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…
For quite some years I have an account on Facebook and during those years I was an active poster and debater. Maybe it is me, but I feel that Facebook has changed. Or more precise, the community behind Facebook has changed. Many, maybe even most, of the ongoing discussions seems to be without any respect…
Overwatch
May this year Blizzard released a new game called “Overwatch” and it is nothing like anything I have played before. The story behind the game (in some lines): Overwatch was a global peacekeeping task force. It helped save the world during a global crisis, and was the big name in worldwide heroism and unity. It…

The exploding cucumber
As a Dutch sayings learns us, you’re never to old learn something new. And well, today I learned something new! During the holiday on Lésvos (as the residents of Lesbos call their islands themselves) I made quite some photo’s. And among those a number of photo’s of plants that for some reason did draw my…
