties. It was the last occasion where Syd played on his guitar. So you can hear the old Pink…

  • laughter is the best medicine !

    Life can be so simple and easy if you live it humorous.

  • Marjan

    It was dinnertime, it was snowing  and there  was a terrible traffic congestion in the neighbourhood of Utrecht. So we decided to have a stop at the first restaurant alongside the highway. It turned out to be “Oud-Leusden”. .

  • Johan Berend Willem

    Johan Berend Willem Harwig is my brother. He is  mentally handicapped and living near Ermelo in the Netherlands. I visited him yesterday and made a short video. Just for all the family living all around the world and therefore not able to visit him.

  • medical check

    I get a medical check-up every year now, because I am a sort of volunteer to use a gas mask (like the fire department uses in case of heavy smoke) at my work in case of unforeseen circumstance. It is a same sort of test that sportsmen have to do. On a home-trainer with all…

  • NSYPWNKNC

    Not So Young Parents With No Kid Nomore Children Our oldest daughter invited us for a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant in Domburg.

  • Snow in Portland

    I think that people in Portland are not used to snowy conditions. It is clear that cyclists are not safe on the streets when these drivers are in their car.

  • the best webcam in Vlissingen

    This is the best webcam in the neighbourhood of were I live. It shows the Boulevard in Vlissingen (is called “Flushing” on english maps) and is pointed to the west.

  • man of the year !

      I opened my mailbox and thought that my brother was to be elected as the “man of the year 2006” ! But it turned out to be a nice powerpoint presentation that shows that a cyclist among us has been elected. I don’t know who were in the jury, but I have a feeling…

  • storm

    A short video of our back garden in the storm today. The trees in our neighbour’s garden are a great defence against the storms coming from the south-west . Rea and Mo had to stay inside and were looking through the window.

  • last day

    Rea had her last day at her trainee post. After learning and working for one year, everybody thought she was a colleague instead of a student. She learned a lot at her trainee post, but also changed from a teenager into a grown-up with adult behaviour.
