This morning I found out that today is National Tattoo Removal Day. For me it is hard yo imagine you want to get rid of a tattoo. But on the other hand there a a lot of tattoo’s around where the artist just failed, or someone decided a tattoo under influence or in a mental …
Last night we watched the latest Tom Hanks movie A man called Otto on Netflix. A story about an older very grumpy man. Yes, in some ways I do recognize a bit of myself. Once again some great acting by Tom Hanks, an actor who hardly disappoints.\ So in how many great movies did this …
This week Radio 10 is broadcasting the 80s Top 1500. Feels a bit like again. I could be wrong, but in my opinion they did it earlier this year. But who is complaining? Not me. There are a lot of great songs on the radio again. Blogging wise there are not many years of the …
Has it ever happened to you? You hear a great song somewhere, and out of the blue someone says I’ve got that on vinyl. Pretty annoying, or not? Sorry, I am one of those people. My record collection is not that big, but I am pretty proud of it. Especially for my Orb collection I …
From one legendary British rock band to another. Yesterday I shared my favorite songs by Queen. Today I found out that it is Duran Duran appreciation day. I have to admit it is the first time I found out about an appreciation day for a band. But I also admit these guys well deserved it. …

Wel well well, time is flying again. I am still busy doing laundry and cleaning after our stay in France. Bought some groceries etc, and the day is almost passed. But I’m forgetting one thing. During the last couple of weeks in France, I went for a swim each morning as soon as I was …
Sorry folks, dutch only today. Tsja, wat doe ik dan zoal op de camping? Wel, bijzonder weinig. Het huishouden, wandelen, beetje ouwehoeren her en der, zwemmen en af en toe een uitstapje gebeurt er niet heel veel. Op 1 ding na, lezen. Soms lees ik maanden geen boek, dan weer heel veel.
