Minister Plasterk, the minister of internal affairs of the Netherlands,
was visiting Bergen op Zoom today. I went there to write an article for
Regioactueel.nl. I made a lot of pictures and did
a short interview with the minister.

With our daughter and her husband and daughter and our youngest son
and his girlfriend, we went to the bowling alley at "Familyland".
After an hour bowling, we went to the "all you can eat" restaurant
Kookpunt in Roosendaal for a very nice dinner.

Finally, the dead tree in our front yard is cut down. A friend of
one of my daughters girlfriends cut it into small pieces this morning.
The before and after picture
The dead tree looked quite green on the picture but the green you
see was moss and other stuff that grew on the branches of the tree.

My last motorbike ride was almost a month ago. Since then, I had been
very busy, the weather was bad and I didn't have an oppertunity to
go for a ride.
Today I had the time, the sun was shining and I went for a ride on the
Honda 400 to a big motorcycle shop in Goes. I avoided the freeway but
used the backroads because they are much more fun to ride.
At the motorcycle shop in Goes and a covered windmill in Krabbendijke
It was chilly, about five degrees Celsius and at the motorcycle shop I
got a hot chocolate to warm my hands. On my way back home, I stopped
in Krabbendijke to look at a windmill that was completely covered. It
looks like they are renovating it.

There was a big exhibition with model trains, -airplanes, -boats and
Playmobil and LEGO in Goes, forty kilometer from home. I went there
with one of my sons and his two sons and one of my granddaughters.

There was a lot to see but unfortunately it was very very busy and it
was difficult to see some things because of the crowds but never mind,
it was nice to see all those beautiful models anyway and the children
loved it.

Our son Vincent, with his company
Social Media Maker,
is organising an auction of motorcycle clothing and helmets for a local Motorcycle shop,
Motor Service
Ossendrecht. For this auction, he needs pictures of all products
on sale with the auction, so he had to make a lot of pictures today and I was his
assistant. It was hard work but we have most of the pictures he needs.

Yesterday, most carnival parades were canceled due to the very hard wind
but today, despite the rain and cold, carnival parades invaded the streets
in a lot of towns in Brabant.
I went to the carnival parade in Ossendrecht (Ostrecht) to take pictures
to write an article for
www.regioactueel.nl about the parade.

It was very cold and raining hard, but the atmosphere was good and the
parade was spectaculair again.

There is a storm today with to much wind for the carnival parades.
Unfortunately for all those people who worked so hard for today, the
big parade in Hoogerheide and Woensdrecht was canceled for safety
reasons.
Yesterday, we did have carnival parades in Huijbergen en Putte. I went
to Putte for an article on
www.regioactueel.nl.

Because of some weird noise, the Clio had to go to the garage. After
I left the car at the garage, I walked home and took the long way,
through a forrest and fields. Although it was raining, I really
enjoyed the walk.
I am so happy to live in such a nice surrounding
