Member of the month

A new Mowingclub member of the month or of a couple of months
My friend Michiel send me this picture.
He is the handyman in a soccer stadium in Biel, Switserland and often rides this John Deere tractor.
From now on Mowingclub of the month members get a Mowingshirt. That's more than fair.
Its on his way to Biel!

Secrets Are Like Gas-o-line

The flash movie won't play on certain Windows computers, so I added this crappy Youtube version. I picked up the electric guitar again, since 12 years. Mowing Sean on drums and Erwin Smitskamp plays bass. Together with Erwin I worked out the harmonium part. Karin Camerik does a little backing vocal. She got a great voice and sings much more on 'When the phone doesn't ring it's me', wich will be released on later this year. This song is about hurting people with secrets. I don't know the secret anymore but I talked about it to someone who thought he kept this to himself and no-one knew about it. When he realized people knew about this, he literally turned white and fell from the barstool. Knowing a secret about someone gives you power. This kind of knowledge can destroy friendships. Pretending you know a secret about someone gives you power too. It's the wrong kind of power but it makes the world go round like a big washing machine.

chop an union

My first cookery lessons.
Off course there was this moment where you had to introduce yourself. I had not experienced this since Highschool and went 14 years old again when it was my turn. I stuttered my way through and realized again what a stupid selfish thing stuttering is.
Well okay.
We learned how to cook a Ragu, a 'simple' Bolgonese like, meat and vegetables sauce.
Lots of theoretical information about Battuto and Sofritto and the order of throwing things in the pan.
The cooking group really liked to drink a lot of wine and soon the mood turned into kind of jolly along with a lot of bad jokes.
I think I can really learn something overthere. For example for the first time in my live I know how to chop an union.
Next week we're making Risotto.
