Trajecti Voces

TODAY WAS GOOD.
Yes, that's true. But today it was really very good. I was enjoying a beautiful christmas concert performed by Trajecti Voces, at Geertekerk in Utrecht. To get an impression watch this short video I found on You Tube.

The performance at Geertekerk, Utrecht was absolutely amazing. Playing old Czech Christmas pieces (Zelenka, Tuma), serving svařák (glühwein). What can you wish more? I "got some chills" when Murni Suwetja, soprano, started singing.....

If you ever get a chance, go for it! You will not be disappointed!
After concert I walked in the dark and cold city but inside of me I was warm (not only from glühwein) and happy. Everybody and everything was happy at this moment. Even the canal houses seemed to be happy...

Without music, life would be a mistake.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

Eating two apples a day is good for health, according to a EU research conducted by 300 scientists at 60 institutes at a cost of almost 14 million euros.

Excellent news. The research also concluded that the best way to have nice apples and peaches is to soak them in hot water a couple of dozens of seconds. No wonder that some politicians called the research findings “bizarre and ridiculous”.

But now we know it for sure: for the first time, the effect of eating apples is scientifically proven. 

Thus. It is worth of 14 000 000 euro.

Kraaien vergeten nooit een gezicht...

Toen ik deze kraaien afgelopen winter zag dacht ik aan een artikel die ik op internet vond. Er stond dat kraaien menselijke gezichten kunnen onthouden. Dus oppassen als je leilijk tegen ze doet!!! Lees verder....
