A weird experience…
Today I was at my mothers house a bit. After all some things have to be taken care of while my mother is staying in the home where she currently is. Anyway, while I was there the phone started to rang. Of course I picked up the phone. There was this lady with an Asian…
Christmas day
This is one of those moments of rest during a busy day of Christmas day. Marion is taking a nap. The time difference is still hard on her. Sanne is laying lazy on the couch watching a bit tv. And I? I checked my mail and read some forums. And wrote this message about today….
Evert Boar steak
We had here a wonderful Christmas Eve. The first part with Marion’s parents and later on with three of us. Marion just went to bed. She was still tired of the travelling and the time difference. And Sanne also went to bed. And I am still here pondering a bit about the evening. We had…
She is back….
Marion is back in The Netherlands and I am a happy person. It was so great to see her coming through the arrival gate of the Dortmund airport. I thought exploded when I hold her in my arms and kissed her. I will not even try to describe all the emotions I felt on that…

Night of the Proms 2009 Germany
Yesterday Patrick and I have been to the Night of the Proms in Germany. In Dortmund to be exact. For us going to The Night of the Proms almost has become a tradition. We started our journey towards Dortmund early, because of the time of the year there was also the Christmas Market in Dortmund…
Chicken thighs with cranberries
Today it was my turn to cook something. We (for now Sanne and I) decided that each weekend when I am in Haaksbergen we will make something nice to eat for each other. It is has not to be something very expensive, but something you will not eat every day. Marion will join happily into…
