Zen!

I'm reading a beautiful novel, "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. Under motocyclists this book is considered a classic. It reads very well, and I almost cannot stop reading it.

It's getting a little bit colder

This morning the battery of "diversion" didn't like the cold. But the battery of corolla give it a kick in the ass and then it started. Here we are in Hooge Mierde in the fog at 1 degr. cent. (not really warm, but who cares, that's where they invented "beerenburg" for)

Marion drove the 1st time on her motorcycle!

Today we finally had time for driving after many busy weeks and weekends. We drove to our friends in Castelre (about 50km) in the 3degr. cold. But we put on many clothes, so it was cold, but not too cold. In Castelre we heated up again with a hot cup of coffee and christmas cake. And then we drove home again.
If the weather is ok tomorrow we will drive again.

Almost christmas............

Nice: Fawlty Towers, with Germans in the Hotel

Christmas ball at the former Dancing School of Marion

Last Saturday we attended the Christmas ball at the former dancing school of Marion in Twente. It is not easy to see, because it was a little bit dark, but here's the competition couple showing their skills.
They were moving very fast, that's why the picture is "hazy".

Our new department

Here's a nice panorama picture of our new department. The other picture is the "view" during sunrise on the "skyline" of Eindhoven.

Oisterwijk

These are some pictures of the "Oisterwijkse Vennen".

And this is the new department

Moving....moving....moving

Our department at work is moving to another building, nice opportunity to ask myself if I really need all this stuff....................or throw many things I don't need away....

The "Loonse en Drunense Duinen" national park

The weather prediction was not good, but we decided to give our walk a try. One of my favourite national parks in Holland: "The Loonse and Drunense Duinen". There are many sand-dunes here.

Funny Chinese Sign!

And what about this one?

And this one, of course!

This is one Monty Python scene I like a lot!

Marion has her motorcycle driving license!

Marion has passed her practical exam, she is very happy. Check the movie in the link below:
