Least Favorite Places - Huisartsenpost

If I were to make a list of my least favorite places to be here in the Netherlands, it would be here.   The waiting room at our local huisartsenpost (kind of like outpatients, where you go outside of office hours, only … different).  I took this photo with my mobile while sitting there being miserable [...]

The Odd Struggle

I have been reading the book Odd Thomas for over a month.   I’ve been dying to read this book for quite a long time and when I got a gift certificate from work for the big book store in town, I went out and bought it.   I also bought the next book in the series, [...]

Karl Zwicky Owes Me a Cutting Board!

This afternoon I watched the latest episode (208 – Close Enough to Touch) of McLeod’s Daughters and it was the most tearjerkingest (that’s a word, right? :P) episode I’ve ever seen.
I won’t get into what happened because I know my mother won’t be able to stop herself from reading this, and she is a few [...]

Stick a Fork in Me

You know that saying ‘Stick a fork in me, because I’m done’?  Yeah, that was me yesterday afternoon.
We went to a BBQ at a friend’s place in Beneden Leeuwen, which is about an hours drive from here.  It was a gathering of an expat group that I belong to online.  The same one that we [...]

Website Issues

A few people have mentioned that they are having problems with my site being slow to load.   It appears there are some problems going on with my host.   I thought it might be the theme, since the problems mainly started around the same time I switched themes, but after doing some testing everything is slow, [...]
