Amat victoria curam!

Godfried Bomans was one of Hollands' most loved writers after the second world war. He was the first to appear on television - with much acclaim. He was born in Haarlem and for more then 40 years was friends with Harry Prenen (here right above on the painting) who was an artist but first of all: my History teacher!

The Frans Hals Museum had a nice small exhibition about Bomans and his scene and showed how versatile he really was: writer / performer / presenter / composer / poet / comic and he even created a English language course.

Stockholm Pride är Nordens största Pridefestival och liknande i Amsterdam en väldig trevligt stor fest.  Många olika typer av deltagare och mycket många tittare. Bara: tyvar ingen båtar men en enkelt promenad...

In the (surprisingly OK) romantic comedy "Letter to Juliet", Vanessa Redgrave is stealing the show with her nice balanced acting. You actually believe she is searching for her lost love (played by good old  Franco Nero). You forget that Amanda Seyfield and Christopher Egan are in this picture - which isn't to bad. Although I must admit that I did paid attention to Gael García Bernal of course...

A great remake of the classic - this time in China with beautiful scenery. But it is al about Kung Fu while the movie is called (in most countries)... KARATE kid.. I am a little bit confused or is it Confucius?

Roland and I made a small trip in The Betuwe (east of The Netherlands). Great weather, a little to much cyclists, strange villages ("Homo"?) and lots of castles and curves. A Sunday well spend.
