Je suis back from a short relaxing holiday in Weert and now I am quite sure that I want to swim more, because it really is a good exercise for your body. Got useful christmas presents like a drums-tutorial book, very nice.

While I am back in town for some days already, yesterday there suddenly arrived a car with a horsetrailer behind it. It opened and a bunch of hunters with big guns jumped out of it. They usually hunt for ducks or rabbits or something like that, but I hope the animals were smart enough this time to escape from those bad ass guys. Hunting is a really sad sport.

Furthermore there is finally some snow as you can see here and here. They predict and warn for more snow and black ice (ijzel) so it can get spectacular outside. And if I look outside now I already see some snow falling horizontally with a lot of wind.

While pogoing around the Internet my eye fell on the Falkirk Wheel, some very strange — but cool — construction in Scotland which connects two different canals (on different heights).

Have been a bit busy last weeks and I even got ill the whole last week. That happened just after I went skating on ice in De Uithof in Den-Haag. I think it has something to do with it.

Anyway, only a few days to go and then this year comes to an end. I am still exercising with drumming and everytime I learn something new, just that little trick or little extra tick with the sticks. And there is a lot more to learn and I want to put some more recordings online somewhere next year.

I also found out that doing multiplayer gaming via Hamachi works very good. I did play Farcry and Battlefield 1942 yesterday and it didn’t gave any problems; except that I don’t seem to be able to run a server, while others can. I don’t play that often games actually, but in the winter and the dark days it’s entertaining.

One thing to end with, I found a site which shows you a map of all big cities on earth. By clicking on a city it will show pictures made by people from that city.
