As a young teenager, I had a friend who lived a few houses down the street. We were 12, 13 years old, I think. We played together, often in his room. He had a radio transmitter and was making radio shows. THe transmitter had a reach of just about as far as my house, so I could also sometimes listen to him. He was very passionate about it. Of course, he moved into the media world. First a local station, then he went national. He became a star, with his own tv show even. We had long lost contact by then. But I was still not only proud, but also impressed: he had made his career from a early age passion for making radio. Today I saw the news that he passed away earlier this week. At 52, much too young. Sure, he was controversial, and especially later in his career I thought he said some dumb things. But he was my friend then, and he built a career from his passion. Something not all of us get to do. Wherever you are now, Robert, I'm sure you're entertaining the masses with your showmanship. Rest in peace, my friend. https://jensen.nl/

Ik had vroeger nogal wat Maartens en Martijnen in mijn klas. Voor de kids die nu geboren worden zal Noahs (jongens) en Noor-en (meisjes) zijn. En misschien nog wat Emma's. https://nos.nl/artikel/2597343-noah-voor-de-zevende-keer-populairste-jongensnaam-noor-onttroont-emma

Strandbeesten, or Beach Beasts are creatures created by Dutch artist Theo Jansen from PVC pipes. They are enormous structures that can move like animals, and have their natural habitat on the Dutch beaches. They move independently, powered by the wind, which is always present on the Dutch coast. The project started in 1990 and has grown out since then. We stumbled upon the Strandbeest bone yard the other day, and even got to play with some of them.

A fresh Fernweh Files poem. This time in Dutch, inspired by a visit to the lovely city of Delft. We had fries in the House of Fries, a small shop just off the Markt in Delft. They had a wall covered in wooden chips with art on them. You can buy a chip by donating 50 cents to the Ronald McDonald House charities. Ideal for my poésies éphémère collection of poetry coins. https://zora.co/coin/base:0xc9e1e7c453635fbfdcd34f822db5b79c4cca1921?referrer=0x9e38ee8cc233eea4d7b278f259aa9f801f222bbe

Geen witte kerst, maar wel ijs op de sloten. En op sommige ijsbanen. Genieten jullie een beetje van het winterweer? https://nos.nl/l/2595986

Heb je echt in Den Haag gewinkeld, als je niet in het trappenhuis van De Bijenkorf bent geweest, en geen broodje (pittige) bal van Dungelmann hebt gegeten?
