Today is the day of … so many celebrations!
Of course any one knows celebrations like Christmas, Easter and Halloween, to mention just a few. And I think also almost everyone will realise that there are many more celebrations, after all every country, culture and religion has its own celebrations. But there are many more celebrations. Some serious, some less serious. So lets have…
Looking back from begin 2017 to 2016
It is always good to have at the begin of a new year a moment to look back at the year that has passed by. So lets have a short look from 2017 to 2016 I think for me personally it was a relaxed year. Of course there were things that went not completely the…

Everybody likes it to get presents (at least I think so). And so today I was happy when I got those two nice little bags with paprika powder as present. Let start with some nice to know information of the paprika: Paprika powder is made of the fruit of the “Capsicum annuum”-plant. In some countries…
Suske and Wiske 337: Game of Drones
And then there is a new comic book of Suske and Wiske” (or Spike and Suzy as they are called in English) again. This comic book has the catching name “Game of Drones” and I think that everyone will see where this title is taken from (“Game of Thrones”, for those that didn’t know). This…

Weblog 666 :-)
This morning I noticed by coincidence that there were exactly 666 articles posted on my web-log. And that is a reason enough for a new article! Since 2007 666 articles and 1295 comments. Not bad at all, I would say. Specially when you consider that there have been times of low activity here on my…
Entrecôte (or porterhouse steak)
I think everyone had those moments that you want to do something, but you just don’t get the time for it to do it… It has been extremely busy at work and privately is not much different for me. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. But there was this one thing I really…
Some people noticed that I haven’t posted anything for some time on Facebook. And that is correct, I basically stopped using Facebook. Main reason for this that Facebook becomes more and more a privacy thread. If not by Facebook self, then it is by people with bad intentions. For the second time now in the…
