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…

“Heemskring”
This week I found the “Heemskring” in my postbox. The “Heemskring” is the magazine of the “Historische Kring Heemskerk” (Historical Circle Heemskerk). I am getting this magazine because I am member of this society (obviously!). Now one can wonder why someone, who is just living for a few years in Heemskerk, is member of such…
An old dilapidated house…
Just outside Heemskerk there is an old dilapidated house. Seen it many times and have even consider to go for some pictures. Somehow never got to it. Until some days ago a colleague photographer from Heemskerk told me that it might soon not reachable anymore. This because the town council was considering to sell it….
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Yesterday Marion and I have been to the cinema watching the new Transformer-movie. I have seen them all in the cinema, so I wanted to see this new one also in a cinema. Since I am living in the town of Heemskerk and I wanted to visit a cinema, I always went to the Pathé…

The house is ready to move in…
Today I saw my new house with all the walls and ceilings freshly painted… and I have to say I love it. The view at night from the balcony is awesome. I think I will be often standing there looking down. If I would smoke, I would be smoking my cigarette there. But as I…
It is going to happen…
About what I already wrote before here on my blog is going to happen. I will move away from Haaksbergen. To to get closer to my work, but also to have a place of my own again. Although I have nothing to complain about the room that I am currently renting, more then a year…
