"De tijd van gratis bier moet nu voorbij zijn" www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Bus travel is not for the faint-hearted. One overcrowded bus and missed connection, bad wifi, no toilets and cancelled bus so I have to call in the help line 🚗 - but it was quite fun!

Okay, black cats are notoriously to photograph, but I’m learning

Gewortelde kinderen die worden uitgezet. Hopelijk gaat dit stoppen. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

And yes, food too, although there is still some stuff to sow - mostly beans, potatoes and berries and apples

Garden explosion - new colours every week. From wisteria to roses, weigela, veronicas, geraniums and poppies

This why we were there at the demo today. Red lines are crossed on an hourly basis. #RodeLijn #RedLine

Uitgehongerd, in de val gelokt, doodgeschoten. Dit is lager dan laag en precies waar alle hulporganisaties voor waarschuwden. Dit is de zoveelste #rodelijn die overschreden wordt. Stilte en niet ingrijpen = medeplichtigheid.

Finished my shawl, so knitting mojo regained. And although I have 3 sock projects on the needjes, of course I am casting on a new project, because I need a summer top - gauge knitting first to be smart 🫣

Made it to the LC site #RodeLijn lc.nl/friesland/LI...

Give peace a chance…. #RodeLijn

Newspaper drama this morning

First time that I had to walk out on an interpreting client. I was booked for 30 mins and we were not even into the second round of court an hour later…. I had another booking in another city… “Luckily” this was expected by the victim’s lawyer, and she would take over. But: damn, not a nice feeling.

@sccambuur.bsky.social Ik neem aan dat jullie ook de beelden van vanavond even terugspoelen tot net vóór het fluitsignaal en die meneer in de tribune die dat "Romeinse handgebaar" deed nog even aanspreken? Maar: succes!

Annual overview of activities, newsletter, updated members lists, a new flyer, documents for the AGM - the TADAAA list is becoming longer by the minute 💪

There is a world of frustration between these two. After a few days of wear, the 34 is way too loose, but the new 32 is still impossible to get into (or at least button up). But it works well as a motivator.

Best kitchen curtains ever

The garden smells like perfume. Add freshly mown grass from the field next to us and a few bleating lambs and tchirping birds. Sniff, read a bit, repeat.

Hello little holly blue! Aren’t you pretty! #gardenjoy

Glorious

When the Leeuwinnen come and play at your local stadium, and you've still got an international football game on your bucket list , of course you get tickets! So, #nedfin, here we come!

Used to do this quite a lot. Got a new set of needles for my birthday, and they need a good test drive. Guess the pattern!

When the situation in the world is infuriating, and you have a garden that takes your breath away regardless. A haven of peace among it all that lots of people do not have.

Why does April not have 31 days? It should. #VATReturns for Q1 are done and paid now. On time. On April 31st :-)

Dienstmededeling 🙂 Mijn nieuwe boek Van vogala tot noncha kun je al reserveren bij de bekende online boekhandels. Gesigneerd exemplaar? Twee opties: breng het mee naar de boekvoorstelling op 12 juni in Leuven (later meer info) of bestel het bij mij: taalwebwinkel.taalverhalen.be/product/van-...

The bouquet-from-the-garden has started

And this ⬇️ It is amazing how much later our wisteria is starting to bloom, but it will be an amazing vision this year after a paltry three blooms last year

After a late deadline night, getting up early was a chore, but this ⬇️ Is there a Wonky here? Also: time to fix our fence today lol
