The auditorium of our church was getting to small for the numer of people
and the last three weeks, the auditorium was made twice as big by opening
a wall to another room next to it.
It is completely new with new light and sound equipment and this morning
was the first service in the new auditorium. After the service we had
coffee and lots of home made cakes that many churchmembers had baked.

After a few months waiting, my father-in-law finaly got a place in
a nursing home and today we moved him and his things to his new
home in Bergen op Zoom.
With a whole team of family members and a hired van, we got everything
in his new rooms, in one day work.

This morning I went to the Police Academy in Ossendrecht for an
article about the "Police Experience Day".
This day was organised by the recrutement department of the police
to show people how interesting it is to work for the police.
They had some interesting activities and demo's. The demo with the
police dogs was very impressive. Don't mess with a police dog !
The 'criminal' is arrested
In the evening I went to the theater show of Milène van der Smissen,
a Dutch singer who sings a lot of Dolly Partons songs and tells
about Dolly Partons life in this show.
I wrote an
article about this too.

Our son Vincent took a motorcycle safety training at ridingschool
DEK in Goes today and I went with him to film it for our
Motormobilist Youtube channel. The video will most
likely be online friday next week.
Before we went to the traing area, we went to Motoport in Goes to
buy a new helmet and motorcyclingpants for Vincent because he needed
them new after he damaged the old helmet and pants with his accident.

Today I picked up my Goldwing that stayed the weekend at Motorservice
Ossendrecht because I rode home on the BMW last saturday.
It is a little crowded in my garage now but it does fit.
Now I have to make a decission every day which bike to ride 😉.

I had the BMW R1200GS for sale because it is to high for me but then
I realised I could also lower it with a special lowering kit.
Today I picked the lowered BMW up and it is perfect for me now. It
is no problem getting on the bike now and I can get my feet flat on
the ground on both sides.
Of course I recorded a video that will be on
our Motormobilist channel in a few weeks time.

Today we recorded a new Motormobilist video in Vincents back yard.
In this video we talk about how we got our motorcycle drives license.
I did it in 1975 and Vincent in 2020.
The video will be on line next friday on
our Motormobilist channel.

Every year I try to do a New Year's Ride on my motorcycle. This year
I made a little tour through the municipality of Woensdrecht, the
municipality where I live.
From Hoogerheide, I went through Calfven to Ossendrecht and from
Ossendrecht to Putte and then via Huijbergen back to Hoogerheide.
Riding past the church in Hoogerheide
The weather was very nice and I had a wonderful ride. A good start
of the year.
