Blurry and overexposed Added after your last visit

One drop in each eye a minutes later you can watch how your vision quickly deteriorates. Pupil widener, it was. When half an hour later I stepped out into the street again, it was with very squinty eyes (and still blinded by the light) and unable to read my own watch unless I held it two metres from my face. The rascals!

Poor dear Added after your last visit

It was walking in the middle of the street, around noon. Very unsteady on its legs and with a swarm of dung flies around its head. No wonder, there was an ugly wound right on the top of its head.
So we got a plastic crate from the car and, with the help of some kitchen-paper armour, lifted the patient into the crate (it could still curl up, but not with any enthusiasm) and covered him with a couple of sheets of kitchen paper, mainly against the flies. And then called the animal ambulance.



And so, half an hour later, the poor dear was transferred to a kind of tupperware stretcher with a lid to be spirited away to the hedgehog clinic. Phew, maybe a happy end after all. And another good deed to add to our karma.

These swallows keep getting more clever by the day. Sanitation, well well.

In the wrong place Added after your last visit

Every time I see something on TV about the Philippines I'm convinced again that it's really in South America and that the whole Asia story is just a big fat lie.

Raaaaaah! Added after your last visit

Dear fellow IT professional,
a word of advice from fellow sufferer: keep away, a long way away from Siebel. I'd almost become religious, just to be able to say with conviction that it's a tool of the Devil. A deeply regrettable piece of junk.
And you, CIO, you who have just allowed yourself to be tempted, in exchange for a round of champagne, to acquire a Siebel license, vade retro! No matter how much you hate your underlings, they do not deserve this.
(Phew, just something I had to get off my chest.)

Burdened inscription Added after your last visit

Of course it doesn't have to mean anything, but when you find an inscription like this on the Grebbeberg, it does make you think.
