Far away from home

This week has started really early for me, as I got into my car at 05:45 this morning to go to Groningen. For those wondering how far that would be for me: pretty far! Grotere kaart weergeven I’ll be here for three days, and two nights. All I can say is that Groningen is a pretty city, I hope I

Sports in Waddinxveen

This weekend, I’ve competed in a A,B,C,D-tournament at Conquesto, Waddinxveen. It is one of the nicer tournaments. Well organized, nice accommodation and nice people.

The mixed double (with my

To my dreading, it has become that time in the life cycle of my car: it had to go. No more *vroem-vroem*, or rattling, or flying low. No more noisy and loud acceleration, no more old Charade. Too bad it had to go, it was my very first car. I now have a decent substitution for it though, yet I’m

A little money can go a long way

Yesterday, early in the evening, my girlfriend and me have decided we were in a long-term relationship and have confirmed this decision with a 30-year contract. What? A 30 year long contract? Yes: our mortgage. We just signed the mortgage proposal, and are scrambling to get all the right documents to the creditor to get our mortgage approved. May 5th
