After eating a store-bought oatmeal cookie, I remembered that baking a batch is not only a lot cheaper, but these are also a lot nicer 😇 and in the meamtime, the grapes were harvested… one bottle juiced in the fridge and the rest will be vinified

We were watched over all night. Around 15 of them the end. Never heard a peep. I assume the bill clattering will resume when they wake up… I’m away all dat; will they still be there tonight?

An assignment was cancelled, so instead of filling my diary again with more work, I cleaned and cleared out my office. A great work-out and I got rid of all my printer cartridges (dedicated box for charity downstairs), 3 boxes of paper and a bag of junk. And all my drawers are now labelled. Result!

When something shorts in your house and you begin to realise it may be the wiring in the ceiling… this is not fixed by replacing an appliance 🫣 one has got to love old houses and previous diy owners…

damn, one train cancelled. And the second one as well. And I blinked just too late to get on the train that would get me home via a different route.

On my way to university. Yeah! At age 52, 30 years after graduating, I am a student once again. (Yes, OU students are students too) I am really enjoying the two law modules I'm following, and I am looking forward to the first physical meeting. I thought the Nortons were heavy? Try law books...

And no, the police officer insulting client I was supposed to interpret for, did not show up. Yet. But as the official start time was 10 minutes ago, I assume I can call this a no-show.

After 2 days of corporate #interpreting jobs and corresponding yummy catering, I have to make do with machine coffee in my own travel mug and an energy bar in court. Hmpf

Translators are often invisible. But there is a face and a human behind all those texts that have been carefully worded to ensure that readers in other languages understand what you REALLY mean. I will forgive you if you put the Dutch text in DeepL to read Sigrid's story: ngtv.nl/nl/over-ons/...

The weekend in Edinburgh consisted of long walks thinking and making decisions. I have some new obligations with work and study, which means I have to let go of some of my volunteering activities. Feels weird, I cried, but this is the right decision.

That painless blister in my mouth that turned out to be an infection due to a deceased dental nerve. Joyz. Glad I had it checked out. Step one done, root canal finish-up in 3 weeks’ time.

Ticked off a task on my todo list that really kept me up for a while last night. But it's done now and I can go gallivanting around Edinburgh again. Plan is to go and discover the university area (I am a university student again after all, OU, but still, a STUDENT OF LAW! Yes the secret is out).

Cobwebs truly blown out of my busy head by the wind on my morning walk along the Newhaven coast. A great start to a weekend away in Edinburgh. And why not have a strawberry waffle for lunch?

Ammerins @ammerins.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The day before a trip is always a brain muddle. Even if the trip is only 4 days. Probably because the day after the trip is a full day of interpreting on location with colleagues and I also have a translation deadline on departure day. Lalalala. #ivcoffeedrip

Dear train conductor not on shift sitting across from me. Yes, that "Silence" sign in the train carriage also applies to you. And I do not need your full crotch in my line of sight. Please close your legs and don't manspread. I feel like pulling my top down to show as much cleavage. #trainlife

Ammerins @ammerins.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

He tried again to get his bike on the next train. No mate, it’s still not 9am. Lol. #trainlife

Ammerins @ammerins.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Yeah mate, you can get angry at the train conductor all you like, but no bikes on trains until after 9am. And yes, she will stare you down until you have taken off the bike - even if it makes the train leave late. #trainlife

Well, that's a first. Interpreting job cancelled because of a cabinet crisis. Still getting paid, but still... It would have been fun to interpret a ministerial speech!

Ammerins @ammerins.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Big and small jobs off the to-do list. The small one was fixing the door latch. The assembly in the door had come apart, which meant the latch bolt was stuck inside. The big one was sanding lots of wood to prep for painting tomorrow… (not this door - that will be done a lot later lol)

No regrets going for colour on the doors. This is a perfect combo with the kitchen. Now to decide on a wall colour…

In 1986 schreef mijn vader, milieueconoom, zijn bestseller ‘Die ökologischen Milliarden’, waarin hij uitlegt dat elke cent die je in milieu- en klimaatbescherming steekt, zich in 2020 10x terug heeft betaald. Met deze voorpagina van @trouw.nl hoor ik hem zeggen: “Wie niet horen wil, moet voelen”.

Voorpagina-artikel van dagblad Trouw: “Economische schade van klimaatverandering is er al sneller dan verwacht”, de titel.

Step 2 (step 1 was the olive green kitchen) of de-Ral9010-ing our house. The doors will be sage smoke and we now have authentic door handles (push-pull for ease) which remind me of my grandparents’ farm. One door and frame at a time…

I am on the bike every day. I bought a new rain suit in March. Today is the fifth time I’ve had to wear it. That is how little (daytime) rain we’ve had.

Baffling fact of the day: some people on the train are capable of closing the door after them when going in, but not going out - a true skill!

@minister-president.bsky.social Hoe vindt u zelf dat het gaat? Niks aan de hand dit weekend bij de opvang. Een bericht in de media waarin dit staat en de 'bezorgde burgers' maken het nodig dat er ME moet worden ingezet. Wat een waanzin. Stop. Dit. Alsjeblieft.

Het huis staat in de brand, en XR is het brandalarm. De overheid zet bruut het alarm uit. En geeft geld aan de pyromaan om het huis sneller te laten branden. Klinkt eigenlijk best wel raar. Maar dit gebeurt dus wel.
