Good morning friends.
\nGood morning computer.
\nGood morning Internet.
\nGood morning blog!<\/p>\n

Last week – Friday evening – the computer went black.
\nDead.
\nOver and out….<\/p>\n

My beloved tested everything and anything – but the poor thing
\nhad to go to the specialist. (the computer that is, not my beloved)
\nIt took days… days in which I managed to get the guest post for Quirky
\nDutch Summer online via our ’emergency computer’ which has a very
\nsmall screen, a MOUSE (- eeeckkk – I always work with a tablet and pen)
\nand no access to my photos, my stuff whatsoever.<\/p>\n

That’s why I was not able to visit my haiku friends last week.
\nThat’s why I was awfully quiet on the Internet.
\nI was forced to take a vacation from the world wide web!<\/p>\n

The computer is fixed but my beloved took the opportunity to use
\nour ‘forced vacation’ for cleaning our office space. It’s not done yet so –
\nalthough I do have access to the web again – I will have to stay out of
\nthis room for the next days.<\/p>\n

I use this one hour I have on the computer to p0st photos I made last days.
\n(Oh, and I even wrote a haiku!)<\/p>\n

Sooo, what did I do while I was off of the computer.
\nFun stuff!
\n\"art<\/a><\/p>\n

The weather was beautiful so I took all the spray ink outside and
\nmade me some bright colored backgrounds yesterday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, my son enjoyed sitting in the garden, watching me play
\nand read his music magazines that he got for his birthday.
\nYep, it was his birthday (20 years old… WoWZah!)<\/p>\n

I noticed his bracelets… bright colored, woven bracelets that he got
\nwhen he visited music festivals. (When I was young, they put a stamp on your
\nhand when you went to a concert or festival, as a token that you payed.
\nI like these bracelets a lot more then the stamps in those days!)<\/p>\n

\"rock<\/a><\/p>\n

I took a photo of his arm and wrote a haiku for Haiku my Heart Friday.<\/p>\n

\"rock<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fel gekleurde armbandjes.<\/p>\n

Stille getuigen van een leven<\/p>\n

gevuld met muziek<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nBright colored bracelets.<\/p>\n

Silent witnesses of a<\/p>\n

life filled with music.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(I can’t get the syllables right in the Dutch translation – but never mind…)<\/p>\n

If you like to see more photos and read more haiku –
\nhop on over to the list of participants<\/a> on Rebecca’s blog.<\/p>\n

(I hope to be able to visit all the participants later this weekend or next week,
\nI’ll do my best!)<\/p>\n

I have to go now… beloved is waving with the cleaning cloth and
\nthreatening me with the vacuum cleaner…
\nHave a nice weekend you all!
\nGo outside and spray some ink!
\nGo weave a bracelet!
\nSee you soon!<\/p>\n

P.S. There will be a Quirky Dutch Summer<\/a> post next Tuesday and
\na ‘Buried treasure’<\/a> post on Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
