Januari
is almost 2 weeks old. We had snow, slippery roads and it was very
cold. And here I am with my thoughts in England and Schotland, wanting
to see more, planning trips and yet I see only a small part that I want
to see. Wish I could
live there. Or had travelling work there. Dreams of an old woman.
March 23 Spring in
the Netherlands. I love it.
Lines
Written in Early Spring
By
William Wordsworth
I
heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To
her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.
Through
primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The
birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure:—
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
The
budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
If
this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
April A bridge in Germany. I was visiting some
old trees. (see www.bomentijd.nl)
Love their houses too
Travelling
around in Britain. Time really flies and I try to get my list done but
I see so much and walking miles a day. It is tirering but I feel at
home here. And yet I see too little. This country is really big and
much to explore.
And now I am at home and I want to go back. But yesterday when I
arrived at home I sit on the couch with some of my cats and feel this
is happiness too.
What I saw: (a small part of it)
Week 26 It is really
hot this week in the Netherlands. Not fun anymore. Some parts of Euroe
it is more than 40 degrees C
I have big trouble facing it. Work is hard and I fel sick about it. and
at night you cant sleep. Thinking is also hard to do. And the animals
outside has a bad bad time....
Still you see trucks full of animals on their way to the slaugterhouse.
I like these
blues songs. AI yes. But still I like it.
AI
More are coming and more is possible. I
really hate it when they use real people. Like ABBA. Lot of AI Abba
pictures and songs are on facebook and youtube. I so hate that.

The world is
growing darker with war and fights. And animals are the first one who
suffer. Cows, cats and dogs, chickens and more. Ofcourse there are
people around the world who try but there are less money for them to
save a cat or a dog or another animal.
And often you see terrible
pictures and movies on favebook or youtube or social media.
I try but
to be honest it is really hard for me to give them money cause daily
life is really expensive and my cats (when I got a dollar or a euro for
the answer- how many cats do you have- it wasnt a problem) The rent,
food, also for the cats, taxes, my car, insureancce.
It is really hard
and often there are more money going out then in my life.
Ofcourse the
holidays are so welcome but also expensive.But I want to see it when I
can.
For the people who try to save animals on the streets and from mean
people is really, really hard.
