Is it all in the eyes?

I think so, in both ways. Meaning, they do reflect what we feel but they also define what we feel as each pair focuses on different things and even when focusing the same, the interpretation can vary a lot. For example, even between brothers, they can both visit an animal shelter but while one sees homeless dogs and kitties the other sees an ass farm:

The HIVE - Tour - Episode 58 - Dutch time is running out

As my days are coming closer to an end here in the Netherlands I'm thinking how different the weather is this year compared to the last one when I was here exactly at the same time. I mean, I didn't expect a Mediterranean summer either time but at least last year there was some sort of summer, despite the breaks of winter. This year is just a random mix of all seasons. Literally, as long as Dutch winter is excluded. As I'm typing these words it's 10:00 am but there's absolutely no sun at all and I am wearing my brand new leather pants indoors, not only without sweating but feeling like that's proper stuff for this weather.

The HIVE Tour - Episode 57 - Dutching my days away

How many times have I commented on the weather? One too many already right? Apologies from a spoiled Mediterranean, your truly. However, it's impressive to see how the mood of all beings on earth is dictated at a certain degree from the weather.

The HIVE Tour - Episode 55 - Ways to spend time during shitty and not so shitty summer (?) weather

I don't like complaining so I (hope I) won't focus on the meteorological side of things here in South Netherlands, if you follow my posts you're aware of that. Funny things happen when weather is OK enough to be outside though. Like this:

The HIVE Tour - Episode 53 - Silence is priceless (Dutch version)

Mainly cause it gives you the chance to live the way you audibly want while if you live in noise that's it - you have no choice. Democratic as I am, I love peaceful neighbourhoods cause they give you choices contrary to the fascistic noisy ones. Now go explain this to the wanker with a loud bike...


Here at Heeze in Netherlands peace 'n quiet is far from rare so imagine how a Sunday morning feels like. Do you want me to walk you around these empty streets?

The HIVE Tour - Episode 46 - First steps around Le Mans

Thinking that I am at Le Mans puts a smile on my face. This French Acropolis of racing was known to me since I was a little kid and now I get the chance to see how it looks like in real. So I wake up and can't wait to walk this famous city. However, here's what I see as soon as I look down from my bunk bed:

First post COVID trip abroad (part 4)

 

Living with such a garden at your reach is priceless. The above is the first cherry tomato I picked here.

I can't say no to a fresh zucchini either:


Fancy some strawberries?

Or maybe some green apples?

But the stars of the garden are the fresh eggs I get on a daily basis from these lovely ladies:

Have a look how I pick their "gifts":

Here's the simple way to enjoy them:

The above is the most fresh I ever had in my life. It's the one I picked in the video and went straight for boiling. However, with such fresh organic stuff around my lunch couldn't be far from promising so I turned this:

Into this:

I criminally forgot to put fresh basil from the garden but still it was absolutely totally fucking epic.

My diabetic friend whose life is in my hands as I inject him twice a day seems to have a good life as well:

Often sunbathing on his throne:

He seems to like TV much more than I do:

But likes my hands as well:

It's priceless to hear him purr while I pet him.
Have a look how he enjoys it:

As you can see things are not too bad in this slice of heaven.
And I still haven't explored the area around - stay tuned!
