Dutch Team Defeated

The Dutch Team were sent home yesterday by Portugal.
They didn't win one match in the UEFA Cup 2012.
Friend A and I (both dressed in orange) watched the game at his place.

Summer Evening

In a couple of days it will be officially Summer! When I walked home last night through the city I came across these trees. A fairy tale atmosphere while the sun was slowly setting.

Boat Trip

We had a boat trip from work today. The journey went through the canals of Groningen. The weather was sunny and a little bit cold. Afterwards we had a pubquiz and a buffet. It was a nice day out.

Dutch Supporters

My colleagues are already preparing for the football game tonight between Holland and Germany. Wearing orange clothes will surely help the Dutch team on their way to win the European Championship. In 4 to 5 hours from now we will know if they've succeeded.

Model J.

As promised: here is a beautiful photograph of my niece J who was modelling for me on Sunday. I think she is very talented.

Paying a Visit

Me and niece M

Niece L

Doggy Reggie

I finally got to meet little niece M on Sunday. 
Also I played with niece L and doggy Reggie.
Tomorrow I will post some photographs from the modelshoot with niece J that were taken on Sunday.

Family Day

                                  

On Saturday I had a family day with members of my mother's family. The oldest person present was my dad (91) and the youngest person was Amarens (6 months).
We see eachother once in 2-3 years, talking, eating together and saturday evening even watching football together. The Netherlands against Denmark resulted in a 0 to 1 score, so that was a little dissapointing.

Planning a New Modelshoot!

Modelshoot in May

I am busy planning a new modelshoot like the one in May. So, there will be maybe five models and five photographers shooting together.
The shoot will possibly take place in July.

Rain

It is raining a lot this week!
It's a bit boring.

About Books

              



This year I've started reading books again. 
I stopped for a while because I was easily bored with reading.
Now I found new inspiration in reading the books of Brazilian writer Paolo Coelho.
I have read half of his total work this year and hoping to read the other half in the next months.

More Blonde

Today the hairdresser dyed my hair more blonde.
No picture available yet.

Someone Else's Birthday Party

I traveled to Friesland today to visit my brother's birthday party. 
He is 5 years younger than me.
My niece J and I played 'Just Dance'. 
The weather was cold and rainy.

First Rose

Yellow Rose

The first yellow rose of the year is in bloom today! Normally it blooms exactly on the day of my birthday. This year however it's a little later, maybe because it has been a colder spring than normal.

Now Online

One More Birthday Present

A Big Heart

I started working again today after 10 days of spring holiday!
From my colleague T I received one more birthday present! 
A Big Heart!
A symbol that we both like! 
It's now hanging in my garden.

Hippie Era

The Book I'm Reading

I'm reading a lovely book about the hippie era in the USA in the period 1965 - 1975. The hippie philosophy that is described and investigated in this book is still appropriate for life as we know it today. While we are on our way into 'the Age of Aquarius' and 'Ascension' we could learn a lot from this hippie philosophy. The book is written by Philip Lievens in 1979 and I bought it in a second hand shop.

Music Overdose

Anouk at Pinkpop

Although I already had an overdose of music this past weekend I missed one artist: Dutch singer Anouk's performance was not broadcasted on TV. 

Here's a track from youtube to make the Pinkpop weekend complete....

Anouk with Down and Dirty.
