Maison Belge
Sunday we went for dinner at Maison Belge to celebrate a couple of May birthdays. We’ve been there a few times before and so far it was always a success. The kids opted out this time in favour of a home made pizza + Netflix movie evening. It saved us the worry that the dinner…

De Brasserie
Recently I was home alone with my son on a Saturday evening with the other family members out for dinner so we decided to go for dinner ourselves in De Brasserie in Keerbergen. The name may suggest this is to be a place on the lower end of the culinary ladder but it is actually…

Jan Primus route
As part of our preparation for Limburgs Mooiste on June 3 we cycled the Jan Primus route in the neighbourhood of Rotselaar. It is a 72km route with a lot short climbs around Rotselaar so it was a good practice. With the approach to the route and back we cycled almost 80km this time. This…

La Brasserie des Etangs Mellaerts
Hockey season is nearing its end but not without another busy Saturday with 2 away games on the same day. This time we had to leave around 9:30 for our first match against La Louvière. Because they are renovating their site the match was at Lynx. Not as far but traffic was bad with a…

In another post I mentioned the negative image of Goodreads because it is owned by Amazon and considered as not the right platform for book lovers by some. The StoryGraph was proposed as an alternative for quality seekers. I decided to check it out as I am not a big fan of Amazon myself mainly…

Lego Batman Tumbler
For Christmas I gave the kids a Lego Batman Tumbler to build. You can get it from many places like for example on the lego site but I managed to grab a nice discount from Bol.com at the time. It was fun building at a leisurely pace with the 3 of us. The set consists…

Looking for a book ?
Ever looked for a book or some details about one ? I had just the other day a book without an ISBN number on the cover which was messing up my digital library system. Luckily the internet came to the rescue. Everything you need is ISBN Search. You can search based on ISBN, title and/or…

50 books a year
I read an article in De Standaard yesterday from their journalist Jan-Frederik Abbeloos about how he finally managed to read 50 books in 2022. Like me he uses goodreads to keep track of his progress and almost apologises for it (but not really) as it is part of the Amazon evil empire. JF lists some…
