Omdat ik niks beters te doen heb: hier is een poll
Als ik in hotel/b&b/guesthouse verblijf doe ik:
1: al mijn spullen in kastjes en laatjes
2: leef ik uit mijn koffer
3: stal alles uit op alle mogelijke UHS (bruikbare horizontale ruimte) in t zicht

When I'm in a hotel/b&b/guesthouse
1: I put all my stuff in wardrobes and drawers
2: live out of my suitcase
3: put everything on all the available UHS (usable horizontal space) in sight

Fedifolk! We've just returned from a week on #Harris with the most amazing weather!

So here's „Sunny Day On Harris“ again (we were to early for the #Machair, though). I since realised that the original version of this doesn't work (you can't have a door in the chimney!) so here's a variant.

Which one do you prefer?

We have been prioritizing little adventures around the University's holiday schedule. This week we are heading to Kauai for the Easter weekend. Indy is ready!

"In my traveling era."

Through the most unique week in Israel, happening right now — in Hebrew!

Whether you've been to Israel many times or never at all —

You're going to feel this one.

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח

"#Passover is a #Jewish #holiday steeped in tradition, but is set apart from other religious events in that the occasion and its observance is largely about #food. This is a holiday with pretty strict dietary guidelines, as well as classic #Seder preparation traditions, and for that reason, planning and #cooking for the holiday takes on a higher level of focus and preparation.

Home #chefs may start shopping, cooking, and planning their #menu weeks in advance—and the same can be said for celebrity chefs who happen to be Jewish.

But with so much #culinary traditions intertwined in this holiday's observance, it doesn't come as much of a surprise that many chefs have a specific family dish that has remained a star of the Seder for generations."

All those northern European middle-class people who buy or rent an apartment or a house in Spain to get more sun & cheap wine - they are contributing to the housing crisis.

I know a few of them. They deny any wrongdoing of course. They should really have their nice & pretty homes invaded themselves.

Weekend Away

Crazy wet weather weekend away. Not a chance of a clear sky or stars, just that one bright morning yesterday. But we still love it.

I’m a little confused.

At first I thought Mardi Gras was the Christian Purim.

Then I thought Yom Saint Patrick Ha’Kadosh was the Christian Purim.

So which #holiday is ACTUALLY the Christian Purim?

#MedinatAmerica = #Satire

Tomorrow is Purim eve, a holiday of joy, costumes, and a special tradition: משלוח מנות /meesh-’lo-akh ma-’not/—gift baskets for friends and family.

In Israel, these are everywhere—kids in costumes carrying festive packages, schools and workplaces organizing exchanges, and supermarkets stocked with themed boxes. Unlike store-bought treats elsewhere, Israeli baskets often include homemade goods, fresh fruit, and savory snacks.

The mitzvah comes from Megilat Esther (9:22), emphasizing unity and ensuring everyone has food to celebrate. משלוח מנות literally means “sending portions,” rooted in both Biblical and Modern Hebrew.

Happy Purim!

Purim in Tel Aviv is like Halloween on steroids! Imagine a city where reality takes a wild (but amazing) detour—like a unicorn arguing over parking, a superhero crying over spilled ice cream, and a business exec casually heading to work in a full penguin suit.

That’s the magic of Purim: costumes, chaos, and the best kind of fun! Want to learn some Hebrew while soaking in the Purim madness? Check out my latest YouTube lesson all about Purim fun!
