Grizzled Blog: August 2010

http://grizzled-dog.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Things I Did Yesterday 31/08/10. It's a slow burn. And yesterday I:. Came home to a very tired, hungover wife. We ordered some pizza in which took more than and hour and a half to arrive! During which we watched Whip It, which was a very middling, formulaic film, to be honest. It had promise, but just dragged things out and made far too little of the rollergirls themselves. It wasn't terrible, but I couldn't recommend it. Fell into bed and was asleep in record time. Lyndhurst wa...

Grizzled Blog: April 2010

http://grizzled-dog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 16, 2010. Things I Did Yesterday 16/04/10. Not given up yet. But yesterday I:. Worked. No Josh, so I had to get in extra early to get the new comics out on the shelves and get as much of the filing done as possible. Started at 7am and worked through lunch so was able to finish at 2.30pm, which wasn't bad at all. Good morning too: got the filing finished by about 10.15. Otherwise did the Marvel advance order adjustments and worked on the till. And then I did rest. Thursday, April 08, 2010.

A Dutchman's Life: Daffodils are shiny when polished: in search of new titles for blog posts

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2007/06/daffodils-are-shiny-when-polished-in.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. Daffodils are shiny when polished: in search of new titles for blog posts. For example, Rutten Clencke (a peculiar name, even in Dutch) did some damage to the village of Wolder during a raid. This village was occupied by the Liegois, and so it seemed justified, but he also damaged property belonging to the lord of Mérode, who was one of the knightly lords fighting for John...

A Dutchman's Life: Pictures from Brugge

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2007/06/pictures-from-brugge.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. I've scanned in some of the pictures taken on my trip to Brugge, which took place ages ago. Enjoy! Two of the city gates, beautifully constructed. The palace of the lords of Gruuthuse. Neerlandicists theorise that the family emblem of a cannonball (middle Dutch. The Our Lady's Church, supposedly the tallest brick-only tower in the world, nay, the universe! Speaking of which,.

A Dutchman's Life: 03/2007

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. Spring has also arrived, so my shorter hair fits the season. The people of this locality have not realised what Spring is about, though, and despite the warm and sunny days we had early in the week the majority of them still wore their coats with (mostly fake) fur collars. Eejits. I think not. Apparently sint Joris (George) is patron of all soldiers, and also of farmers an...

A Dutchman's Life: 04/2007

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. The 'Middelnederlandsch Handwoordenboek' has arrived! Some are beautiful (like this one. And some are, quite frankly, dreadful ( euch! When the weather is warm and you've just had a nice cold beer to cool down. The Ragweek of 2007 is now a thing of the past. I suppose I gave it negligable if non-existant coverage in my exciting and infrequently updated blog (the sudden moo...

A Dutchman's Life: 08/2006

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. Now I'm learning about wet. For over a week now the clouds have been drifting over the country, making the weather unpredictable and generally wet, so apart from last weekend – more on that later – I have been mostly inside, getting to know my new housemates (all my old ones moved out, is that a hint? Perhaps the three hours back home in public transport were even worse, as I ...

Grizzled Blog: January 2011

http://grizzled-dog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 24, 2011. Necessity is the Mother of Monsters. So, I guess it's time for a little catch-up! 1) Shaking Out the Dustpan. 2) Defrosting the Freezer. Speaking of which, I'll be going back to my revision of my 2009 effort. It's been largely stalled for quite some time now, so I'm gonna have to start again from scratch, I think. Probably not a bad thing. 3) Scrubbing the Bathroom. 4) Sweeping the Floor. 5) Making the Bed. 6) Writing the Blog. And this thing, of course! And that's about it!

A Dutchman's Life: 11/2006

http://korbosch.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Reflections on Europe in general and the Low Countries in particular. Plus some personal stuff thrown in to attract more readers. Not having made any new posts in recent times, perhaps I should give some updates. Most importantly, my grandmother died of cancer on 2 November; the funeral was on Monday 6 November. Although it was of course a sad occasion, it was a good commemoration. It was nice that a lot of people came, to support the family. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bruges and Antwerp 1200-1500.
