This evening I have been watching the movie “John Carter of Mars”. It was already the plan to go to see this movie with some colleagues, but not a date was set. So last Wednesday I said if this week no date was set I would go see the movie this weekend. This because I…

Checkmate
Congratulations, Sanne! This was an awesome game of chess. More checkmate then this you could not get me :-). I really enjoyed this game. It was a balanced and challenging game. Until the very end it was not clear who was on the winning hand. And I think we both gave each other some very…
Patrick’s blog
This morning I read on the blog of my friend Patrick that he will stop with writing on his blog. That is a pity, but I can understand him. As he wrote, when he started his blog in 2007 it gave him a way to express himself and he needed that over then. But now…
Spaghetti with codfish

Out on my bicycle…
Marion stayed this weekend with her godmother, who is very ill. As I have to work tomorrow, I had to travel back to Heemskerk. To be honest, I rather stayed at Marion’s side. But well… Even when I was alone at my apartment this Sunday, I didn’t want to stay all day inside. So I…
