SWAT: Under Siege
Watched this movie on Netflix some time ago. I watched the original SWAT movie with Colin Farell and Samuel Jackson. Compared to that movie this one is a bit of a low budget let down. It features Michael Jay White but he is acting like he only got paid half a salary. There are a […]

3,5k Jog
Sunday I was planning to go for another bike ride again but it didn’t materialise. Around 3:30 I decided that I had to do something pro active to compensate for the upcoming dinner which would include a lot of food and sitting at the table with some exercise so I went for a run. As […]

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 […]

A Mathematician’s Apology, G. H. Hardy (ISBN 978-938831814-3, Hawk Press)
Read this short and apparently well known book from early twentieth century. I came across a reference to it in another book recently although I don’t recall where. Anyway, the book kind of tries to justify being a pure mathematician. With the focus on pure mathematics utility is discarded as a possible justification by Hardy […]

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 […]

Chasing Venus, Andrea Wulf (ISBN 978-009953832-5, Windmill Books)
This book came out in 2012 when there was another transit of Venus approaching and describes the attempts in the eighteenth century to measure the transit of Venus to determine the size of the solar system. I read this book in a Dutch translation at the end of 2014 the first time and recently read […]

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 […]
