Netherlands has a national day of mourning

Today the victims will be arriving at Eindhoven airport. Finally they are home by the people where they belong. 

People can say goodbye to their beloved ones.

This is really a week of sadness.

Still people are wondering why and who.

I think it's great to stand still to this tragic incident all together.

4pm we have a moment of silence.

We did not have a national day of mourning since 1962 when Queen Whilhelmina died. 

Municipal buildings in many cities will hang the flags at half-mast today.

Many churches will ring their bells.

Also the train traffic will be shut down for one minute.

There will be no summer hits be played on the radio and also the television will be stand still on this day for the victims of the mh17. 

The Dutch windmills will stand on grieving today. 

If the blades are in mourning mode, the lower wick shifted slightly to the right. The wick is if it were something beyond the mill and that symbolizes mourning: it is past and been.

What are you doing at 4pm? Do you keep 1minute of silence? Or do you just do nothing and keep doing what you do?

What is your meaning of this day of grief?

I will put a candle on for the victims of mh17 and keep 1minute of silence. 

I hope the victims will rest in peace here in their own country with the people they loved.

Pray for MH17

Goodbye darling,

Goodbye friend,

Goodbye neigbor on the other end.

Goodbye colleague,

Goodbye child,

We're going to a a place here near by.

Goodbye pilot,

Goodbye little son.

Hoping to be loved again whole days long.

Last words, last goodbyes,

Before you step into that airplane and fly high in the sky.

Never knew, never thought

A holliday, business trip ended and stopped.

There is no why, there is no how

Only a empty place feeling hollow.

Maybe I don't know you,

But I feel the pain.

Images entering into my brain.

I don't know how, I don't know why.

Why that airplane crashed in the sky.

Let us put a light on for them,

In memorie of all the passengers of the Malaysia airplane MH17.

Coffee cocktail!!!

Last year I've made such a great icecream cocktail with a good friend of mine! 

He saw this recipe in a magazine and we are 2 coffee addicts so we really have to try to make this.

There is only one thing, or maybe 2: this is NOT a healthy recipe and it's NOT pregnancy proof!

What you need is:

Cup of coffee (cool down)

3 tbsp Baileys

Vanilla icecream 

Grated almond

Serve in nice cocktail glasses (optional)

Add the vanilla icecream in a glass. Add the baileys over the icecream and at last the coffee.

Top it of with the grated almond.

This is a nice coffee dessert for warm days like these! 

Enjoy!

I know that this recipe is not healthy but sometimes you must treat yourself with this warm weather!

Enjoy your warm day!
