Great Tits in da house!
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012Yay!! My ‘build a tree and get a Great Tit for free‘ program worked; the Great Tit not only found its way ‘home’ to the bird house, it also laid its eggs, and…got some young Tits!! It is quite active around the bird house, the young ones are getting fed, are learning to fly, *so* nice to see…nature is beautiful!
Find the Great Tit:
…*there* it is!!

Transit of Venus 2012
Tuesday, June 5th, 2012Tonight/tomorrow an important and historic event takes place: the last transit of Venus that anyone living on this planet today can expect to watch…!
Due its rarity and its importance for science in history this transit will be one of the most important celestial events of the 21st century. It starts tonight (June 5) at 22:09h UTC, and will finish at 04:49h UTC tomorrow (June 6). The previous transit has been in June 2004, and the next pair of transits will not occur until December 2117 and December 2125!
Weather is unfortunately not cooperating for the majority of people in Europe as predictions show it will be cloudy 🙁 , you can still follow it via livestreams on various websites.

Parkfeest recap
Sunday, June 3rd, 2012Well, well, what a weekend this was!
The Parkfeest was a great opening of the festival season; good bands, better weather than predicted and a relaxed atmosphere created together with some fantastic people!
It was great to see Racoon last Friday, as well as De Dijk yesterday (playing ‘Groot Hart‘ as their last song…shiverssss!) and I enjoyed a sweet desert today; Chef’Special!
Superb weekend, I love it!

Parkfeest Day 2
Saturday, June 2nd, 2012We’re about to dive into another night filled with good music, a beer or two and great company!
Main acts for tonight; Paris Dandies, Acna en de Munnik and of course De Dijk!! It has been quite a while since I saw them live on stage which has always been great, they are a fantastic live act and always able to create a great atmosphere among the crowd…I *really* hope that they will play ‘Groot Hart‘, *my* song!! Afterparty in one (or more) of many bars in Oosterhout, and I already lost my voice…ha, it is gonna be a good night!! 😉

Parkfeest 2012
Friday, June 1st, 2012Festival season starts this weekend for me as I am going to the ‘Parkfeest‘! A lot of (smaller) bands will perform, I am really looking forward to see Racoon tonight, De Dijk tomorrow and Chef’Special on Sunday!
Oof, I actually barely made it for the start of the festivities today; I missed the first option to fly to NL this morning because the ground staff messed up (their system being down didn’t help too 🙁 ). Luckily I got a seat, the very last one, on the afternoon flight and will be ‘just in time’ to see ‘Miss Montreal‘ kicking off the festival…joy! It’s gonna be good, it already is!! 😉
