Today I got a wonderful perfume from Rob as gift, but there is a little story to it. Begin this week, Rob was travelling home from his work. The train he was travelling with was over a hour delayed. Rob was feeling cold and hungry.But instead of losing his good mood, he found something that…
Sanctuary of Mesa (or Messon)
During our holiday to Lesvos this year we saw many beautiful things, but there was one location that made a deep impression on all of us: The Sanctuary of Mesa (or The Sanctuary of Messon, as it is also referred to). Specially for Rob visiting Mesa/Messon was very high on his wish list. His interest…
“Wish you were here” – Pink Floyd
Yesterday evening we had a very nice get together with some of my direct colleagues. I had with my colleague Tridip a very nice talk about music. What kind of music we like, concerts we have been to. Turns out he has a very good taste of music! There was a request for a…
About memories and a very good mood
Ever walked into the house and your partner starts to sing for you? Well, that happened to me this morning . I returned from a short visit to Patricia, when I walked into the living room Rob started to sing with a big smile on his face… “If you were the only girl in the…
As every year, new tea!
Autumn is here again and for me that means it is time to buy fresh tea again. I always try to get a nice mixture of white tea, green tea and black tea. Of course some teas that aren’t really teas (real tea is made of the leaves of the tea-plant, Camellia sinensis). For me…

Issue with WP Google Maps
Yesterday Marissa called me to tell me that she had problems with adding new locations to the map we have have for “Cafés & Dinners”. I just had a look at it and she is right. It is not possible at the moment to add new locations. The problem is caused by changes Google did…
Sea Bass for dinner
In Plomari, a city on the isle of Lesvos, there is a sea food restaurant called “The Seven Seas”. During our stay at Plomari we visited that restaurant 3 times. Yes, 3 times! The fish was just wonderful there. Twice I had a wonderful grilled sea bass there. So once back in The Netherlands I…
Astronomy: When on Lesvos…
I have a very healthy interest in astronomy. I love to read about the planets, the stars, the galaxies, super nova’s, black holes and the universe. It feeds my imagination and triggers my will to learn new things. And the more I learn about this the more I realize we know nothing yet. But when…
The small wonders of Lesvos
That Lesvos is an island that has so many faces to show may be known by now. I mean from the olive and pine trees to the emptiness of the west. It is so nice that you can wander around, make a turn and see something completely unexpected. And that is what happened today again….
