  • Hitch

    10 month old. He has become a brave dog, doesn’t show any fear for other dogs, doesn’t bark when there is no need to do so, is curious to try new things and reacts reasonably well to our commands. He’s strong and healthy and is accustomed to all our habits at home. In short; he has…

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average

    “Dow Jones Industrial Average” for the common man ….

  • Happy New Year !

     

  • 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…

  • at the end of 2013

    our family was together for some nice food, presents, board game and everything else good company produces ….

  • lawn turned into swamp

      The combination of rain,  dogs playing and scratching chickens was too much for our lawn 😉 

  • DIY

    I took a day off from my work and got into my velomobile to have a ride around Walcheren. I also visited an old colleague of me, who owns a Do It Yourself Garage. He also poured me a nice strong Coffee ! I really recommend to consult him, before eventual having your car fixed…

  • In remembrance of Nelson

    When we heard that Nelson died, we were listening to old music, out of the days of Apartheid. For instance this old record with the beautifull voice of James Madhlope Phillips. Both Marjan and I like to listen to this old LP “INKULULEKO !”, that was recorded on 21 September 1980 in Bremen. Marjan sang…

  • near “fort Rammekens”

    letting our dog out near fort Rammekens …

  • starry, starry night.

    Every year Marjan likes the decorations for Christmas. We both are serious atheists, but since a few years we use this decoration for our window. It’s part of our “culture”, just as “zwarte Piet” is. These things have nothing to do with slavery or Christianity ….  

  • a new job

    Yesterday was one of the worst days in my life. After a carreer of 32 years at the Thermphos- site (former Hoechst) in Vlissingen I left to start a new job as process technician at the Latex-site of Styron in Terneuzen. Probably my appearance didn’t show, but I felt sad …. very sad.  It doesn’t…

  • simple living + resilience

    just for inspiration …. but where does my dog sleep ? …. a house without a dog is not a home 😉

  • a walk in the Ardennes

    We went there with our camper, hoping to see an Indian Summer.

  • 2 days in the Ardennes

    Just strolling through the woodlands.

  • How to build a road …

    … in Bangladesh for the modern economy. Let the old and poor women leave their broken family’s and let them work without proper tools. Ask the Worldbank to finance all necessary payments and then call it “a secure and regular source of income” provided by “The World Bank Group’s Employment Generation Program for the Poorest…
