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….

New style of music
We should be right now around 3000 kilometers more to the south, on our beloved Lesvos. Well, as already mentioned here on our weblog, due the Covid-19 situation our holiday was cancelled. Even more, we are here in The Netherlands separated as we are waiting for the result of a Corona test on someone one…
As it seems, no holidays abroad this year…

We had two holidays planned for this year… A week to the city of Prague, the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic.And 3 weeks, as every…
