Forging a Knife
Friday, 20-October-2023 - Veghel - Last night, I made some repairs to my best pair of work jeans. I was getting ready for an early birthday present from Marij: a forging a knife workshop from Phoenix Cultuur at the Noordkade in Veghel. It was cool and raining outside--perfect weather for working in a blacksmith shop. Niek Eikelenboom was our instructor. He was so energetic and passionate for this ancient trade. This was something I wanted to do for a long time. I felt so much fulfillment and pride as I was working (photo Lucas van Engelen). In the washroom, I saw a familiar painting of the young and talented blacksmith, Jouke Ruigrok.

Dag 3--Rotterdam Skateweekend
Zondag, 4-juni-2023 - Ottoland/Rotterdam/Thuis - Onze laatste dag bracht ons in hartje Rotterdam naar het Hotel New York (foto). Er was zo veel te zien en horen. Ik wou het allemaal opzuigen. We moesten ook voor het verkeer opletten--druk, druk, druk. Gelukkig waren er meer mensen met een camera op zak om het allemaal vast te leggen. Heel spannend (eng) vond ik de roltrap naar de tunnels voor fietsers en voetgangers onder de Maas. Ik snapte niet hoe andere mensen zo ontspannen konden blijven. 11 skaters, zes fietsers, en één solex rijder waren goed voor 35 km. Een weekend om niet te vergeten! pics (209)
