    I was born in 314 ppm …

    I was born in 314 parts per million of Carbon Dioxide, my children were born in 345 ppm CO2 , and my granddaughter is born in 409 ppm. The most commonly used definitions of time are expressed in eras. Recently I have seen more and more that environmentally conscious people use the concentration of CO2…

    33 years ago our youngest was born …

    From the start, she worked fabulously well in our family and she also enjoyed the adventurous holidays in small tents to the full. She learned a lot from her slightly older sister. Congratulations ! and we are glad that you are there and that you just stayed the way you are. Meanwhile, the mother of…

    a ride in the rain

    The advantage of a velomobile is that you always have a perfect raincoat around you. However, the downside is that in such a small space, you need a huge wide-angle lens to illustrate that. See RideWithGPS : https://ridewithgps.com/trips/57103315

    Fortunately today it was dry once, at least without rain. So I was able to walk my Sandwalk for a while, together with Marjan and the dog.

    the beautiful clouds called for a ride

    I am terribly annoyed by all the commotion surrounding the US presidential elections, corona measures, saving the neoliberal economy, exploiting the environment and many other things that are all important. Today, the clouds invited me to take a ride in my Quest. So I put on my in-ear speakers, put on some quiet blues music,…

    a short ride to see if I still feel my muscles

    Today I was briefly in my Quest 552 to let my leg muscles “talk” … They told me that I cycle far too little. I replied that I am now 64 years old and no longer have to win races … I want to relax a bit more while cycling. They understood. While taking photos,…

    Exploring Europe with a camper

    An acquaintance asked for advice because he wants to explore Europe with a camper for a several years. That is why I decided to write down my experiences that I have gained with our motorhomes over the past decades. First, there is the choice of whether you want to be a traveller or a tourist. Second, it is important what financial options you…

    Just visited my former workplace.

    It was storming, it was raining and it was cold. But the dog had to get out and I thought: Let’s go to the monument and let everything blow in the wind … I think it’s fantastic that apparently it was possible to put an old “slakkenpan” next to the monument. Ton Witte could have…

    LED daytime running lights

    One of the two LED daytime running lights had broken. Since the lid was loose for maintenance, I immediately renewed both. Yesterday I asked Velomobiel.nl which lights they use for this. They are these that they order in large amounts at Conrad, they are most likely not for sale at a local electrical store.Today I…
