I’m starting to doubt myself. I was completely wrong in my judgment. I always thought I had a good understanding of the human psyche, but now … In some situations, such as with the last campers, I was completely wrong I do what everyone else does: when you meet someone for the first time, you …
Be honest: any idea what this is? No? Years ago I didn’t know either, but when I came to one of our regular building materials dealers, he told me – not at all commercially responsible – that instead of a new faucet, I could also do new castles. That’s what those things are called in …
I sent some castles via the CTT to my brother in the Netherlands … Read More »
At 3 o’clock it was going to rain. Said the portuguese weatherchannel. It is now half past five, by the way, for those who want to know, time certainly doesn’t stand still, and it is still not raining. We call that “portuguese rain” “It’s okay, isn’t it?” we say, a little bit triumphant, because okay, …

Unfortunately, we forgot completely to make pictures. Talking about images … clever! But we’ll provide you with an impression, don’t worry! It all began with a …
Rapunzel was locked in a tower. And since that was a long, long time ago, and very far from here, it must not have been such a terribly high tower. As long as a princess could be locked up in it – all good. We have recorded that – of course – in mosaic, in …
Or perhaps the Municipality of Soure was the generous giver. Or maybe a little bit of both. We went there, to the open air concert of the National Youth Orchestra Always exciting to see passionate musicians! Nice of the Municipality of Soure to organize something like this. They do things like this sometimes. Soure is …
Broes had already reported it: “A spanish couple has arrived who want to camp. I have already shown them everything.” I have just come from above, where I finished an order for a kimono in the sewing atelier (nice word for a large room with a lot of tables full of pieces of fabric and …
“Hey, stick! Keep your sticks to yourself! …oh … well, your jaws to yourself! You eat all the green leaves, but you leave the sticks. So weird. I get it… a walking stick eating sticks – that’s a kind of cannibalism…” Everyone likes sticky insects – walking sticks Me too, but I think it would …
