Today I filmed in the grasslands between Vleuten and Haarzuilens with my Canon 550D-camera. It was nice weather with sun and clouds. This is actually the third or fourth time that I put some effort in filming and you can notice that in the experimental way it is done. Also I still need to find my tripod, because it is sometimes too shakey. But the image stabilizer of the Canon telelens does a good job to reduce the shaking.

This week I finally made some time to take photographs of the grasslands between Vleuten and Haarzuilens. I had luck with the weather and I was just in time because when I came home, they mowed all dandelions. This is my first walk here with my new camera and it all seems to work fine.

You can see the pictures here .

Not that I’m not writing anything at all at the moment, but since we got the keys of our new house two weeks ago, we are constantly busy with our new house. You can read updates about the work we are doing in our new house at our special website. If you want access to that site, please let me know.

This week my bike was stolen. I walked out the frontdoor and I only saw Nina’s bike, but not mine. I could make a hassle of it, but gone means gone. The first thing I did is look on Marktplaats for second hand Kronans and luckily I found a black one for sale and not that far away from where we are living. I called the seller and two hours later I had a ‘new’ bike to ride on.

In the evening I sent a complaint to the police online. I could specify all details of my stolen bike. I knew that in Utrecht it is quite useless with so many bikes, but perhaps my complaint could be used in the statistics.

Today I got an e-mail where they said my case was not detailed enough to go any further. Although they understood that it can be a thorough experience. They offered me victim support for emotional support. I liked my stolen bike a lot, but there were also quite some problems with it. My new bike compensates everything for the stolen one, so thanks for the victim support, but no.
