At the company where I work we do quite some projects. And some projects are really big. So it is a great moment when a project is finished and goes live. Sometimes the project-manager is so happy about this that he or she does something nice or fun for the people who worked on it….

Check mate and about cactuses
This weekend Sanne was visiting us. For those who don’t know, Sanne and Marion are already since they went to school very close friends. And nowadays I am happy that I can also call her a very good friend of mine. Sanne and I share a passion together: Chess. Now several years ago Sanne asked…
Flowers and Rob’s weblog
(Click on the image to zoom in) Rob bought beautiful flowers for his dinner-table again. He really has a great taste for that. Without any problem he picks the flowers that fit well together. I fully do agree with him that flowers add to the atmosphere of the living room. Anyway, another thing I want…
“Ik ben vies”
My first entry here will be about a laugh we had during our vacation on Lesbos this year. As may be known, we went this with a group of very good friends to Lesbos. We had a wonderful time there. One day we made a very nice walk to the east of the town of…
“Het omgekeerde land”
Today when I did my groceries I noticed that a new album of my favourite comic-hero’s Suske and Wiske was available. Of course I had to buy it. The title of this new album is “Het omgekeerde land” (in English: “The reverse land”) and it is issue 336 in the series (first print 6 September…
A change to my weblog…

I have given editor rights to Marissa and Sanne, so they can publish here articles here. On their own request they want me to review their articles before…

Recently I received the book “Wonderwaan EdgeZero 2015” by mail (Amazon France for a Dutch book? Okay…). “Wonderwaan” is a magazine about Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror written by Dutch writers. The magazine contains quirky themes and equally quirky editors who push writers to share the best of themselves with us. “Wonderwaan” publishes fantastic stories,…
Jose
Two days ago we were informed that during the last night completely unexpected Jose Lopes passed away. Jose was an colleague of mine who was working as tester in the IT department where I also am working, although he worked for the Front Office and I for the BI/Middleware team. The news stroke us very…
The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
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…
The Castle of Molyvos
(Click on the image to zoom in) During our vacation to Lesvos (as the Greek call Lesbos themselves) we visited the Castle of Molyvos. Last year we also wanted to see this castle, but we went on a Monday. Monday is the day that many things are closed in Greece, including the castle. With that…
