Rest in Peace

Dusk

Too many lonely, sensitive and creative individuals decide to step out of it.
I think self-determination should be a human right for all...
but why does it feel so much like failure?

My thoughts are with family and friends ☆

I fell in love with this aardvark

Too Big

Today we said goodbye to (sold) my desk because it was too "heavy" for this space.

Now it's back to basic.

This old table came from an outdated factory I once worked.

Almost 30 years ago. Yes, I started working at a really early age (smile)

More photo's of my old desk: here, here, here here and here.

And then suddenly my computer is oversized! (big smile)

Treasures from Crisnée

Yesterday we went to a brocante market in Crisnée,

I saw something I liked so I asked: C'est combien? (French for: How much is this?)

The seller in Dutch: Dat! Dat is de tand van een beer! (English: It's a bears tooth)
(we continued our conversation in Dutch, just read my free translation underneath)

Me: That's no bears tooth! It's a bone, just take a look at the structure inside.

The seller: Yes, yes it's a bone... it's a dinosaur bone!!!

Me: That's no dinosaur bone! And I wasn't asking you what it was (smile),

I just want to know your price...

A smiling seller: 1 euro?

 I also found a small torch with a bullseye (aka walleye, dome) lens
and a torpedo style (aka Hamilton's, bomb, egg) soda bottle for a couple of euros.

We already had a simular torch and bottle...

This might be the beginning of a new collection... (big smile)

International Worker's Day

Being Labour Day today, we went to a brocante market in Crisnée.

We're always hoping to find a treasure in the amazing piles of junk.
