(Click on the image to zoom in) Rain, cold wind, temperatures that start to call to turn on the heating, all signs autumn is really arrived. And that is how it is here now: Wet, cold and wind. I was standing in front of a window looking outside, Marissa and Marion behind me sitting on…

Spider plant that belonged to my mother.
Chlorophytum comosum is a well known houseplant. The common name for this plant is spider plant, but is also known as airplane plant, St. Bernard’s lily, spider ivy or ribbon plant. In Dutch the plant is known as “Zebragras” or “Graslelie”. It wants a light place, but preferably not too much direct sunlight. Apart from…
Me and my big mouth…
You know it when you say something you don’t really mean, out of fun… to make others laugh and have a good time. And suddenly it gets a slight bitter taste. Many will know that Marion and I have a so called “LAT” relation (Living Apart Together). The weekends we are mostly together, but throughout…
Forge of Empires
As with every holiday there are these “empty moments” when nothing is going on and nothing needs your attention. Mostly it is early in the morning, late in the evening or when the ladies were getting a tan. For these moments I loaded a game called “Forge of Empires” on my iPad (well, you are…
The stars above

Just read the articles that Marion and I will write during our vacation here and maybe you will understand why. Our vacation really started yesterday.

In 2015 around this time of the year I placed a message on Facebook related to Marion’s and my vacation to the island of Lesvos. It was after a long time that we would be going there again. On one of the photo’s of the area where we would be staying there was an island…
RSS or Really Simple Syndication
Yesterday Marissa asked me if there was not an easy way to see if something new happened on the weblog or the forums. I was happy that I was able to say that there is indeed something for that: RSS, which stands for “Really Simple Syndication”. Let me explain what RSS is. With RSS you…
Tony Hazzard – Loudwater House
Many years ago I bought a vinyl long play record of Tony Hazzard. I was still going to school. So yes, really a long time ago. First of all, I can imagine that specially younger people don’t know who Tony Hazzard is. Even in “The Gang” only Miranda and Jennifer knew right away who he…
