Originally today’s plan was going to “De Apenheul” together with Sanne and Marion. Sanne remarked yesterday that she has been before to “De Apenheul”. That was also true for Marion and me. Then she said that she never had been to Burgers Zoo near the city of Arnhem. I have been to Burgers Zoo, but…

Horse steak with whisky sauce and mushrooms
I know that some people have problems with eating the meat of animal-species that they feel closer to then others (for whatever reason). This is of course their full right… I don’t have this. My point of view is very simple and straight forward in this… All animal-species are equal. No species is more or…
You asked for it, you got it!!! :-)
Recently I had some remarks and comments that it can be hard to contact me through my blog, specially for people who don’t know me directly. Add to that I delete comments on articles that are off-topic directly. And yet, so as some folks told me, it would be handy to have a way contact…
Balvenie, 12 years old
Yesterday Marion and I have been shopping. While I was gathering all kind of things for dinner tonight, Marion visited a liquor store to buy a nice wine for that dinner (she has much more knowledge about wine then I have). But she returned not only with a very nice wine, but also with a…
Done…
A few months ago I bought a new media centre to replace the old one, which started to have some problems. I really like this new Pioneer-set. Great amplifier with a BluRay-player and good all-around speakers. As said, I am really happy with this set. But in the old set was a hard disk placed…
A Perfect Glass for Whisky…
“Champagne, Brandy, Wine… each has its own glass. Yet whisky, the worlds most complex spirit can be found served in anything from hiball tumblers to Paris goblets. It’s a bit like pouring your vintage champagne into a pint tumbler or your XO brandy into a shot glass! Whisky is a drink to be savoured. Time…
Xena, Warrior Princess
From 1995 to 2001 the TV series “Xena, Warrior Princess” were recorded. Around these years the series was also shown on TV over here. I always liked that series, but I am a bad TV series watcher. So I missed many episodes. The series of Xena is a spin-off from the TV series “Hercules: The…
Glenkincie, 12 years old
After the visit Marion and I made to Scotland it must be very clear that I really like a good whiskey. A good glass of Single Malt Whiskey is really nice while reading a good book or listening to nice music. It is also a very nice way to end an enjoyable evening. So I…
Coming home…
Walking home from the train station to my home. Not a big distance, but soaking wet from the rain because my umbrella couldn’t stand the rain and wind. Cold and tired when I finally enter my apartment. Getting rid of the wet clothes. Taking a nice and warm shower. Starting to feel more comfortable again….
Scotland, what a beautiful country….
I promised some people that I still had to write a bit to our visit to Scotland… So as everybody might know, Marion and I have been some days to Scotland. A needed break from everything, because the last half year has been very hectic. The passing away from my mother, everything involving the buying…
