What did I tell ye…

This is the result of the snorking lessons.

The other weekend I was in the mountains with my family. Obviously there are no mountains in the Netherlands, it’s all in the name, so this was abroad… Belgium.

Beautiful scenery and a lovely weekend where my mother and I leaurned my nieces snorkling in the (cold) swimmingpool. They are fast learners and enjoyed it very much.

We sat on the porch, looking at the rain or enjoying the sunshine.

A concert of Alessandro Safina in Scheveningen last weekend. And we were there with friends at the balcony of the Kurhaus

What a lovely evening we had.

At top of it all the sunset was awesome.

There was only one thing, he sang a little slow, so we did it for him.

I read in the newspaper that this program is being broadcast again. So I looked at the website to see when my house would be on TV…

Not.

Only old episodes this time ;-(
Maybe at the end of this year.

They were fabulously grafical.

For me Delft is the city I grew up. This street theatre festival I helped organise in the starting years is called Mooi Weer Spelen. So I loved being there again. It was very lovely this past weekend, with the sun shining and all…

Last weekend I was with my georgeous nieces. You know them from pictures below.

They made me a gift. A key ring. But not just a key ring, no… one with a meaning.
You see at the picture the paperclips with the beads? This is the meaning of the colours:

Red: love, power, fire
Blue: trustworthy, cool, water
Green: ease, nature
Cherries: eat more fruit

Great huh, when you just know these things when you are 11 and 7 years old.

One of our Dutch cartoonists draws these days nothing without adding this icon. It is a warning. People with a skin or opinion may be hurt….

This due to the really excessively, I almost would say, attack of Nekschot. Who, by the way, draws really awful cartoons.

I find this reaction of Oppenheimer briliant and funny.

This was very exact work.
They managed every millimeter of it. You have to be really skilled for this work.

27th of April. And what a lovely day we had.

Hope to see them soon.
