"The bee, from her industry in the summer, eats honey all the winter" [sponsored links: Computer Programming Archive of category NLAs I reside in the Netherlands, I might as well blog some posts. Ongeveer een maand geleden, tijdens een hockeywedstrijd, heb ik een compleet verkeerde draai met mijn linkerknie gemaakt. Waarschijnlijk is mijn voorste kruisband gescheurd (geheel of gedeeltelijk, dat is nog niet duidelijk), en ik volg nu drie keer per week instense fysiotherapie, met een steeds langer wordende oefeningenlijst voor thuis. Zwaar klote, maar dit is nu even mijn realiteit. Kan wel huilen, maar ja, wat schiet ik daar mee op: niets! Dus blijven lachen! Dat lachen lukt wel. Ik heb inmiddels een nieuwe 'nickname': LeoKnieke (of Knieke, al naar gelang de vorige namen). Op zijn engels, naar aanleiding van de uitdrukking "She's one sandwich short of a picnic": I'm one ligament away from a knee. Gisteravond bij mijn ouders gegeten, en mijn moeder kan er ook wat van!
Gebruik vooral de comments als je er nog meer kan verzinnen! UPDATE en nog een paar: UPDATE 2 via collega: Leedvermaak / Cackling with Gleecategory: NL ParamariboHehehe, just got asked by a posh couple (with a very 'country' accent) the way to the Schilderswijk [NL]. They were driving a huge Audi SUV, with all the bits and bobs. The Schilderswijk is quite a different neighborhood from my own, the Archipel [NL]. Extremely different. Hard to explain how different without angering any of either borough's inhabitants. Still, quite funny to think that this couple might been guided towards the Archipel neighborhood, because its streetnames in most other dutch towns are usually part of the lesser areas in a city, instead of - as it is in the Hague - one of the poshest areas! Hi hi! *Glee*

After last night's match between Italy and The Netherlands, I am feeling orange all over again. Man, what a game! Counters left and right, good team play and a fairly pleasant interaction between the players individually. I can only refer to a great post by Merel Roze: Nabeschouwing Nederland-Italie. [poor translation by myself]

| On: 10-06-2008 07:42 Major Photo Updatecategory: Photographonics NLWhile I have been out of a 'blogging' mood, I have been having fun with my camera. From April 30 till May 5, Katrin and Jana joined me for a short vacation break in the Hague. Together we visited the center of town (of course, as it's only a short walk away), the Keukenhof, the beach at Scheveningen (bordered between the North Sea and the Hague) (try to pronounce it now, Jana!) and Park Clingendael (also situated in the Hague). You can find all the pictures on my flickr page (link). For the individual pages, go to:
I also spent Mother's Day/Pentecoste with my family at the beach, this time at Kijkduin Beach May 11, 2008. Photo Friday - Mistycategory: List'sss Photographonics NL

| On: 06-06-2007 16:22 Without a Missioncategory: NLBalkenende II is no longer. We are without a government. The house of cards has come tumbling down. Yesterday evening our Cabinet "fell down" (in good dutch). As the Cabinet does not have an official "Mission" anymore, you'd expect chaos. Well, there won't be - only the most necesary files will be handled and finished, and I get the idea that we're going to have a spectecular Summer, without any awkward noises coming down from our government. If you're Dutch, any idea who will get your vote?

| On: 30-06-2006 12:43 unwise to ask for 1 extra work-day this week? After my short break, I came back to an overtaxed department/colleagues and an overflowing mailbox (I'm getting mailbox-size-warnings daily). If only I could have an extra work-day after Friday ;) UPDATE I did manage to install ShoZu on my camera - soon to come: more camera shots in my Flickr Gallery. 1-10 (18 total) next |
