La Royale
Today we went looking for a student room in Leuven for our daughter and we had time to lunch between visiting 2 rooms. As the second place was not far from Leuven central station we decided to eat at La Royale. This is part of The Lodge group but it is definitely better than the…

Bowling Berkerijs
Since the beginning of 2023 we were saying we should go bowling with the family. Now with the easter holidays and no hockey training or matches going on we finally managed to find an evening to go and play a few games among the four of us. We went to bowling Berkerijs as it is…

Jan de Volksschilder
Last week our daughter was away with school so we took the opportunity to go to Jan de Volksschilder in Keerbergen. The restaurant is known for its variety and quality of spare ribs. As our daughter is vegetarian this is not the first choice to go for dinner with the whole family. But as she…

Pizza at Luciano
To celebrate the end of the indoor hockey competition of our son we went for Pizza at Luciano in Keerbergen with the team. We come here every now and then when we want to eat pizza. From the places in the neighbourhood this is our favourite pizza restaurant. And they also have other Italian food…

First k on Stromer ST3 Pinion
Early this week the odometer on the Stromer crossed the 1000km mark. It took a bit longer than expected due to a lot of bad weather. Too much rain when it was close to freezing. Not the ideal conditions for going +40 km/h on 2 bicycle tyres. Instead of enjoying a relaxing bike ride I…

More PlayStation Luck
After buying a new PS4 earlier in the year we had some issues with black screens while playing. We decided it was time to retire our 17 year old 50 inch Pioneer plasma tv and buy something new. The choice was between a LG or Sony OLED screen. Both had good reviews with LG having…

PlayStation luck
For a very long time I have been thinking about upgrading my PS3 system. I bought my PS3 when it originally came out because it was almost cheaper to buy a PS3 then to buy a BluRay player at that time. Then came life and I didn’t have a lot of time to play games…

First 550km with the Stromer ST3 Pinion
This week I reached the 550km mark on my new Stromer. I have it since mid October and due to some unforeseen circumstances I haven’t been in the office as much as expected so the kilometers have added up more slowly than normal. Still, I am now accustomed to the bike and have used it…

Why I am not watching the 2022 World Cup Football
Ever since the 2022 edition was given to Qatar the decision has been publicly debated on and off. It all started with the dubious motivation to host the most important football tournament in a hot desert country with no football tradition to speak off. That got fixed by moving the tournament from the summer to…

Brasserie de Abdijmolen
Went for an early dinner a few weeks ago on a Friday at Brasserie de Abdijmolen in de abdij van het park in Heverlee. The sun was shining but it was raining on and off so we decided to play it safe and sit inside even though some people were enjoying a drink outside. As…
