I’m doing it myself…
though not without the odd mishap.

I have enrolled to follow a set of lectures on ‘Nature and Art’, which is fortuitously held in a grand old lecture theatre in the middle of one of Amsterdam’s greatest institutions ‘Natura Artis Magistra‘.
It has been well over a decade since I attended any such thing, but found it easy to slip back into ‘the taking notes and doodling whilst paying close attention to a fascinating monologue richly illustrated with slides’ mode.
What a treat it will be to go to the zoo each week and meander past some of my favourite creatures after class!

I visited the lovely ‘Antwerpen ZOO’ on my holidays.
A visit to their online imagebank is well worth a visit too if Belgium is a little out of reach.

It has been more than a little quiet on this here blog during winter.
My hibernation instinct has been in full swing.
But a good break away from the dayjob in Belgium has restored some of my lost vigour.
So who knows, I might be posting some stuff here in the near future…

You must be thrilled to bits! ;)

I’m still got the ‘January blues’ with a generous dose of the ‘common cold’ on top, but have managed in between hibernating stages to get some spring indoors… in anticipation of the real thing.

I’m starting to miss the hazy days of summer.

Hello!

…it jumped out of my hat again…
