Being a Spoony
Last week we had a wonderful few days of warmth, about 19 degrees C. For me , it was almost a divine gift, I was able to be really active, working in the garden and taking care of my indoor plants. I got some energy to do so. And suddenly, the weather turned into cold temperatures, freezing nights and chilling mist. My body hardly could handle this shock. Now everything is painful, my whole body. Can't sleep, due to pain en become extremely tired and am overwhelmed by it. I got some spoons to do extra things, but the price I payed afterwards was sky-high...Two days of joy and less pain costs weeks to recover. Not funny at all. But I am used to it, so I try to go with the flow again.
Wish you a peace-and joyful day!

New Year's Eve
New Year's Eve, well, mine for that matter. . The last hour before I officially belong to the so-called old farts. Retired, therefore old. Old? Oh yes, my body and mind definitely understands that, is flabbergasted, it creaks, squeaks, protests against too much cold and wetness and idem heat.
But somewhere in the chest beats a heart that laughs: still in love with my childhood sweetheart, whom I've known for 54 years, listen to the Velvet Underground, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Melanie and Janis Joplin and all those other good artists of the 60-ies and 70-ies.
And wear hippy clothes in the colours of the rainbow, grey hair is not yet grey behaviour. Because some things in life never disappear. Never!
Tomorrow a new era begins. Love to all! See you later🥰

Waterdruppel
Ik sterf waar ik geboren ben
in oneindigheid met velen
opgestegen en weer neergedaald
de reis van en naar
alle windstreken van de wereld
in onmetelijke dieptes en hoogten
alles heb ik doorstaan
orkanen overleefd net
als windstilte, ik bleef
door watervallen
alles meesleurend in
donderend geweld
stromende door woeste
rivieren en kabbelende beekjes
ik was het zachte lentebuitje
die de bloemen vroeg
boven de grond te komen
ik was ook de druppel
die symbolisch
de emmer deed overlopen
ik was de traan uit je ogen
van binnenuit ontstaan
herinneringen opgeslagen
ik ga door steen
laat mijn sporen achter
goede noch slechte
ik ben , eenvoudig, ik ben
ik sterf waar ik ontstond
het water is mijn wieg
het vuur brengt me
op grote hoogten
de wind vervoerde me
samen met velen
via de aarde en rivieren
weer terug naar huis
groots in nederigheid

Okay, so I crochet. Have made all sorts of things over time, given a lot away. Pulled out old projects and reused the yarn for new ones. Dutchy, a bit stingy I am sometimes too. But it sounds nicer to say that I like to recycle.
Some of the things I used to make:
Just for fun, as a kind of therapy and sometimes being asked by someone.
Enjoy your day! Hugs xxx

Ik heb groene tuinen, iets te groen 😂 want ze staan nog vol met onkruid, omdat ik nog geen geld heb om ze op te knappen... 😇 Maar wil er wel grond in houden en niet alles betegelen. Ook ivm mijn oude hond, die ligt graag in het gras in de schaduw.
Maar het is altijd lekker als je eind van het fiscale jaar wat terug krijgt! Toch een leuk extraatje als beloning voor je goede gedrag. 😊 Alle kleine beetjes helpen toch een beetje, denk ik dan altijd maar.

Dutch nostalgia
People from my country, especially those from my generation ( born in the 50s) will absolutely recognize this.
Piece of Dutch nostalgia, found this on Peer Tube, a pleasant replacement of that other “tube”.

De pracht van Polygoon
Dit jaar bestaan de Polygoon bioscoopjournaals 100 jaar! Wie ons hier of op Facebook volgt, weet wat voor een leuke parels hier tussen zitten en hoe herkenbaar de stem van Philip Bloemendal is. Maar hoeveel hebben wij er eigenlijk liggen in onze depots? Wat voor onderwerpen kregen de aandacht? Tot wanneer waren ze te zien in de bioscopen? En wat maakte Philip Bloemendal tot de iconische stem? Om het honderdjarig bestaan te vieren, maakte conservator Bas Agterberg - met behulp van Robert Bloemendal - een speciale editie van het collectieverhaal!

Language
Language is fun.
And often hilarious, because of the mistakes people make with language.
Take the word WIP, for example. A wip in Dutch is both a seesaw and a very brief sexual act. But it is also an abbreviation of Work in Progress, of the latter of which I have many, crochet works.
And so there are countless words that either come out completely wrong, or are quite a laugh....
And I like cryptograms, the descriptions are often so much fun!
And I like poetry, short stories, oneliners ect... One doesn't need many words to say a lot..
Not speaking of the wrong headlines and advertising (signs)....😂
In short; I love language!

Yes, Swedish - we like watching Swedish TV series on Netflix. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences. But Dutch is much much closer. When we go to the Limburg province we sometimes believe that people there speak Kölsch, our dialect. Because the Limburg dialect is so close, and the "melody" is absolutely similar.

Let's connect
I'm still looking for more people in the fediverse who write mostly about personal stuff and only occasionally post political things. Also, I encourage you to comment more, nobody wants to talk into a void...
Here's a list of my interests: Reading (mostly fantasy and general fiction like Naomi Novik, Haruki Murakami, Stephen King), photography, taking walks, urban gardening, animals, paper crafting, Cologne, traveling, music (Marillion, Riverside, Vanessa Carlton, Toto), the Netherlands, Spain, singing in a choir, going to museums, and lots of other things.

Good idea Petra!
I also notice a lot of posting about political issues. This makes sense, because there is so much going on in the world that is disturbing and even frightening.
But here too we can try to find some kind of balance. Life is (much) more than just politics and venting feelings of powerlessness and anger....
I like to participate in showing what is still beautiful, or sweet, or nice.
Thank you for your call in this Petra!
For you this poem I wrote a few years ago, it's a haiku. It says:
Look, a flying sheep
with glee in its head
It looks like spring
Enjoy your day to the most!

I fully agree, interaction is what social media is about.
My interests are: philosophy, cycling, gardening, walking, music, Portugal, bike packing.
My music interest is very wide ranging from Bach to Kendrick Lamar. Incidentally, I used to have all the Marillion albums back in the day. That was before I got rid of my entire album collection (a move that I deeply regret now).

From Bach I especially like chromatic fantasia and fugue and, after reading Godel, Escher Bach, Musical Offering. I think the context was important to learn to appreciate it. I'll have to check out the oratoria later. I'm also more into old rock, AC/DC, Beasty Boys, Scorpions to name a few although from time to time I get a tip from our boys which I like (Imagine Dragons).
Absolutely great that you go to Toto next week. I'm not all that excited about large crowds anymore. But the experience always exceeds listening at home. Please, tell us how it was.

In the municipality where I live we also have the most goat farms in all of the Netherlands, More than thirty different bacteria were found in the stable air of goat farms that can cause pneumonia in humans. Of these bacteria, 23 were also found in patients, residents, goat farmers and/or in the outdoor air around goat farms.
The closest one is less than 1,500 meters from our house.
Literally a sickening development.

It is time again to put out the flowers. The advertisements from garden centers for a beautiful flower-filled garden or balcony are already flying around your ears, because spring is on its way and that means lovely gardening. Racks of seeds for flowers, vegetables and herbs are already waiting for the eager gardener and the pre-grown primroses are already fragrant and colorful on the shelves inside and outside the centers. Wonderful right? Or......
No. Because just about the vast majority of all that prettiness is deadly. For the bees, bumblebees, butterflies and all the other insects that depend on them. And therefore also for the animals that depend on the insects, birds and all other insectivores. Because they too die. Because of the poison used in the plant/seed industry...So my urgent question: please buy organic seeds and plants.....Because many garden centers often carry some of them as well, but you have to specifically look for them. I will start making a list of (online) stores that sell them. Thanks a lot for reading!
