Mostly for @petnoodle.bsky.social who needs amusement.

Apparently I was part of the first million... Bluesky now has over 10 million users. That's exciting.

In celebration of endless blue sky today...

How my workday is going.

All English books - this is in the Hague, there's also a Waterstones in Amsterdam... just two of the options ;-)

On a visit to Amsterdam I accidentally visited the very moving National Holocaust Names Monument. The design is a simple concept laden with meaning.
