So incredible

April 29, 2011 By Marit 21 Comments

… the grade my son got for the course ‘Statistics’ at the University (8.7!!)

… the evening I spend with him on a large square in Eindhoven

… the free concert that Ilse the Lange gave there last night

… the photos Nout made…

… and her song So incredible!

I like Ilse de Lange

I don’t like Queen, but I had this stamp of a fat lady on a bicycle

I could not resist

Queen – Bicycle race (for Songs in my heART)

(Skinny card 3 x 5 inch)

Did I just mention ‘Queen’???

It seems to be all about Royalties these days… tomorrow we have our own
‘Queens Day’ in the Netherlands (I’ll tell you about it next week) and today
the world is under the spell of ‘the royal marriage’ in Great Britain.

Shall I say something about that???

Naaahhh… I will quote Tim Dowling who wrote a poem in the The Guardian

“Wish two crazy kids the best,
Line the route and pray it’s sunny.
God bless this waste of public money.”

(read the complete poem here)

Happy weekend dear ones!

    How fun to go to a concert with your son! I had not heard of Ilse before, it’s fun to get introduced to new music through your blog! She is beautiful, and has a beautiful voice too! Congrats to Nout on his awesome grade!

    Zo Marit, die zoon van jou is super getalenteerd zeg! Wat een geweldig cijfer en wat een schitterende foto’s van Ilse! Mijn complimenten hoor!
    En ja, het koningshuis….we kunnen er lang en breed over discussiëren maar ik hou ervan! Vond het vandaag ook helemaal geweldig om naar te kijken! Maar ik moet toegeven: dat gedicht is heel goed!!

    Wat een mooie foto’s heeft Nout van Ilse de Lange gemaakt,en een gratis concert nog wel….. mazzelaars. Grappige skinny! Ik ben ook niet zo’n queens fan, hoewel er een paar liedjes zijn die ik wel mooi vind. Ik hou er wél van ons koningshuis. Het hoort bij ons land vind ik! Koninginnendag…. het heeft wat, heel het land oranje. Oh, en ik ga graag van de zomer met je op kamp!
