I tried changing the timezone in Date & [...]

Housewarming parteh! = postponed :(

Flar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:19:28 +0000

So we got this new house, wanted to warm it with you guys, made a parteh announcement, and then found out a lot of our friends couldn’t make it that date due to a prior engagement.. So we could do 2 things: host a party for the 3 people who could come that day or postpone, [...]

Cats..

Flar — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 08:12:49 +0000

We used to have this nice white kitty, clean, cute, but most of all white. You got the picture right? Nowadays we have a garden and he’s allowed outside, suddenly we no longer have a nice clean white kitty anymore but something more like a dirty moggie. We’re desperately in need of kitty shampoo… (and [...]

Atheist bus campaign

Flar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:27:53 +0000

In England there are now buses riding around spotting a “advertisement” stating: “There’s probably no god, now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” I hope to see buses in the Netherlands spotting the same line soon :) See this link for more info: http://www.atheistcampaign.org/

WTF?

Found this is in the sidebar of roflrazzi, I’m relatively sure the second isn’t hammond, but then again this picture could fool me.

bredemeijer rulez!

Flar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:27:33 +0000

My parents and brother got me this Bredemeijer tea set for my birthday: It contains a teapot and a “tealight” as shown, and 2 cups. Since I didn’t have anything in this style, anything with a “tealight” and I’ve always wanted a Bredemeijer to add to my collection I was really happy with it to [...]

Since it is a dynamical banner it changed to this which was (in my eyes) even more fun:

Cat cuteness

Flar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:09:46 +0000

Recently I started working in the study again, not working there was mostly due to quite a mess and the fact that we needed to install a new windowsill. Since the new windowsill is quite a bit bigger than the old one I’ve taken to put my laptop there whilst it is connected to the bigger screen and keyboard on the desk, so far not very interesting.. :)

Sofie who is the shyest cat in our household loves to sit near to me while I’m working, thus she has taken to sitting in the windowsill watching me work. Right in front of the built in macbook camera ;) This afternoon she noticed my mousepointer accidently entering the screen of my macbook which gave me a perfect opportunity to make some cute pics ;)

Oh and btw the turning her head sideways move is her favorite but in these pictures not even near her perfect one (almost 180 degrees)

Oeps?

In de ban van het ding

Flar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:31:54 +0000

I just saw an episode of the dutch tv show called “in de ban van het ding” it’s on nl3 and really nice for techies and people who like “smart” design. ( I had intelligent design here but since some religious groups have adopted the term intelligent design for something that clearly isn’t I hope to avoid confusion by changing it to smart design.) I’m not sure whether all their episodes are like this but if they are, this is something I would definitely watch more often. Check out the episode I watched here (their website is logically named indebanvanhetding.nl)

Dove catching :)

Flar — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 08:57:57 +0000

Around our appartment complex we have quite the population of doves, add some cats and the problem would be solved you’d say. Unfortunately the doves are just smart enough, they will sit just out of arms reach and as soon as out of arms reach turns to into arms reach they flee.

This morning there was a particular good example of this, of course we took some pics:

Eventually Balthos decided enough was enough and climbed on top of the railing but then the dove was well rested enough to leave the scene :) If you’re interested in the full sized pics check here.

Parteh!

Flar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:38:32 +0000

Deck and I will be celebrating our birthdays on the first of march, for details please check out this page!

Hope to see you then :)
