Board Games
Since lockdown, many amusing things are no longer possible. Things like going out for dinner, having some drinks on a terrace, watching a movie at a cinema or a performance in a theatre, visiting a museum. Those sorts of things. So we tried to come up with other ways to have fun. And one thing…
King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride
One of the first computer games I ever played was “King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride”, also called King’s Quest VII.I got the disc from “Aunt Marion”, who got it again from Rob (if I’m correct). The game was developed in 1994 (and that was before I was born) and was considered a “high resolution” game…
Far Cry 5

The meaning of the Greek flag
For my Greece loving friends, here some explanations why the Greek flag is blue and white *smiles*. The Greek flag is the symbol of national pride and patriotic virtue. In this Greece is nothing special compared with many other countries. I think for many countries around the world their national flag is an important symbol….
Leipzig
Europe has many wonderful cities, but some are really special. These are beautiful cities as our own Amsterdam, but also Vienna and Prague. And for me the city where I am right now, Leipzig. I have been here now several times for my work and two times together with Rob (as extension of a working…
Photo’s we love: The beach of Eftalou
I have added a new category to the weblog: “Photo’s we love”. The idea behind this new category is to create an collection of photo’s made by the authors of the articles on this weblog that has a special meaning to them. This special meaning can be because the photo is of very high quality,…
