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…
Almost working a year from home…
I just saw a draft post here on my blog where I mention that we are already working more as a month from home. That was written in April 2020. It is now February 2021. Apart for some weeks that we went one day per week back to the office, it’s now almost a year…
Sallandse Heuvelrug
Begin this month we stayed a long weekend in a hotel on the “Sallandse Heuvelrug”. A perfect way to get away from everything for a little. The “Sallandse Heuvelrug” is not very far away from the area we both grew up and so we both have been here before. With the current Covid-19 situation were…
Holland SF
This week the latest issue of the Holland SF magazine was placed in my mailbox (real mail, no email :P). It is issue 271, year 51, 2020/3. It is always very nice to read this magazine. Holland SF is the Magazine of the NCSF, Nederlands Contactcentrum voor Science Fiction (Dutch Science Fiction Society). This society…
