Another angel

Today the weather was perfect for walking off some Christmas stress. The sun was shining and it was freezing. Alongside the river I was accompanied by this beautiful creature.

Merry Christmas

Picked up some flowers on the way. And a stork

Oh my God - It's raining umbrella's!!

In remembrance of those who fell in the Battle of Trying to Keep the Hair Dry - Grote Markt Haarlem, March 10th 2008.

Nightmare

It was like what you hear about suicides. An intern struggle between the mind and the body. I tried to stay calm and think of other things, tried to caress my thoughts, but every veil in my body knew that at the same time outside the most horrible and frightening series of events I could think of were actually taking place. The body started to shake and tremble, and it was not much later that the limbs were making uncontrollable movements. My head shook as to say “No”. It was obvious that my body screamed it wanted to get out of here, away from this terrifying situation. It panicked. The mind knew there was no escaping, and there was nothing else to do than to just wait and see what would happen next, and suffer.

Seasonal confusion

The Christmas tree on my balcony refuses to die. And he is only standing on his wooden cross. Meanwhile indoors the lobbed branches of a willow-tree that I put in a vase about two weeks ago are sprouting as if it was already Springtime.

Birth of a new blog

It’s been over a month now that I updated. I know that and I am very sorry. But I can explain.
We from Richard's Corner have been very busy to improve our product and we are very proud to anounce that we can show you the first results today.
As you may know we have done a big survey a few months ago to find out more about your needs as a reader of this blog. It has been a tough job to process the increadable amount of data that we got out of this survey. The only way to do that was the way that would do right to the one’s that were so kind to help us find out what is needed to make this fine product an even better one. And we did.

And I think we got it. We are opening a new blog. In Dutch. It will be revealed any minute now.

But before we do I must point out that this will NOT mean the end of Richard’s Corner. This blog WILL be here for you as you know it.

Okay, are we ready guys…? Yes? 1, 2, 3….! A new blog has just been born!!!

Berlin

Like I said, I was in Berlin with friends. And I had a wonderful time. Berlin breakfasts are the best! And we even had snow.
