Yup, Peter has had some surgery done on his left hand this morning and all went well! He's recuperating at my place, surrounded by lots of books ;) 📚 #bettieserveert #dupuytren

A man (Peter Visser, guitar player of Bettie Serveert) is sitting on a bed with striped sheets and 3 pillows, wearing dark blue jeans and a dark blue sweater and a green baseball cap, his left hand is wrapped up in white cloth/bandages. In the back there are bookcases and 4 guitars are hanging on the wall

The solar eclipse was projecting ghostly images on my roller blind yesterday, one of them looked like the head of a person with wild hair, leaning forward towards my window

A window with a white roller blind half open, black windowsills, in the back there are green trees. The solar eclipse made weird shapes of the shadows of the leaves yesterday

After living in Amsterdam for 39 years, it was time to visit the Museum “Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder” (‘Our Lord in the Attic’). It used to be a secret church, with 2 balconies mostly painted in a dusty rose colour, up in someone’s very large attic (solder is the old spelling for zolder = attic)

The altar of a small church and the benches where some visitors are sitting. There are 2 balconies on each side, painted dusty rose.

Today I found out why closet-beds (or ‘bedstede) used to be so small in the 17th century. Back then people associated ‘lying down’ with being dead, so therefore they slept in a half-upright position. I always thought it was b/c most people were just smaller than me (I’m 1.65) They were, actually ;)

A closet-bed with the doors open, a small side table in front of the bed. On the right side there’s a wooden table next to the wall with a wooden chair next to it. The floor is made of black and white square parts of marble or stones. There’s a window on the left side, the ceiling is quite low.

I have not shut up about this band since hearing them for the first time and I am absolutely thrilled that this is a thing! 4 Bettie Serveert shows from 1993-2003. Huge bucket list band for me. I've never managed to see them live, so I'll be devouring these!
