Het was weer #LekkerOpDeTrekker vanochtend… alleen het domme werk gedaan, in de zon achterop de planter plugjes in het apparaat gestopt - afgewisseld met er achteraan lopen voor het herstellen van wat foutjes.

Koolrabi, rettich, venkel en biet - dit jaar meer kleine banen met meer variatie.

Het seizoen op de #herenboerderij is van start!

Het aantal mensen dat langer moet wachten op een uitkering wegens arbeidsongeschiktheid neemt de komende jaren met duizenden toe. Dat meldt uitkeringsinstantie UWV in zijn nieuwste jaarverslag. ‘De regeling is nu zo ingewikkeld dat die bijna niet meer is uit te voeren.’

It will be named “Henichesk” in honor of our ship that was lost while carrying out a combat mission in June 2022 near the Kinburn Spit.

This is already the fifth vessel in our future mine countermeasure fleet and the second provided specifically by the Netherlands.

Oh jeez, a new track from Massive Attack!

https://youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE
