I was fascinated by the shape/colour/texture of this building.

Sunday morning kitchen
Now that it's warmed up outside and the sun's shining its little socks off I
thought it was time for a real winter warmer.
Viewers in the southern hemisphere may tune out now.
Rough, farmer's sausage and chopped up smoked sausage, fried in a cast iron
pan together with chopped onions, garlic and Rosemary & Thyme from the
garden.
Add a bucket load of chopped plum toms and a tin of Tom-Puree.
Add to that a whole load of white beans and chickpeas.
The magic is in the 7% Belgian "Triple" beer, brewed by naked Belgian Monks
somewhere out in the forest of the Ardennes in utmost secrecy.
Put it on a low heat for half an hour.
Later, after you've come back from watching the rugby, chuck it in the oven
without the lid for 3/4 hr.
Serve with crusty-rustic homemade bread.
Warning; do not attempt to swim for several hours after eating this, you
will sink.

Lucy; a monster trial
A small theater, "de
Engelenbak",
perhaps 150 seats, the front row is actually on the stage.
A tight silence from the sold-out arena throughout the play, punctuated only
here and there by a nervous laugh.
Simple white props; six white doors and a couple of chairs.
When "Lucy" brought the dialogue to an end with "and that's enough of that,
I'm tired of it all" and the single spotlight dimmed to black, there was a
short, stunned silence before the applause broke out.
I know this case inside out. They got it right.

Lucy, a Monster trial
Today Annie & I are in Amsterdam.
We're here to see a play, "Lucy, a Monster trial" is about the case of Lucia de B.
It's in a little theater off the red-light district.
We've made a bit of a day of it, left the car in Weesp, took the train in from there. Been to see the "Magnum photos 60 years" exhibition in the "Stedelijk Museum Cs", very very interesting and inspiring, more on that later.
Now in an Irish bar watching France stuff Ireland. This place is full of Frenchmen!

Truck vs Train
(viewed 431 times)
This is what's left of the trailer that got whacked by a train on Sunday night just outside the port and about 100 meters ahead of me.
By the looks of it a low speed shunt, no injuries.

Faces of Carnaval
Carnaval's just winding down now, the start of Lent signals the end of four days of madness.
On the Sunday there's always a huge parade full of colour and crazyness. I'll post a few shots of that too later, got work to do still today.
I haven't gained permission from a single one of these faces but I recon they'll be fine with it, 'cept maybe that weirdo with the long curls and the strange tongue, might have a problem with him.

Crocodile!!
(viewed 465 times)
Every time I pass this spot (industrial estate just outside Rotterdam), which is about 15-20 times a year, I do a double-take "blimey! There's a crocodile in that ditch! Oh, no, it's that lump of tree again".
Gets me every time.
Gets me every time.
