Steden & Ridders In Den Uiver

Sat, 08/24/2002 - 7:56am

Went out with my parents yesterday evening, in a really nice cafe, In den Uiver. Their website doesn't really give a good impression on what kind of bar they are. It's a historical building, and they've decorated it with all kinds of stuff related to aviation.

We played Steden & Ridders again, because Sunday there will be a tournament in Leeuwarden where my parents will play. We were sitting in the back of the cafe, there's a room with two big tables; perfect for playing games. And even though it was Thursday evening it wasn't crowded so there was room enough. There was a life-jazz band playing, really nice.

So it was a very pleasant evening with my parents: games, nice beers, life music... Of course my mother won again. I hope she will play well Sunday also.

Just a reminder for myself: this website contains some other useful information :)

Thanks to Tonie and Joost Blokzijl I discovered the joy of TerraDesk, a tool that contains satellite images of the whole Netherlands!

It might look like I'm not working at all these day, but I am. Reading on the SHAM today. But still, I couldn't help noticing this picture (found on Slashdot) of a war-simulation game... Way, way cool.

Zusje

Okay, something for in the lunch-break: Zusje, the daily comic in the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Last week they had a particular nice one:


Picture: www.trouw.nl/zusje

Let's see, the last thing we need is a broom. -- Don't we go to Blokker for that daddy? -- I won't go there anymore. It's a creepy shop with a nasty mentality. -- Oh come on, is this really necessary for in a comic? -- Well, that's how they do it, right?!

(Background information: Blokker's annual report -which was written in comics- stated that "Immigrants and the 'entire asylum and illegal immigrants industry' are responsible for the large number of armed robberies in the Netherlands". See here for an English article on it).
