Another Sir Oldenburg foal

Hi, last week I showed you some very cute pictures of a Sir Oldenburg foal some friends of mine had. But what do you think of Eliana, that's her name, she was born a couple of days ago at Arno en Judith's place - some other friends of mine. Isn't she very cute and beautiful? Her mother is by Metal x Zandigo, a full sister of Special D. and her father is by Sir Oldenburg the same sire as the other foal I showed you last week. For more info on Sir Oldenburg see my previous blog.

Memory lane: partying at the Roxy

When I was a bit younger and lived and studied in Amsterdam, I used to spend a lot of time in the Roxy.
The Roxy was from 1987 til 1999 an international renowned club founded by Arjen Schrama (Vinyl magazine), DJ Eddy de Clerq and Peter Giele (artist). At the beginning of the 90’s the Roxy was together with the IT one of the most important clubs in the house scene in Holland.
I was sad to the hear that at on 21 june 1999, the day Peter Giele was buried, the Roxy totally burned down because the airco wasn’t turned off.

Now Cleo Campert, the official photographer of club Roxy, has put together an exhibition "The Roxy Jaren" which brings back a lot of good memories...
Also check out the pictures from the past uploaded by Roxy visitors: http://www.roxy.nu/upload/ You can visit the photo exhibition De RoXY Jaren, from june 18th till july 18th, LUX Photo Gallery, Gebouw Het Sieraad, Postjesweg 1, Amsterdam. The opening is on june 18th by Erwin Olaf, from 17.00 tot 19.00 uur.

Participating the event is possible for all catamaransailors from all over the world and wether you are participating or just visiting it is always good for enjoying excellent sailing, a lot of music, parties, drinks and fun. If you want read and see more... just check out the space of some friends of mine who competed all week and have a great blog about catsailing http://teampaumen-deruiter.spaces.live.com/

The simple life

As I told you befor the last couple of months have been quite hectic, but lately I find myself enjoying the important things in life again... and they are so simple.

Actually Life is really simple, but we somehow insist on making it more complicated then necessary :) .

"Be content with what you have,
enjoy the the way things are.
Be good to friends and familly
and when you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you."

Spring Country Fair - taking a break

These past couple of days have been quite hectic, I am moving to my new house. Packing, moving, painting, furnishing, decorating, etc. etc. and I have still a long way to go :). That is why this afternoon I decided to go to the Spring Country Fair near my new home - only 10 minutes on my bike - and I felt like I was on holiday. Came back totally relaxed and loaded with fun ideas for my new home. Just to give you an impression:
