    There is a larva of a dragonfly on our couch on the veranda. Now just have to wait till the “magic” happens …. I found a short video on YouTube which shows what we can expect ….

  • visited the farm again

    We went back to the farmhouse together. It’s like a museum of how the poor simple peasant  in Zeeland was working and living for the past 100 years ….     I was able to film the stable and got the impression as if the animals were just taken out. It would be the perfect decor for a movie about…

    Decades ago, my brother Henk produced biofuel in his backyard, in Cimahi Indonesia. I still have a sample of his biodiesel, that my other brother Jan gave me after one of his visits. Last week, I started my new job as senior-operator at the biofuel plant in Sluiskil. Life is full of surprises  😉

    I made a sort of memorial for the 32 years that I worked at the Thermphos-site (former Hoechst) in Vlissingen-Oost. The cross of unemployed sample spoons symbolizes the end of the phosphorus-furnaces.  in this video (0.52 ) you can see how a spoon is used to take a sample of fluid iron

  • 5 years ago

    5 years ago, two of my colleagues died in an accident at the phosphorusplant where I used to work. Today I visited the plant to commemorate and honor them. The company went bankrupt and is now being sold piece by piece and demolished. Former colleagues monitor the site during this last stage and ensure that it remains…
