Today I wrote an article about the show 'Rembrandt & De Gouden Eeuw'
in the local theater in our village.
It was a nice multimedia show about the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt
and the period he lived in.

It was nice to chat with the artists and to take some pictures of the
show.
The article (in Dutch) with pictures is on
Regioactueel.nl.

Today I got the final results from the 2019 Dutch Lever action competition,
organised by the WLASSH (Winchester Lever Action Shooters Society Holland).
In the 'Trapper' class (25 meter standing) I ended in thirteenth place
from sixty-seven competitors and in the 'legacy'class (50 meter standing),
I ended in seventh place from forty-three competitors.

For the third time this year, the WLASSH had organised a lever action
shooting match. This time it was in Bussum, in the center of the
Netherlands. It was more then one and a half hour driving but it
was a nice match.
I did not shoot very well today but I had fun anyway and I was happy
to talk to the Dutch importer of Henry rifles, about some issues with
my rifle.
Prices and presents
Everyone got a WLASSH mug and some chocolat. The winners got prices
(but I did not win).

We needed seed to feed our three chicken so we went to a big garden
center nearby. In this time of the year, they always have a christmas
exhibition with model houses and a model train.
This year, it was disapointing because they did not build the
beautiful model railway they used to build. It was an exhibition
with only the little snowy houses they have for sale.

This Sunday, we went to church in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, to the church
that our youngest son and his wife go to on Sunday.
Today was a special day because our youngest son was baptized.
Baptism by immersion
After the church service, we went to their house for a lunch with
family.

On my way home, from the opening of an art exposition in Putte, I
was riding my bicycle through a forrest, when I noticed some strange
dead trees, with lots of mushrooms growing on it.

Today, the weather was fine AND I had some time to spend, so a good
time for a motorbike ride. I got my BMW boxer from the garage and
went to Motorservice Ossendrecht.
After a coffee and a chat, I got on my BMW again and went to
Motoport in Goes.
In Goes, they have a nice collection of beautiful restored classic
BMW's and a showroom with new BMW's and Harleys.
After looking at all the bikes in the showroom and a coffee, I
started my BMW again for the ride home.

I needed a special wrench for the oil fillercap of my BMW so I
stopped at 'De Knalpot' on my way home but unfortunately (and to
my surprise) they did not have it in stock.
When I left De Knalpot, my fuel light started burning so before I
went home, I filled my petrol tank at the ESSO petrol station
close to where I live.

This afternoon I went to Heemskerk in the North of Holland for a
APS-DSR shooting match. I went there together with a friend from
our shooting club. It was a nice match and we enjoyed it very much.
After the match, I went to Bergen op Zoom for a dinner with family
to celebrate the birthdays of two of my grandsons.

Together we moved a sunshade from our daughter her neighbours house,
to our daughters house. The old lady next door had moved to a retirement
home and my daughter could have the sunshade is we removed it ourself
So, my daughter her husband, her father in law, one of my sons and I took
some stepladders and tools and with some effort, we removed the sunshade
from its old location and moved it to our daughters house.
