Our combination of May 4 & 5:
May 4 is Rememberance day - all those who fell, mainly we think of the casualties in WW2. 2 minutes of silence at 8PM, all the country goes quiet

May 5th is Liberation Day - The Germans signed the document in which they capitalized. We celebrate we can live in freedom

Sure there are a lot of things to be said on both these days, and most Dutchies do. Bunch of opiniated knobs most of the  time. As long as they remember we can voice that opinion because we live in the free country we live in, I am OK with that...

(yes this could just as well have gone into the grumpy thread, but on a day like to day, let's not)

Lovely day yesterday, nice day again today. Plenty of rain in the forecast though. I suppose climate change has done this. More heat, more evaporation of the oceans, more rain.

That's it. Pogi in pink. Can he win 20 stages? He even had a crash.

Plucky Brit Geraint Thomas came in 3rd.

And well done Demi Vollering for winning the Vuelta Espana Feminine

Ach, Matt! You were so close to a like.😁

Breakfast. Porridge with fresh raspberries and blueberries, but the blueberries were the star. Never eaten such big blueberries before. More the size of grapes. Eureka variety from Morocco which I bought in Home Bargains of all places. Only in for dog food so a lucky spot.
