[!NOTE](As I minimise screen time during my holidays, I must admit I still scanned my RSS feed every couple of days — only the favourites tab — and saved anything interesting on Instapaper to read on my Kobo; with the intention of writing a blog post, here's one of those.) zero point one Joel points out how vast...

This is my entry for the IndieWeb Carnival of August 2026, hosted by Chris . I wanted to try a different angel, and I also wrote this originally on paper. I could write on the purpose of life, as we call it. But I believe in a purposeless life. To each their own. To each a song. To each a book. To each a heartbreak....

[!NOTE](This post was handwritten on Monday 10th of august and corresponds to week 32 but to reasons mentioned bellow, posted today.) Officially on holidays for about a week now. It was a fun week at the holiday park. And while my aim with my blog restrict the informality of this post — the practice of soft prose —...

I am officially on vacations. Vacations will last until the day before my birthday — three weeks. On my birthday I go back to work. I look forward to going next week to our vakantiepark, letting children roam free. We go to the same one as last year because it fits our needs. This week’s reflection will be short as...

I am considering going deep into the subject of the Reading Act. Starting with history. So I am brainstorming how to go about this and do a sort of self-study syllabus. It would be nice to know if there are courses out there. I only find courses on Literature itself, but not on the act of Reading and holistic...

Let's begin this week's reflection with the highlight. Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Roller-skates Finally got Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Rollerskates! I also wrote a post about roller-skating. I am looking forward to Wednesday, given that the weather remains gentle. Japanese Progress Although my motivation...

After 2 years of pondering to get new skates, I finally got urban skating roller-skates! Not that I could not buy them. My old skates are still in good shape. However, they were meant as temporary. Rightfully so. A test run. As usual, I took my time to decide on an upgrade. After my last pregnancy, my feet gained...

RollerskatingWent rollerskating again. Doubled my time from the first round on my new skates. Fell down gracefully. Loved every second. Sunday I hopefully do an hour or 7km. Ready for Wednesday's Rollerdam! #rollerskating #rollerdamThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.

Perception of color, a fascinating idea — evident by last year’s IndieWeb blog carnival theme I hosted. This fascination is seeded by personal need to understand my own perception. I am often questioned about color choice in my art. Most consider them artistic choice. While I do oversaturate the hues, I actually see...

Re: The most American thing about me is the coffee I told him I think of coffee the same way I think of beer. Is it the best tasting? No. Can it be bitter? Yes. But it's weak enough that you can drink several cups of them and get a nice buzz without overdoing it. I would never, for example, drink 5 shots of vodka,...
