city-trip

However 33% of the city trip are on bike there are no really state of the art novelties in this 4th sized Dutch city.
It's a shame on the local authorities that for example on the spot of the video. This crowdedness is going on for a decade of even more. There are 2 busy lanes to cross and a tram passes from both sides. That makes 4 lanes.
Many people get injured here each year. It's not without a reason.
Shame on you Municipality to let it happen.

Fisherman

The Dutch marine saved a Iranian fishing boat -a strong fisherman´s friend- This is called protection. In fact it´s a war. In this action 2 Somali´s died.

Hear this bird singing



Or watch this video of two or more bats flying around my house

Yes, it's certainly spring.

On my way to Amsterdam

When I came back in my old town I came along this wall. This was last weekend. I took my camera with me on cycle tour which was a day return Utrecht-Amsterdam. Partly I followed the road between the canal and the railway on the video. The return was 102 kilometer by the way.

On my way to Amsterdam I had a lot to think over. At work really a lot is going on. Especially the spreading of rumors about my colleague's and my position leaving the department is something which interest me. But it's true between 3 months and a year I will be doing work in a different way. But which way, that is the question. The management who favours our transfer does mention the pros but doesn't speak about the contras of it. Being on the department means having short lines with the work-floor and having access to (not digitalized) information and people. Files cannot leave the department so for payments I have to be on the department. There is so much to say about it. As we have a new team-leader we first want to inform her about the progress in this transfer.

Today we had a trip with our department. Some kind of team-building without the coming team-leader. (what made the interim manager decide to plan it on his last day in office?) It was a ride with cars and in the meantime we had to do some tests as in a rally like Paris-Dakar. The cars we drove were Citroen 2CV's. Very nostalgic cars, but not really for me. After 10 kilometers I was sick and at the first stop I decided to to back home. I walked 4 k to a train-station and took the train back home. That happened at 2 pm. 10 Hours later I still felt sick.

 Two days ago I had this view from my window.

new video

I made this one a week ago. It gives an impression of what is sailing cross the canal behind my house.
