moments as a home for my photos
Moments Recently I found moments , a simple and clean website where you can host your photos as a photo journal. And I absolutely love it, it’s like bearblog but for photos. So I made setup a moments page for myself and uploaded all the birds (and some other animal) photo’s I’ve been taking for the past weeks/months. I don’t think all of these photos are stunning or really good, but I like having…
things I love
the smell of freshly ground coffee the sun light filtered through the leaves (komorebi) the songs of birds cycling through a forest kimchi my daughter picking fresh tomatoes in the greenhouse writing with a fountain pen chance encounters with strangers beautiful tiles e-paper displays trees wood fire the smell of sesame oil making pizza the feeling you get from wearing good clothes jazz
volgens mij houden boeren helemaal niet van het land
Als je echt van het land houdt dat jij in beheer hebt, waar je vee op graast en gewassen op verbouwt, dan zou je er wel wat beter voor zorgen. Als je echt van de streek houdt waar je woont, en van de geschiedenis die er aan vooraf is gegaan, dan ga je daar wat zuiniger mee om. Als je je bedrijf wilt overdragen aan de volgende generatie, en als je trots bent om boer te zijn, dan doe je dat toch…

Loving this new Jazz album I discovered
I have recently rediscovered The Bill Charlap Trio and currently am particularly loving the Notes From New York album. If you like jazz have a listen, and please don't do anything else at the same time. Just sit, and listen. It'll bring you so much peace of mind and relaxation. Incredible!
we are well on our way to full blown Elysium
Yesterday Evening I watched Elysium . A 2013 film directed by Neill Blomkamp about a dystopian future where an overpopulated Earth is inhabited by poor, sick and overworked people. That lack access to proper hygiene, water, food and medical care. While the rich live in space on a rotating space-station (Elysium) where everything is seemingly perfect. Green grass, trees, big villa’s, and every…
no purpose
More and more I realise that my lack of purpose, a real purpose in life is what’s really bothering me, and leading to a whole host of adverse behaviours and emotions. Like feeling lost, useless and depression. Due to the nature of my chronic illness I don’t have a job. So come monday morning, when the grumpy kid has been delivered at school and my spous is off to her job, I am left alone in the…
winter
Een deken van sneeuw brengt een stille buitenwereld, licht en kinderplezier. Terwijl de houtkachel de hele dag brandt met warmte zoals alleen hout dat kan. Winter, echte winter.
