A colleague of mine gave me a magazine from Terre des hommes this morning

A very interesting interview took my attention.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Foggy morning.

a small world. A view  from my office window.

 

 

I came home  at 12  after 4 hrs office work with a head ache ,painfull throat and running nose.

I was thinking  when i was driving  home....i eat and then horizontal. I dont do a thing today.

But my hubby  thought different...change clothes we go for a walk  it will do u good, he said

so  as a perfect wife ( hihi)  i went upstairs to do what he asked.

And indeed  i was reborn after the autumn walk..

Here some pics  of the forest. Autumn dress.

 

 

I call this my Forest..There is no path  or tree  i dont recognise.

 

 

 

These mushrooms look so irrealistic .Where  are the gnomes??

 

As u all might have noticed  ..it was silent on my space these last weeks.

this is gonna change again. I was organizing a quiz, for our projects in sri Lanka.

last evening the event took place, and i can say........ it was a big succes.

ten rounds each round had ten questions abt music, geography,fotoos, puzzles.

We had 27 teams sweating on the questions Hoping to end as number one lol.

 

 

During the pause we did a lotttery with awesome gifts. So every one happy.

specially me..i was suprised abt the results..One Happy MJ..lol

At the end of the evening everyone had a present..All those presents we got from sponsoring companies.

Tx guys...

My hubby and i cant do this all alone of course...so i want to say a big tx to all my friends who helped me on this evening

serving drinks...being a part of the jury..selling  lottery tickets..behind the bar...and  the catering,  and behind the pay desk.

so here  a foto of them.

 

 

Sometimes i get  a question .like  hehe  MJ why do u do such things..

well  just watch this pic...and u understand.

 

 

 

 

 

first we ride the mountainbike  from Gendron to Anseremme

and then back with KAyak  ..hope i dont get wet.

 

 

 i am extremily busy  with organizing a quiz

it takes all  my free time, so i am not that much on space here.

The quiz is for the projects in sri lanka.

We go to Sri lanka again in december.

December 26th  will be a special day though.

Its been 5 years  after tsunami.

 

 

 

 

We visited this train in 2005 .Its a memorial place for all those ppl that died that day.

26th we go there..

 

 

 

May he rest in peace

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we had the intention  to go to Antwerp.

we had to go to my mom in law first  and thats why it became  a bit late to drive to Antwerp.

Plan B

The Saeftinghe its  a protected area  of nature. U can make a tour  with  a guide.Its very dangerous  cos  when the  rising tide is there u can be isolated  in 5 minuts  and theres no way back.

Today they celebrated the yearly  festivities.

It was  wonderful to see  so much boates together

 

u notice  that they  are  laying  there in the  sand

They have to  wait till the rising tide to sail out.

we walked a bit further  and  there i saw  my fav.

Its  a special one dont u think

 

After the walk in the  warm sun  we  went back to have a drink.

a local band was playing there. Awesome  music  and as u can see.Small boys  and  a girl playing the  stars out of the sky

Our future  musicians.  awesome

 

 

and  a fresh drink  to cool off with old friends.

 

 

 

 

SO now we wait for the pics of the paparazzi.

seems  he invites the heads of states on his boat.  He cant do that on a rusty one, is it?

 

 

 

 

 

 Tx Pety for sending me this perfect poem

 no schools to play
no lessons to learn
i work when they play
i work when they sleep
where is my life
doth  not i need life as other children
i need not toys
i need not books
its here ever
i need love
a child i need affection
not by books
not by education
but by love
i feel for you
i hunger
a thirst for affection
what would i be
i need to be safe
i need to learn
i need peace
A cry of a child
where we humans dare to live
doth we not thnk
doth we not care
to all children to live
may we have love to give

 

 

As i have one week  free time, i try out my new  bicycle. Although  running  is still my favorite sport.

Yesterday  we ride  from 11 am  and  we want to stop in Terneuzen  a city  at the  borders of  The Schelde.

But everything did not go as we wanted.

the weather changed  ..sun  gone  ..dark clouds came.

the bars were closed. so  we ride  in a hurry home.  52  km.  Ohh  and my ass  hurts  so much.

 

Today  a small trip  to Sint Niklaas a city 15 km away from our house

Sint Niklaas has the largest market place of Europ.

U see me riding in the middle of that market place.

We used  a natural road .U dont need to ride in traffic . SO that give  a very safe feeling.

The town of Sint-Niklaas is a vibrant and modern city in the heart of Flanders (the north of Belgium). It has about 70.000 inhabitants and is a stone's throw away from major Belgian cities as Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent. Sint-Niklaas is also the capital of the Waas region, which is why it has such a strong influence on the entire region. Sint-Niklaas has lots of events and activities for just about any visitor.

There are three major cultural sites in Sint-Niklaas: the leading library, the theatre with a diverse and self-willed programme and the brand new cinema complex Siniscoop.

The rich variety of bars, dining rooms and restaurants in the town centre and the quarter near the railway station makes Sint-Niklaas the place to be in the region. Add a few interesting museum collections and you get the perfect mix for a day out.

 

 

Is this me????? U judge  oke?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ur skin is so different

ur language  hmm its abracadabra for me

ur traditions  are so new  for me, most of the times  i dont understand

even our food  is  not the same

 

but  how come we understand???  its  the  spirit..isn't it??

 

First day of the weekend.

After a hectic week and saterday morning works..like doing laundry, iron and getting food in the house,I treated myself on a lazy relaxing moment. Changed clothes and went horizontal on the garden bed.

Normally i read or just close my eyes and dream a bit as u might know...im a dreamer..its allowed yes???

But now my eyes caught a plant in front of me. Loaded with butterflies. i took 20 pics, as a real photographer would do  haha

and this one i like the most.

i wanted a pic with more than one but then the butterflies were not that clear.
