Well, shoot me then!

Darn, I haven’t done a damn thing all day. At least not any of the things that come under the heading of ‘household chores’. Everything is exactly as it was this morning when I got up, not one speck of dirt and not one dirty dish has been moved. Not that I have that many [...]

Eliza at the Hotel 2, 3 and 4.

It’s fairly early in the morning and I haven’t quite had enough sleep yet, but I am up nevertheless. I am working on my second cup of coffee and I am waiting for it to do its magic, so I will truly wake up. We went to bed rather late last night and I thought [...]

Old Pisa Door Mandalas 1, 2 and 3

With the generous help of Rima, I was able to transform my blog into something more personal. I picked the Minima template from Blogger and then added a picture of a mandala to the header. Rima explained to me how to do this. So you see how even a person as inexperienced as I can [...]

The Queen and Politics.

Well, here I am sitting with my nose plugged up again. For someone who is not supposed to have any allergies any more, it sure happens on a regular basis, which makes me doubt the allergy test. Or maybe I had something to eat that I am allergic to, because yesterday my head was itching [...]

A Quick Post

Well, guess what? It turns out that I don’t have any allergies to the dog or the cats or to dust mites at all. None whatsoever! Whatever showed up positive in the test twenty years ago, didn’t show up this time at all, all came back negative. I am relieved about this, of course, because [...]

Man digitally messing around with photographs sure is addicting! I try to get some house work done around here, but all day long I wanted to sit down behind [...]

Sometimes in April

Yesterday morning, I watched an incredible movie called Sometimes in April. It is a long time ago since I have been that moved by a film and I was absolutely spellbound. It was about the genocide of the Hutus on the Tutsis in April of 1994. I don’t know what to say about it, except [...]

Blogs and lists.

I fixed the list of blogs that I had listed to the left of my posts. It turned out that I had entered the information wrong in the template under add to blog in the link list. Figured out how to do that right and added some blogs to the list. Slowly by slowly I [...]

Allergies.

After I posted yesterday, I sat around feeling pretty lousy for a while because of my allergies. I took care of my sore throat by taking paracetamol and my runny nose by carrying around paper tissues in my back pocket. I slathered ointment on my sore and itching ear and that was about all I [...]

Museums.

While looking up the Van Gogh paintings at the Van Gogh museum, I also ended up at the website of the Kröller-Müller Museum on the Veluwe in the Netherlands, which has a very good collection of Van Gogh paintings, some of which I like better than the ones at the Van Gogh Museum. One thing [...]
