There are two silverbirds in my street. They prefer to rest their legs on the top of a car, rather than get into the water. And yet they love staring at the canal surface. I guess they must be kind'of city birds.



I guess I'm kind'of a city person, but at least there is some red Kenyan sand on a green shelve in my cupboard. Please don't blame me for stealing some more of the African resources and bring it to the Netherlands. I plead not guilty. It was brought to me by a friend… The only sand I ever took from there was in my hair. And stardust in my hands!



If you head north of Addis Ababa the horizon starts to become dusty. A bit further and you're walking on the moon, or at least it seems, as if the landscape has fallen down from somewhere in that direction...



Don’t forget, if ever you encounter two lilac lizards before your door, it wasn't me who sent them. But still, I hope this won't stop you from treating them with endless hospitality. Try catch a fly. Then try it again. Good luck...
