Of course, everyone wants to win a big prize in a lottery. I think for many that is the main reason to play a lottery. If the money that people pay to be part of a lottery is used for charity, culture or use it where people are in need of help, it already another…

Okay, so why Plomari?
Anyone ever wondered why Rob made the decision to go the town of Plomari this year? Yes, Rob made the decision for the whole group. They just wanted to go back to Lesvos and where on Lesvos was less important (the Lesvos-virus is so contagious). Yes yes Marissa, I know that you had the demand…
New reading material: Dan Brown’s “Origin”
Today a book that I ordered arrived, “Origin” written by Dan Brown. The Dutch title is “Oorsprong”. Dan Brown belongs to the select group of writers that I really love to read. As many others his book “The Da Vince Code” was my first contact with his work. “The Da Vince Code”, the fourth book…
Utrecht… and a surprise
Marion suggested some weeks ago to go sometime to the city of Utrecht again. Utrecht is a beautiful city to have a good walk, visit some shops and enjoy some good food. I found this a very good idea and so we planned already a few weeks ago to go there today. As we do…
And so our weblog became a little more safe!
There was something that I planned already for a long time to do, move the weblog from http to HTTPS/SSL. HyperText Transfer Protocol, that is where HTTP stand for and it is the protocol that is used by a browser (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer/Edge) to communicate with a web server. So basically this makes it…

As regular visitors of our weblog will know, there is an overview of restaurants of which consider they are good to exceptional (you can find that overview of Cafe’s and Dinners here. As Marion and Rob go often out for dinner during their weekends together, I guess you can say it so kind of hobby…
The Holiday Cup of Starbucks
Yesterday I was at the Central Station of Utrecht. There we decided to get some coffee at one of the Starbucks there. Every year Stabucks has a specially designed cup for the Holidays Season. So they have this year, a colourful and bright design I would say. I really like it, but again is not…
10 Years “dimrost.nl”
It almost slipped by without noticing it. By coincidence, I just saw it today: Our weblog on “dimrost.nl” was in October 10 years old! On 26 October 2007 the first article on this weblog was posted. And now we are more as 10 years further. I remember well how at first the weblog was titled…
A longing for Lesvos…
(Click on the image to zoom in) Rain, cold wind, temperatures that start to call to turn on the heating, all signs autumn is really arrived. And that is how it is here now: Wet, cold and wind. I was standing in front of a window looking outside, Marissa and Marion behind me sitting on…
“Suske & Wiske, Het Monamysterie”
Just as Rob I am a big fan of the comic series Suske & Wiske (or “Spyke & Suzy” as they are called in Britain or “Willy & Wanda” in the US), but unlike Rob I don’t collect the albums. So every time I see a new released album, I warn Rob not to buy…
