Margie: “Ik wordt juist gelukkig van kleine dingen. Bijvoorbeeld een hommel”.
Een memorabel moment op ons dakterras, waar een wilde klaver zich heeft gevestigd in de pot van een andere plant.
(Margie: “Especially small things make me happy. A bumble-bee for example”.)
Margie and I went for a walk in the evening sun. We had a mission: try out my new SLR camera. I’m very pleased with the resulting photography. And how I love Flickr! My PC is still busy uploading… we took 300 pictures of which about a hundred passed our judgment.
What do you think?
Other shots of the day:
Dave at his little shop, around 13:00h
My colleague Danielle during lunch break, around 12:30h
And I’m happy with it. Went to a nearby park yesterday with Kessie.

Okay, I’m almost back. After a few months of too much work and no play, combined with no sporting (painful knee), the revival of a nasty habit (smoking) and hardly any motivation to cook a healthy meal, I seem to have refound a balance.
Two weeks ago I stopped smoking and stopped working long hours. I even took some days off. Today I will be running the 10km CPC in The Hague. As a preparation I have been on a high-protein diet and trained regularly. With results:
Oh I have to leave. The run starts in 2 hours, wish me luck!
I just love this song originally by the Pixies. Especially this version, since I also love Placebo.
On Youtube I collect decent versions in a special playlist. In case you’re interested.

If you’re interested in the Dutch language, please visit my new blog DailyDutch. There I will daily post a short audio or video clip about Holland and the Dutch language.
Please let me know what you think.
Just a note to let you know I will be staying in Montpellier for three weeks to improve my French language skills. The weather is fine, life is good!
If you’re interested, have a look at some photos I took today.
Yesterday, Margie and I went for a walk in the woods near my work. These incredible pictures are the result.
