Is that a human?
We took advantage of the last bit of nice weather and went for a bicycle trip. First we headed West, towards Steensel and then we turned North, past Knegsel and Oerle. We came back home around the North side of Veldhoven and along the canal. About 21 miles I think! The North side of Veldhoven [...]
Missed a deadline…
Oh dear, I won’t make it! I promised a demonstration by the end of May, but… Couldn’t find the time. I’m sorry… You will have to admit, my weather forecast was right, though!
A turbulent Tuesday
Today (Tuesday) was once again totally devoted to gender disphoria. Not only did I have an appointment with the psychologist from the VU in Amsterdam, but I also wanted to attend a support group meeting for transsexuals at Humanitas in Rotterdam. A hefty timetable! And there were also extra hurdles to overcome. It started on [...]
Sandwiches and Weblogs
The water-butt is upright again! Instead of the old, rickety garden tile I used last time (causing a disaster), I used two brand new tiles and sandwiched those together. This should be able to hold it? I got a reaction to my weblog. So I didn’t hand out notes with my URL for nothing. My [...]

A stupid idea
There is a (Dutch language) discussion going on at Jan Marijnissen’s weblog about a two party system and a district system for voting. Apparently somebody proposed that… I am against a district system. I am so glad we don’t have that in Holland. A stupid idea to want to imitate other countries, that have a [...]
Remembrance day
On my birthday the flags are out all over the country every year. But the flags are flying at half-mast! The 4th. of May is the day we commemorate the people who died in WO II. A funny feeling on your birthday. And it is the same every year. On my birthday I tend to [...]
Birthday

Picture
This morning I discovered a nice picture of myself on the Internet via Paula’s website. That’s me in my jeans jacket. With an ample supply of wine and cigarets within my reach This picture was made during the shooting of the program “Kamphues maakt vrienden” (“Kamphues meets new friends”). In the TV program there is [...]
