So I thought that maybe the raw materials needed to make razor blades are rare and that makes it expensive. Although it is kinda hard to find which materials are used, I could not find anything very rare or expensive. Of course, the blades are made of high quality steel with a special coating, but…
King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride
One of the first computer games I ever played was “King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride”, also called King’s Quest VII.I got the disc from “Aunt Marion”, who got it again from Rob (if I’m correct). The game was developed in 1994 (and that was before I was born) and was considered a “high resolution” game…
Binke & Boukje
Recently, I have talked to people quite often about dogs. Don’t know why, it just happened like that.And yesterday, I took a small walk. Yes, with my crutch around the building where I live. I need fresh air every day! Then, quite unexpectedly, a young dog came up around a corner of the building. Black…
Poor Greece…
This weekend we had a video call with Mel; Mel at her home on Lesvos, Rob at Heemskerk and me at Haaksbergen. As it is now over a year we met Mel in person, we regularly make video calls. We really miss her. Mel had some bad news. The COVID-19 situation became worse. Greece moved…
When boredom strikes
Yesterday, I was bored. Last Friday, I sprained an ankle. I slipped off the stairs. If the virus was not enough to limit myself. I remembered I had a jigsaw puzzle I had recently purchased. I’ve never been able to push myself to work on it, but now I could! A scenery of Amsterdam at…
About liquorice and dessert
People who know me well know that I love liquorice. I am really Dutch in this. I know that a lot of people in other parts of the world passionately despise liquorice.But I have to say I really like the better quality liquorice and not just what you can buy in supermarkets. A licorice I…
A Wonderful Announcement!
At first I wanted to make this post private, but you all are right: If there is no real need for a post to be private, it should be placed as public. So this post will be public accessible :-). In December 2018, Richard and I announced our engagement. And it was a great move…
It looks like spring is there…
I agree with Rob, let make the blog also on the public side more lively again. And as he said some time ago, it’s not always necessary to have a lengthy detailed article. Sometimes a beautiful photo or even a good meme is welcome. So let me also add a small article :-). Like many…
About that “Not reviewed” category (and an update to the blog)
Our blog was the last period a bit quiet and what was written was posted as private (so only visible to registered members with proper permissions). But I am glad that it is once again more active, also for public articles (readable by all). Both Marissa as Miranda told me that they are working on…
Never a dull day….
Rob and I were drinking our first coffee of the day, when we heard the sirens of the fire brigade. This happens more often, so we weren’t really worried.But the sound of the sirens grew stronger… Then Rob said, “Those cars pulled up right next to our building!” Rob asked me to get dressed and…
