It is a little tradition that Marion and I have in the weekends that we are together at least one breakfast on bed. No strict rules here that we make it by turn or that there is count on how many times each of us has made it. No, just who is awake first. It…

A lazy day and wild boar steak
Today Marion and I had the super lazy day we had planned the first weekend of my vacation and which was ruined by me becoming ill. So yesterday evening we dropped the mattresses from our bed in the living room in front of the TV-set. And there they are still. If I not needed to…
BlutEngel
Today I had planned to go with Patrick to a concert of “Blut Engel” in Germany. Everything was arranged, I would travel to the town of Oldenzaal where Patrick lives and from there we would drive to Germany. Then Friday evening we would celebrate Patrick’s birthday and in the weekend I would drop by in…
The weather…
It is getting close to the end of November, I have slept last night with the door of my balcony wide open. And I was just on my balcony for some fresh air, the door will be open again this night. I don’t know if there is something wrong with the weather, but something in…
About dogs, Sanne and Harry Potter…
Today Sanne was here again to see if she could be of any help for me, after all I am still ill (as Marion states, as long you have fever, you are ill). And yes, I appreciate it very much that Sanne comes around so often. A very special friend she is indeed. Today she…
What a day again…
What a day again indeed… This morning early I started with a job I had planned for this holiday. Already for some time the drain from the kitchen was not working as it should. It took ages before the kitchen sink got ride of all the water in it. So somewhere last week I bought…
Christmas, some thoughts about it…
Today I saw a discussion about Christmas on Facebook. It was about “Keep Christ in Christmas”. Rather some reactions were claiming that Christmas should not be a commercial celebration. With that I agree. Funny fact was that the “Keep Christ in Christmas”-statement was coming from a webshop where you can buy all kind of things…
11-11-11
Yesterday it was 11 November 2011… A normal day it may seem, but not for everyone. For a big group of people it was 11-11-11, a very special day it seemed. Lots of people married this day, thinking this would bring good luck (so much for trusting your relation to need something like that as…
About tenderloin with goat cheese…. and The Blues Brothers! Yeah!!
Today I prepared tenderloin (“varkenshaas”) for Marion and me. I tried something new and it worked out well (Miranda, thank you for making my idea complete). I prepared a marinade of peanut oil (“arachide olie”). I mixed the oil with black pepper, salt, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. I placed the tenderloin for hour in the…
To process or not to process…
This I like so much. An evening of complete relaxing. The lights in the living room are dimmed. Some candles are lighted. A concerto from Bach fills the rooms. A wonderful mood… Marion was reading, but by now she is sleeping on the couch. A nice sight. She is fallen into a deep sleep. You…
