Our hotel in Oban got on fire!

We got a mail from the Manor House Hotel in Oban, Scotland informing us that our reservation next week is been canceled due to a fire in the kitchen and some rooms of the hotel. So now we do not have a place to stay in Oban. Luckily the Manor House offered to help us to find alternate accommodation. So let's see were we end up.

I feel love - for Donna

The first time I saw Donna Summer it was in Van Oekel's Discohoek - one of her very first performances when she still lived in Austria. The song was "The hostage" - later with Giorgio Moroders' I Feel Love she became the Disco Queen and that's how she will always be remembered.

I am Ultra Fit

As a true Quantified Self person I needed a FitBit Ultra. It's great as has a pressure altimeter that will not only track the number of steps that you take, but will also keep track of when you climb stairs or walk up hills. It can also can be used to turn into a sleep monitor when attached to a special wristband. But I already have my ZEO for that. All the data that is collected by the Fitbit is relayed wirelessly to the Mac. Sweet.

The World's Oldest Marathon Runner Fauja Singh (101) Prepares Ahead Of The Edinburgh Marathon

While I am still wondering how in the hell I should run the HALF Amsterdam marathon in October, Fauja is laughingly running marathons at a 101 years old - what am I doing WRONG?

farmer seeks guy

willem
Henk

The amazing popular TV show "farmer seeks wife" started again, this time with a gay farmer, Willem. Probably best if Willem stays inside his farm and never comes out... The farmer who I would like to know better on the other hand is Henk, 25...

Finding the source of the Nile with Joanna

I am enjoying very much the quest of Joanna Lumley to find the source of the Nile in her (already from 2011) documentary. She is really a warm, friendly and funny lady who sparkles on the screen and makes everything seem so easy, while all the time it is probably very tiresome, scorching hot and smells like hell...

Albert Falco

I was sorry to hear that Albert Falco died. Together with Jacques Cousteau he brightened up my weekends with their adventures on the Calypso (and under water of course). For more then 40 years he sailed the globe to explore, explain (and thrill). Thanks Albert - you are still one of my heroes.

Lovely Simon

I really like Simon Reeves - his stories from around the world are real, funny, moving and inspiring. His new series "Indian Ocean" is now showing on BBC 2 (HD).

At the beautiful Felix Meritis building at the Keizersgracht Dirk & Roland got married today by the always witty and nice Fatima Elatik. The guest were an international mix from all over the world and Eddie and I had a great time meeting new interesting people (och talar svenska!). Good luck Dirk & Roland :-)
