About
I like the new ‘backstage’ look of wordpress! I really do! It’s neat and compact and gives you a nice overview and reduces frantic back-and-forth clicking of tabs etc to a major extent. A+ for the designers and crew! What I also notice now is that my ‘About’ page gets the most clicks [...]

www.thebigask.be - Act the f*ck now!
Nic Balthazar, one of Belgium’s leading film makers, has made a clip to draw the attention to the need of having a proper law concerning emmissions in Europe. Now it’s up to us to badger the politicians until they do something about it. The site, www.thebigask.be tells you all about it (in dutch) [...]

Advent
It’s December already! How time flies when you’re having fun - or not even. I thought of putting up an advent calendar, with something to come back to every day, mostly for myself. Ha! Yesterday zoomed by and I didn’t even make the starting line. Tsss… So I need [...]

RIP Wannes
Two great musicians have left the building… Wannes van de Velde here in Belgium/Flanders/Antwerp and Miriam Makeba of South-Africa. Let’s hope their legacy lives on. Today we’re also remembering the end of the Great War. Worldwide there are still/only 7 (seven) warriors of that war surviving. But even when they’re finally gone, [...]

not yet 8 in the morning and I’m listening to Iron Maiden
Trying to decide what music to have for my Birthday Bash on the 26th (birthday is on the 25th, but we want to make sure we actually make the day ;)) and I think I’ve decided on the intro: Iron Maiden’s the Number of the Beast. My kids are going so not approve of my [...]

Birthday present for a 7y old
Birthday present for a 7y old Originally uploaded by Reinhilde. Eldest girl of the neighbours across has her 7th birthday today - what better stuff to give than lipgloss, body glitter, hair ties, a necklace and sweets and all that in a crackly, red, shiny paper? Problem is, her (almost) 3 year old sister wanted it all [...]

I knew it…
I shouldn’t have complained about the hot weather yesterday Today I woke up with thunder and lightning and the roof being pelted with rain as if a thousand mice were dancing a tarantella on it. Having a modern house with high sloping ceilings is nice, but a pain when trying to sleep [...]
