Hupf, Hupfer, hupfest..?

Grammar explained on Wikipedia: the suffixes -er (the "comparative") and -est (the "superlative") can be used to distinguish the degree to which the modifier modifies its complement.

All I need to do is find a hupfest..!

New housing estate

Was quite a surprise when we discovered a newly build house with 28 rooms indoors...

Rooms for hire..?

Thanks to a vacuum cleaner, this illegal build has been completely demolished...

Disadvantage of warm weather

Sunny weather is a blessing for most, but somethings will always suffer...

Complete meltdown...

Advantage of warm weather

Going for a walk and stopping for a refreshment...

And forgetting they serve half liters...

Car antenna hippo

I never understood why you should have something on the end of your car antenna. But if you feel the urge to do so, please don't use any water dwelling mammals: that just looks silly...

Why a hippo..?

Bananart

Couple of days ago I saw these amazing banana sculptures, made me want to try it for my self...

Beautiful banana art

But before I will turn into a new banana Michael Angelo, I'll start simple...

I'm not there yet...

[ Oh.., I ate the banana before I could start in ernest... ]

Wandering gnome

Some time ago I reported about this little gnome with the search light. Today I found him wandering through the bushes.

Fairytale search party still going on..?

Not sure what the little guy is looking for, but all I could see where some cigarette butts and a piece of chewing gum...

[ I hope he finds it soon... ]

Anti-wobbling table dropjes

This afternoon we enjoyed a hightea at le pain quotidien. The table was a bit wobbly so I was looking for a beermat to put under the shortest leg. To my surprise I saw someone before me had already taken care of this, but the thing used had slipped free...

It was a piece of licorice...

I just slipped this piece of candy back under the leg and the table was solid as a rock..!

Squeeze and squeeze

Whenever I think the toothpaste tube is empty I manage to squeeze out a bit more. In the end the tube looks completely mangled...

Squeezed tubing...

Trying one more time...

Hooray: managed one more serving!

Now it's really empty!

Windowsill garden

Our trip to Tuincentrum Osdorp resulted in buying a little green greenhouse. We now started our little indoor garden by sowing herbs: lemon balm, watercress, jalapeño peppers, cumin, sage, rosemary, coriander, basil, chervil, marjoram, lemon basil, chervil basil, parsley and more parsley.

Add water and wait...

Cesar Millan

I might not be as good as the dog whisperer, but I had this carton dox behave very quickly!

I'm now its calm and assertive pack leader...

Depressed fire hydrant

I can imagine being a fire hydrant isn't the most thrilling thing in the world, but this one really needs to be cheered up...

Always look on the bright side of life..?!

Where to go..?

With the lovely weather outside, you just need to take a long walk outside. And to make sure we were going somewhere, we combined it with essential shopping. So we headed to Ikea on Saturday to buy candy...

Anyone need a new brush..?

And we visited Tuincentrum Osdorp today to buy a greenhouse...

Cubical shapes

This morning I saw this beautiful (almost) square light reflecting on a wall...

3D reflection...

Radiator-sheep

Found this creature grazing near the waste containers. Guess its owner no longer needs it to heat the house and left it there all alone...

Hope someone will take it home...

If you can't stand the heat...

When you think you have everything for your kitchen, you might still be missing a creme brulee torch...

Fire it up!

We've got one now, but have a shortage of things to torch...

[ if you have any suggestions, please let me know... ]

New view

New office, new view...

The Rijksmuseum...

Sticky toffee pudding

Who doesn't love English desserts..?

Straight from the microwave...

[ the recipe is available upon request... ]

Celestial ceiling

When I opened my eyes this morning, this is what I saw above me...

And visible from the comfort of my own bedroom...
