Today a package arrived at my home on which I have been waiting rather a long time… The DvD-set containing the third season of the TV series Sanctuary… Some months ago I heard that this DvD-set would be released and I pre-ordered directly in the UK, because this something I didn’t want to miss. I…

A Light for Travellers…
I already told recently that I like candles and oil lamps. And I indeed do. And so one of my neighbours asked me some time ago why I often, when the weather allows it, have in the lantern on my balcony a candle burning. Well, first of all it is a nice sight from inside…
