Weight loss

I’ve been having the flu for almost a week, and it certainly helps when loosing weight. It took almost 2 kilo of my current weight and seems to have put a big dent in my appetite, which actually was something I needed anyways.
So currently I’ve put the amount of dinner I use almost in half [...]

Another sunday walk

Today I walked with Cindy my wife as the weather was really gorgeous as there was no wind and the sky was blue with hardly any clouds. It should be somewhat alarming of course because if this weather keeps up, it’s just to warm. I’ve seen birds already preparing their nests, which they normally tend [...]

Having a rabbit

Is one of those things I wouldn’t want to miss. I’ve grown up with dogs, goats, rabbits, ducks and some other animals and when you’ve grown up with animals, it’s kinda hard not to have some of them around you, but unfortunately it’s not really feasible to have a dog, so we’ve settled at having [...]

Saturdays

Saturdays are always a resting point in the week, even more than Sundays, I guess we’ve rolled into some kind of rhythm which makes virtually every Saturday the same during day time unless of course we’ve got some planned visits etc.
It starts with getting up, I’ll head for the grocery, butcher and bakery and do [...]

Stormy weather

Today is such a day that the weather is somewhat stormy, we don’t get it that often in the Netherlands and in most cases the only impact it has is that the traffic jams are longer than normal. But since I’m living in an older house, this also means either that we have to fire [...]

Loosing weight

I’ve been postponing this for way to long as came apparent during last weeks ski trip. I’ve grown to much weight. After Christmas I was just over 100kg. Which in my opinion is just to much.  In the Netherlands we’ve got something called the Sonja Bakker diet, which my wife ones tried. Problem with this [...]

Skiing in Italy

Last week we’ve been skiing in northern Italy for a few days. It’s been the third time that we’ve gone to Santa Christina in Val Gardena and I guess this one is a keeper. It’s a relatively small village, no high rises and it’s a village where still a lot of farmers live. That ensures [...]

Tarzan

When I walked into the living room this morning, something I’ve always dreaded became reality. Our pet rabbit Tarzan lay in the living room without any life signs. Cindy and I knew this was coming as he was very sick and almost 8 years old.
For us, Tarzan was definitely a member of our family. He [...]

Going to the Gentse feesten

This weekend some friends and us will visit the Gentse Feesten. I’ve got no clue what they’ll be about, put I will publish some photo’s on my flickr account (assuming I won’t forget to make pictures). It will be a good test for my mobile phone especially with regards to it’s battery life). Currently the [...]

Almost easter

well, it’s almost easter again, from one of her customers my wife received an adoption chicken… Well, it’s not a real chicken you get though. You get a certificate, a website and once a month you can fetch a box of eggs at a nature store. The funny thing is that these chicken don’t live [...]
