    The last one of the famous Tielman Brothers  passed away……….Too old to die young ! 

  • museum

    There is a corner in our hall that we use as a sort of “family-museum”. Like in an official museum all things are just collecting dust. But every now and then I take a pause in this corner (mostly when I’m on my way to the toilet 😉 ) and honour all the people who…

  • Hoechst …. Thermphos …. ???

    Old videos, made for remembrance of our old Phosphorus plant in Vlissingen-Oost. Just to remember “how it was in those days when everything worked and produced and made a lot of noise and money ….” The first one was made by Willem S. ,  just a few days before the production stopped. This one was…

    Rea was born 26 years ago on this day ! a long time ago we recorded this song ; But today she sings with Roeben ….

  • What would you do ?

    I was on my way to downtown Vlissingen, to visit the festivities on Liberation Day. Then I found out I had to pass road blocks to get there …… I don’t know why I hate this kind of situations so much. Maybe it’s just because I’m Dutch and stubborn. In my view all the guards…

  • lifetime guarantee ….

    …. for our coat-hangers. These are in our family for a long, long time. And they’re still going strong! Just for fun I took a photo, asking myself if there are more people who collect this kind of practical “souvenirs”.

  • can’t get it out of my mind

    Marco shared a short clip on G+ and now I can’t get this old tune out of my head. It keeps repeating in my mind ….. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins first performed it since 1956. but the mimics of Jimmy Slonina in the clip that Marco shared is spectacular ! I agree with Michelle who said;…

  • Etta James

    Just passed away.

  • all known living organisms …

    ….  on this website called; Discover Life.  It shows how all living organisms are related to each other. It’s a good website to find out and learn a lot of evolution and biology.

  • interesting … DIY-cargo bike

    OpenBikeWorks is developing a nice cargo-bike.  It got my attention, because their aim is to build the bike without any welding needed !    Every average sucker (as I am) can drill holes and play with bolts and nuts, just no welding please because that requires craftsmanship gained in many years.    I expect that “Do-It-Yourself” will…

  • darkroom

    Today I have got a touch of flu so I stayed inside.  The old darkroom was collecting dust, so I decided to dismantle the enlargers. The end of an old hobby …

  • Spekkoek

    A tradition is to be maintained even when yourself are the one who started it. So Marjan baked spekkoek today, just as she does every year around 15 November … It’s a tradition she started when we met 28 years ago ! What I can’t, is letting you smell some of the aroma that is…

  • Andy Tielman …

    … is no more.  Died after a long rock&roll life. When I was a teenager, it was my brother-in-law who introduced me to this music. He was my first guitar-hero. He used the guitar as it should be used.  Listen to this video … Good old times !
