Begin this week I was checking some websites about the iPhone, like I do that on regular base. I like to keep up to date about things like my iPhone. While reading some articles I noticed a very unexpected, but very nice announcement…. Wolfenstein 3D for the iPhone And I must admit that this is…

A schnitzel and the rest of the weekend…
Yes, also when Marion is not around (she had a congress from her work in Germany this weekend) I take good care of myself. For tonight I made myself a delicious schnitzel (“zelf gepaneerd”, no idea how to say that in English). Some baked potatoes and fine carrots/garden peas to it. A little mayonnaise and…
About cycling and mussels…
Today the weather was very nice, way too nice to sit inside all day. After discussing a little what we could do, Marion and I both liked the idea to go cycling a bit. So I checked if we could borrow a bicycle for Marion and luckily we could (we really have to get bicycle…
“Magnus, Robot-Fighter”
When I as a young boy went to the elementary School in the town of Haaksbergen, there was a boy with the name Laurens Mentink in my class (no, not related to :P). He was kinda a school-friend of mine. Once he lent me some comic-books of “Magnus, Robot-Fighter” (or as they were called in…
Boeuf Bourguignon
Yesterday I made Boeuf bourguignon for Marion and me. It was the first time I made this recipe. To be honest, it is not very hard, but it takes a long time before it is ready. Take about 500 gr. beefsteak (“runderlappen”) and slice into cubes and cut about 4 shallots in to small pieces….
Concert gebouw Amsterdam – Ellen ten Damme
Yesterday evening Marion and I have been to a concert of Ellen ten Damme. I don’t think that it will be a big surprise for anyone who knows me (or reads my weblog regularly) that I really like the music and shows of Ellen. She has a great voice and a very good sense of…
A very enjoyable evening… a nice movie and a good conversation (and a song to that :P)
Yesterday Marion and I had a very nice and enjoyable evening. We had planned to go out for dinner, but our moods were in the evening not really after it. So we stayed home and ordered some food online. We both had a mixed grill and I really must say that we really liked it….
A small tree in my house….
Since this weekend has something new. Something I already wanted for a long time… A Bonzai tree! I do realize that Bonzai-trees are not that rare anymore as they used to be. But many Bonzai-trees die very fast because they get not the treatment the need and they need a lot more care then normal…
Operation “GMail”
As many know I have already for ages my main mail-address with XS4All. This because I have been for many years customer with them as my Internet-provider. But when I moved from Haaksbergen to Heemskerk I changed from provider. My current provider is Ziggo and although you can hear many bad stories about them, I…
