At this social working place, the sour guy left the work floor, to collect some 400 bikes somewhere in Holland.
So i worked with B and an other guy.
B and i finished two bikes!
I am soo proud!
B made a test drive on this one bike, wich was worked on, before by the Sourman.
While he was on the bike, one of the peddal broke off..
He almost fall of the bike!
He came back, terrible mad!!
Cursing and cursing!!
Very impressive!
So, we fixed that, again, and checked the whole bike, because it seems that the Sour man, never really put all the bolds and pieces tighten
That made them, talk, about this Sour man!
I heard storys that made my eyes roll!!
ReallY?
Well, well, well, he is not as clean as he pretend to be.....
cough!
He did not practise shoplifting, let me say that...  
He is even more nasty, then i allready, instinctively 'knew' about him.
I even think, the staff might be a bit afraid of him....
I liked it, that those two men, opened up, about him and their selfs too....
It was a very relaxing day, working with B.
No drama, no nastyness, no negativity, at all
We even thanked each other, for working together.
One of the habbits of the SOur man, is always telling me, what i do wrong.
The whole day long.
The other day, i had enough of that, so i shouted at him.
I dont do anything WRONG.
I am doing things my way!
That does not say, that is wrong!!
He immediatly moved out of the away.
Or, when you tell him he forgot to do, something, he always react with;
I know that already!
Go F yourself! You did not.
It is known, that Indian man, and maybe especially the older generation,(?) really have a very big dislike of women.
So, now, maybe, i have made some friends, overthere.
Planning on working more and more with B.
We worked together, help each other, give each other the tools needed and all that, normal healthy work relation.
Still an apprentice.

Was again, such a lovely day.
It started with rain, but i was oke with that, because i had to do a lot of work inside the house, first.
In the afternoon, the sun came out to play and i played a bit in my garden, too
just messing around with giving some small herbs a better spot in the garden,
making more room in the middle of my garden.
Put some soil in the holes i made by digging out the elder and conifer...
feed "my bees and wasps" some of my honey.
There were a lot of bees, wasps too, enjoying the honey
and i enjoyed seeing them eat, collect some food...
As i do, in summertime, when wasps especially, come and take water out of my very little pond... and fly away with it, trying to keep their nests cool...
I am happy to be of 'service' to those animals.
And, tomorrow i will get my stuff from the bushcraft shop!
i am soo excited, !!!
Just an other small step on the way to my traveling.

Hate/ love,
I am not againST the Isreal people or pro the Palestine people.
I am against the war.
I am againts the manipulation of the peoples!
I am against manipulation of the peoples, by telling what will be accepted as "the truTH"
There is no such a thing as THE TRUTH.
I dont like acting out of the underbelly feelings.
Howling with the majority.... amp;
No ratio.
I have a weekness for the underdog, cant help it.
Always been, always will be...
I know!
it is a weakness...... or not....?
In the mean whille, our ground rights are being undermined...
Without *you* are aware of it....
All in the name of your "SAFETY".....
All ocupied with all this war thing going on....
dualism, is a killer.
Sometimes, you, i them, just dont know, enough...
to be able to make a stand.
And that is very liberating, to say; i just dont know (enough) to build a oppinion about * it*..

Tipping point
|

On more levels in this world.
I talk about the tipping point, in nature...
We all, act, as if we are on the TITANIC.
keep dancing and fancy dining,
while the poor and riffraff are drowing, down below...
As is the case with all kind of small islands, where the native born people are forced to leave the grounds where their ancesters are burried...
And that is something very traumatic for them.
Also, the have nowhere to go, to.
Other islands?
Mingle with other native folks? who are dealing with the same problems?
This is happening all over the planet, with all the small islands.
Near Indonesia, for example.
Once, nature gets to this tipping point, there will be no way , in wich we can safe ourselfs anymore, i believe....
Maybe if you live on a boat, ship..?
Have enough survival skills, do know how to....?
Know how to live from the sea, or land....
Talking to a friend, we discussed this, she told me; there will be a third world war,
dont question that.
I dont think, it will be the war of wars, that will get most of us killed
i think, nature will fight back
The ice on antartica is melting way too fast.
The permafrost in Russia is going on, way too fast.
All that water has to go, some place.
We, here, in Holland, are sitting ducks
It will come from two or more sides
From the canals, from Germany and beyond and from the sea...
Buiding dikes?
How high do you think, you can build them?
The last storm, wich hit Scotland, and we had some of its tail, too
killed a few people..
This will continue, unless we stop acting as if we are on the Titanic.
All countrys/ governments dont have to backbone to make the big changes.
demand the madness about all those traveling in planes, all around the world, to stop.
stop the production of cars.
Stop the over production of meat, dairy.
Make a much, much better public transport system.
kick the Esso, Shell, and all those big, big powerfull companies out of their histerious profit making
Make them make amends.
When that tipping point reaches it high....
good luck.
Titanic behaviour.... 
We all do it,
act as if nothing is going on, continue the same way, live the same wastefull ways..
as ever..
Greed is thé source of all evil...
A friend of mine, told me; they worked só hard, they had THE RIGHT TO ...
in their case, to travel, fly to greece for their hollidays....
The right??
How?
Try to see the bigger picture.
we as people, cán make a difference.

To be able to cook, on my way, i have to have some good gear.
I do have some outdoor coking gear, but they are actually too big and too heavy. to much bulk
So i want it all as small and foldable as possible, light weight is important too.
So, yesterday i did put a very big order at this Bushcraft shop.
So, next week i can start to learn to cook outside and start a fire, too...
See how it all works.
I have a lot of stuff already for my traveling.
The list with things to buy are getting smaller and smaller.
I like that...
They advice to take with you merino wool clothes....
So, as i do, with everything i buy for my traveling, is,
i buy one or two items, use them, wear them and see if i like them.
That way i found out, i bought a wrong head light.
It is rechargeable, but only has one way you can put that lamp on...
I am disapointed about that, i will go back to the shop and see if i can change it for a headlamp with more possiblities, more angles, too
There is sooo much nice stuff to buy and to use, very fancy stuff, too,
but to keep it at the bare minimum, is an other piece of cake!
Minimize is all i do, constantly.
Clothes can become a problem, to downzise that, would be hard work!
Also, i have to take in mind, i have to have stuff with me, i can also use when i found a place to stay.
Multiple usage of all my gear, is my goal.

It was an other day, without the alarmclock.
So, i wake up at 6:33, lovely!!
had some errands to run, shoppings, other necessary stuff.
Bought a very nice purple dress from an African lady from GHANA.
(i was her first custom of the day)
She has a very small market stand with all kind of very nice bags, all natural materials.
This dress is just a straight model, so with a belt, it will look great.
This is for me, to take with me, to France, Spain, Portugal....
The other time i was at her stand, i asked her if she had dresses with long sleaves,
She looked at me, and laughed, said it is 39-42 degrees in Ghana, we dont need long sleaves!
We both laughed about it.
she was soo true!!
She is a very nice, rather young woman, i like to buy things at her stall, just to support her.
The next time i visit her, i will take more time, to talk with her, maybe take something nice to drink or eat, with me..?
I got one rain shower, today, after that, it became a nice sunny day!
So, at the end of the afternoon, i decided to go work in my garden.
Had to put two plants in an other space....
The elder went rather will, and the small conifer, too.
Had to clean some high plant box, that was a lot of work!
But, i got it done!
My sister might want that high plant box for in their little garden....
I do feel my back, muscles in both my arms &hands, i always get muscle ache very fast.
The same day!
My hands do feel like i sanded something with them, barehanded.
My skin feels very rough.
I like that!!
No pantys, lace or stockings for me!! LOL
It was a great day, even did sit in the sunshine, enjoying the bees and wasps who liked my honey a lot!!
So, for tomorrow, there will be more garden work, but this time much more light works.
Maybe?

You must know, on my former travelings, to France, i just let my partner make the decisions, because it was my first time, i did not know anything about France.
i followed him.
Also, he liked to be the one in charge.....
Talking/ knowing the language is also helping!
BUT, now i am going on my own, so i have to battle my own battles, so to say...
Checked up on France, i knew, from before, going on a bike, was rather dangerous in France.
The France are like madmen when put behind their stearing wheel...
They did not have many bike routes, or they stopped and you had to drive on a semi highway! Freaking dangerous, especially at night...
Nowadays, they seem to have changed their idea about biking in their country.
They made bike ways, where train trails were, before
also made some bike roads, next to the rivers,
No other trafic!
Safe, for bikers!
So i am happy, i confronted the big pink elephant!
It will be a nice adventure to go on my bike, through France.
I have faith!
I even checked out the most difficult part of my ride,
in France......
I take an other route, that will take more time, but hey! I am in no hurry, at all!
I dont want to take to the big mountains.
I want to take it easy and slow...

It is like spring, overhere
It is almost 20 degrees, and raining.
It is totall madness
I can sit outside, put on a fire.
It is october!!
It should be cold!
Not that i dont like this weather at this moment
But, we all know, this is not as it suppose to be!!
All over the world!
It is still dark, too early in the afternoon, i have to put on the lights inside, to be able to see what i am cooking..
But the temps are really great, actually.
A bit more sunshine would make my day.
This is not too bad, for my Seasonal Affective Disorder.
dreading the autumn, winter times, year after year
