I agree with Rob, let make the blog also on the public side more lively again. And as he said some time ago, it’s not always necessary to have a lengthy detailed article. Sometimes a beautiful photo or even a good meme is welcome. So let me also add a small article :-). Like many…

The stars above
Now the darkness has covered the island, the temperature has become very nice. Very welcome after the heat of the day. Mel, Marion and I made a very nice walk in the neighborhood of Mel’s house. Just 5 minutes away from her house and the darkness is complete. Then, looking up to the sky, something…

A nice walk…
Yesterday Sanne and I had the same thoughts… the weather was too good to stay home and do nothing. But for once there was really nothing to do in or around the town of Haaksbergen. So when I called her, she told me that she was just about to call me :). So we ended…

When there are times when a lot is going on your life (good things and less good things), it is important to take some steps away from things… take a small break. I think everyone has her or his way of doing this. I do this my several ways…. Most common is to grab my…
