Yesterday Sanne and I had the same thoughts… the weather was too good to stay home and do nothing. But for once there was really nothing to do in or around the town of Haaksbergen. So when I called her, she told me that she was just about to call me :).
So we ended up making a nice walk in the “Scholtehagen’-area near Haaksbergen.
People must have thought that Sanne and I were a couple. Well, I couldn’t care less if they did. Almost everyone claims to be open minded, but when a woman and a man get together, enjoy theirselves and feel comfortable, then there has to be more to it… So much for the being open minded of most people.
Anyway, it was nice to walk around the pond that is located there. Relaxed we talked about some things that kept us busy lately. A lot of the things we talked about was nothing new to know, but there were also here and there some new things.
It is good to talk. To listen to the others thoughts and to exchange opinions.
While we walked and talked,we passed the local “heemtuin” (a cultivated garden with plants and flowers that common to the local area). To our surprise it was open and we decided to visit it. And here discovered we had a mutual interest for plants and flowers. So it was a joy to see and talk about all the plants. And I have to admit that Sanne knew many more plants by name as I did.
There was also a shed with bee hives. I am always impressed by these little busy animals. And unlike other people I am not afraid of them. As long I don’t make them angry or am a threat for them, there is no reason to be affraid. I had to laugh softly when I heard the remarks of some other people about how close I got to the hives.
Ahh well… I don’t think I have to tell where this afternoon ended. Somewhere in the middle of Haaksbergen with a cold glass of beer, a glass of wine and some snacks. Hmmm one glass of beer and one glass of wine? ….. *winks*

A Bee will never sting without course. Becourse a Bee sting meens the death of the Bee. Wasp are something different. If they are moody, they can sting without reason. But be aware. Some Beekeepers breed with african Bees. These Bees produce alot of Honey, but are very agressive.
Wow, i just killed my statement……
*me* mumbeling something about signed cd’s……
Rob, it was a very nice afternoon and I don’t care what people think. Their own limited view on things if they see things that are not there.
I like to talk with you. You are a good listener. I really like it how you tilt your head and clearly over think what was said for a moment and then give a useful and meaningful response. Much better as those nothing meaning quick responses.
Yes Patrick, the African bee breeds are indeed more aggressive. But the place that Rob and I did visit was a public place, it would be madness to have that breed there. The bees at the garden were not aggressive at all.
If I remember well the African bee looks rather different as the European breeds (smaller and more wasp alike).
What did you mean with those signed cd’s, Patrick?
Hi Sanne,
The cd remark was a kind of teaser for Rob.
I know you 2 are good friends. And when i read the passage in that Rob was makening the remark that people might think that you 2 are a couple. the first thing that i thought of was Rob with a signed cd.
Recently Rob had a signed cd. And i made a very blunt remark about it. Something i will not display here 😀
You will have to ask Rob for that. (sorry rob gnarl gnarl 😀
Rob? Care to explain?
Ermmm… I will drop by at your place tonight for that…
Signed cd’s will never be the same again 😀
gniffel gniffel (grin grin)
So true Patrick. Rob explained it all yesterday to me and we had some good laughs about it. He told also about the mails you two exchanged yesterday 🙂
He Rob, when do I get a signed cd? 🙂 🙂 🙂
……….
(Haha… one day I get you a signed cd. Promised!)
Sanne, you add deed to word??? Lucky Rob….
Just teasing 🙂
This all made me laugh so very much. See you in about a week 🙂
Well, i think, it would be nice to get together sometime at markt2 and have a laught about it.
:p
