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…

Preparing for Limburgs Mooiste
Longer ago than I care to remember I participated in this organised bike event around Valkenburg. I wanted to go again but a few years the hockey season was still ongoing on the weekend of the event and then we had covid. Now, finally there are no conflicts so on June the 3rd I will…

Wabi Sabi Leuven
I went for dinner not so long ago in Wabi Sabi Leuven located in the Muntstraat. We normally go to the Bonheiden location but this time I went with some colleagues so Leuven was closer. The quality of the food is very similar between both locations but in Leuven the restaurant is located in an…

First impressions of The StoryGraph
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…

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…

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…
