When we are going on a holiday we always take something to read along. A good book helps with the time in the plane, but it also very nice for a quiet moment in the evening. This year on our holiday back to Lesbos I took “The Ultimate Hitchhaker’s Guide to The Galaxy” by the…

This Perfect Day (“De Dag Der Dagen”)
Some time ago I borrowed the book “This Perfect Day” (or “De Dag Der Dagen” as it is called in Dutch) by Ira Levin from a colleague. She and I had a discussion about what possibly the future of the world could/would be. She suggested to read this book and as I could not find…
And again a new Suske & Wiske comic!
When I was doing some shopping today (I like it a lot that shops are open on Sunday) I noticed a new comic in the Suske & Wiske series. It is the 325th Suske & Wiske comic (within the official series) Of course I bought it :-). The story is about a ghost, World War…
A Cookery Book with memories…
The book on the picture above is a cookery book and a rather old one. The book is called “Ik kan koken” (“I can cook”) and it belonged to my mother. I have known this book all my life and now it is standing between much modern books of Jamie Oliver, Pierre Wind and 24Kitchen…

Life is there to… think back of school again
Some time I was browsing a bit around on the Internet. A bit bored I gave Google names of people I knew of way back and looked at the results. Most result were unclear and mostly not related to the people I once knew… But one name gave an unexpected result. The name I was…
Suske & Wiske “Het bizarre blok”
People who know me little, know that I really like that the Dutch comics of “Suske & Wiske”. I have very nice collection of them, but not all yet. When I see one of their comics that I haven’t got yet, I have a hard time not to buy it. So yesterday after work I…
