I'm feeling very pleased with myself. I have just repaired my utility knife, which has seen a lot of use recently opening boxes. The blade had gotten stuck in the barely open position, so I found my screwdriver and opened up the casing and got the blade unstuck! And got my fingers all nice and oily-greasy in the process. Fun! And a pleasing sense of achievement.
We'll happily drive a few hours for them, they're a good way to experience a (to us) new town or rediscover an old one. Did Deventer, Amersfoort, Gouda, Rotterdam/Delfshaven, The Hague, Utrecht, Den Bosch, Arnhem, Leiden and a bunch of others with them. Guess it helps if you live smack dab in the middle of the Netherlands, everything's pretty much an hour, two at most away. If we can combine it with a cat café, even better.I've just looked them up and it sounds very good! Too bad none of them are kind of close to me, except Groningen, which is still an hour by car. I'll keep them in mind though!
Is this your new home? If so, what a wonderful view! But what's the thing eating the cat?
Or is it a 3D cat printer almost finished printing one?
You'd love to visit Landgoed Hoenderdaell! It's a smallish zoo/animal park with lots of trees and stuff and always enough space between visitors. It's also home to Stichting Leeuw, which rehabilitates lions and tigers.I just booked tickets for Ouwehands at the end of next month... A friend went there and sent me a bunch of pictures of how they're tackling things and that inspired enough confidence to get a ticket.
Now the rules give us some more room we're allowed to do outdoor group sport things again, provided we keep social distance. Two police officers on horses decided to join in on a salsa lesson. This video will make you happy, if it works outside the NetherlandsFor me Groningen would be worth the hour's drive just to see the lovely horses.

We go once a year to Hoenderdaell, to visit with "our" adopted mountain lion, Vincent! So yeah, we would indeed love it, haha. Isn't he handsome? We did the tiger workshop once which was amazing (and through groupon, quite affordable). There's a lot of zoo's we visit because, you know, animals are a lot easier for me than people are... And they're wonderful photography subjects.You'd love to visit Landgoed Hoenderdaell! It's a smallish zoo/animal park with lots of trees and stuff and always enough space between visitors.

I'm having to alter the fence around the goat pen. This is what I woke up to this morning

Amazing, you've adopted a mountain lion! He's very handsome! <googles 'tiger workshop'>."our" adopted mountain lion, Vincent!
Did a complete overhaul of the bathroom (complete enough to have a spade with a roll of tp at the ready for months, never knowing if the toilet would be in it's usual place or in the hallway or garden, and it's the only toilet in the house) a couple of years ago, and I found the floor tiles very cheap at a local bouwbedrijf because they were so 'used'You have amazing floor tiling!
This is so funny! It's one of those folding chairs that has just 'always been there' in my fathers house and I never spent a thought on it in my life, I think. I don't even know why it's in the middle of my bathroom. Now I think on it it must have been there for at least 3 weeksI love the red chair. I will be shopping for a table and chairs at some point and I will keep in mind this design.

My father must have obtained it at least 45 years ago and it's unlikely it was new at the time. But now that you mention it, it's actually a pretty cool chair!
If you ever visit Aqua Zoo in Leeuwarden you're welcome to drive the extra 20 minutes or so to photograph my toilet roll, bathroom floor, guinea pigs, goats, mess in my kitchen or anything else you fancy....And now I want to photograph a toilet roll hanging off a spade, but we don't have a spade around, nor a place to stick it in the ground. But you're giving me some lovely imagery.
You know, that does sound halfway tempting.... But I'm too anxious to actually do it, haha!If you ever visit Aqua Zoo in Leeuwarden you're welcome to drive the extra 20 minutes or so to photograph my toilet roll, bathroom floor, guinea pigs, goats, mess in my kitchen or anything else you fancy.
No need for social interaction either, I'll happily go for a drink at my neighbours while you're busy, telling them of this cool photographer with a bit of social anxiety who wants to take pictures of my toilet paper
I mean, that story is sure to get me a couple of glasses of fine whisky and I'd be curious what a photographer would make of my place
Thought so, even without the social interaction. But don't worry, I think the story of this stranger wanting to take pictures of my toilet paper but being hindered too much by her anxiety to actually do it is worth a glass or two as well. Especially if I take my time explaining how this makes perfect sense, can't talk on an empty glass, can IBut I'm too anxious to actually do it, haha!Sorry if you're missing out on fine whiskey now, because I am chicken ****.
And if you ever visit the Netherlands you'll know about all our zoos alreadyLoving the Dutch banter. It has cheered me up! Loved the Salsa video, too.
