Thanks - husband just on his way back to Adelaide but not sure if he can go up straightaway. I’ll encourage him!

Agreed! For me it’s been coming back to the Netherlands every few years and seeing the changes.

I once got questions from Australian Immigration as to whether “that’s really your place of birth?” He was very sceptical 😂

Firstly, hope you’re better soon! Secondly, we did the 2 hour flight today and pelicans were abundant but tiny. Pilot reckons will be green up here till September at least so you have time to recover.

Waarom zijn de zwerfhonden aan het front in Oekraine zo goed doorvoed? Ofwel: Waarom ik mijn perskaart heb ingeleverd. Ik kreeg van NRC 2000 woorden, wat een feest. Dit komt van diep. Een repost is lief. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...

Like with Botox for other purposes😁it’s not a permanent solution but needs to be repeated but I assume your neurologist would have mentioned that

I’ll check with someone I know. I know he gets Botox injections and I think it’s for migraine (and he’s in the Netherlands 🙂)

I feel you. Often on my commute to work (especially in autumn/winter) there’s not a lot of cyclists about. But I do feel the number is growing. Keep on going 💪🚲

Tickets booked for trip to Europe, including train. Thanks to @seatsixtyone.bsky.social for super helpful info - so of course I had to book seat 61 where I could 😎
Shows train itinerary to and from Hamburg with seat number 61 encircled in red.

Not a real war obviously but some robust religious discourse in the White House, maybe?

Happen to know these streets very well 🥰. Go through here at 8AM instead of 8PM and it’s full of kids and parents cycling on their way to school and work

You know, it’s just possible to feel really bad about the violent deaths of Israeli Jews, the genocide in Palestine and the deaths of Australian Jews all while being neither anti-Semitic or Islamophobic. Somehow that has become impossible for the political class.

Not compulsory in the Netherlands and generally speaking, not needed due to much safer infrastructure for cyclists.

Yes! And also, did they not see the “Check point closed - do not enter” sign?

Given how many people cycle in the Netherlands, even with overall great infrastructure, statistically, accidents will happen. Hopefully injuries were not severe!

Odile Ruijs @odileruijs.bsky.social · 03/01/2026
Yes. The thing that I find most worrying is that, as the author argues, very little seems to really move the voters’ needle/approval. Not even the economy as in: ‘it’s the economy, stupid’. Hope I’m wrong.
