All the best for the new year !

We had a great time during the past holidays. Spent Xmas and New Year's at family and celibrated Hannah's 6th birthday !

We went to the Centerparcs Heilbachsee parc in Germany. We had a good time !
See the photos.

Not all the photos have a description yet ... work in progress.

Finally I had some time to work on the MI-Partners website. It now is a bi-lingual site made with Drupal 6.1.

I'm quite pleased with it. The theme is still very basic, at least it is better than the 1 plain text page we had till now.

D. Spel sent me three photos of his Bleeker instrument. We don't know the exact function of the instrument. Please leave a comment if you know more about it.

See here for the photos.

I've not updated this site for the longest while .... I'll do my best to upload some photo's of Hannah's 5th birthday etc.

We bought a new used car: an Opel Agila (the same model as the Suziki Wagon R+). To many it's too ugly to mention, but to us it is a very practical car. The production in Poland stopped of this model, but there are plenty around still. Our car has black metallic paint, 4 doors, electronic locks, windows etc. all in a tiny package.
So after 6 months managing quite well without a car our mobility increased considerably. I'm trying hard not to take the car too much to work ;-)

More news ? hmm, I bought a POD X3 Live guitar effect (by Line6. Love it to bits ! sounds absolutely amazing. To flatten the dent in my account a bit I sold my old POD and Floorboard.

Oh, Maudy introduced me to the music of the Wizards of Ooze: a terrific Belgium (Antwerp) band. I bought two CD's on Marktplaats already: "The Dipster" and the first promo CD (a real collectors item according to Jasper who is kind enough to sell it to me). Unfortunately the band broke up years ago. But the music is: }:)

Today it is six months ago when we moved back to Eindhoven. Our live changed a lot: Hannah went to a new school, Luke got a new job and Fran started studying and working in daycare ! So we are quite a busy bunch right now.

Time flies, specially the last few weeks but we are moving in a positive direction at least. Funny, I'm typing this and looking out of the window I see a flock of geese in V shape formation flying by :-D

Harrie Weitering sent me a few photos of his newly acquired Bleeker Refractometer. Click here for more info.

I'll start at MI-Partners in August. Much closer to home, different kind of work ... I'm very excited about it. More news will follow.
