This is the home of either a small solitary bee or wasp, or a largish trap spider, though the latter is unlikely because I didn’t see any spinning-work or a trap door. It’s in the little alley that runs to the street between our house and the house next door. I saw something black and pea-sized disappear in it when I took my bicycle to the street to go and take the picture of the bug poster.

Nothing tastes as good as home-made strawberry jam. Well, no jam does, at least.
We bought a kilo of ripe strawberries and a kilo of geleisuiker (with added pectin and citric acid) and followed the instructions. It’s phenomenally easy. Cleaning the strawberries is most of the work.

KPN is offering wireless internet with an advertisement that features something alarmingly like a bug.
The text reads: This summer in the garden: Direct ADSL from KPN, safe wireless internet. The orange circle offers the first month free and a free wireless modem.
The ‘bug’ is in fact a very flat laptop, not a wireless card as I thought when I first passed it.

Orthodox Christians should write and paint and sing and dance. We should make movies and television shows. We should make clothes and produce textiles as art as well (the fullness of culture is itself too large to describe in a sentence, a paragraph or even a book). And in all these activities, they will be expressive of the fullness of our humanity without having to stick an icon on everything to prove its Orthodoxy.
