You can talk with your hands, when you are deaf. But ofcourse there are situations that you want to use your hands as means of expression even if you can hear the shuffeling of the moon.

Mother Goose

click picture to play or enlarge
This is not about the fairy tale. It's about the condition of baby geese when getting out of their egg they choose their mama from the first thing in sight that's alive or moves. For instance, there are geese that consider the tractor as their mother. This one chooses the garden gnome.

Animation

click picture to play or enlarge
Did see Howl's Moving Castle and did see Cars. Both distributed by Disney. One made by Disney. Did not expect much from "Cars". Only saw non-moving pictures in advance. Totally disliked the eyes of the cars.
In the movie the eyes are perfect. And yes it is an old fashioned love story, and it is a story which longs after days gone by ( way too romantic, so totally Disney, it makes you want to puke). For me it is a total surprise that I believe the characters, I really love everything that happens. It makes me sick how much I enjoy this movie, but I really enjoyed it. You probably think, "Wow, this guy is really Dutch."But you should think, he's right, it is a wonderful movie.
The real wonder however is Howl's Moving Castle. There are no words for this beauty. ..............

Walk

OK, man. Walk the walk. (And talk the talk). A friend yesterday said: "Be special, act normal". He said it as a quote not a command, ofcourse.

A swimming christmas

click picture to play or enlarge
Tuesday early morning, my close buddy Janus and I swim. With a lot of old folks, mainly ladies. I keep forgetting that 53 years might be considered old by others, but I refuse to be called old.
Next two weeks the swimming pool is closed because of christmas holidays. And today the two life guard ladies did put tea lights all around the swimming pool and invited us out of the water for tea or coffee with christmas bread, apple pie or plum pie. Sad and good news at the table.
The lady that was not there today had discoverd a bad case of cancer in her body and the older man in the group became great-grandfather last week. Happy Christmas.

Boerenkool

Wintertime = time for different mashed potatoe dishes. This is about kale. Literally translated from dutch it would be "farmer's cabbage". With smoked sausage and bacon. Normally the sausage has no intersections. I made it that way for a game.

Not a new idea. Sempé was a master in opposing the tiny individual to the pompous society. I think Steinberg made similar ideas in some of his drawings.
