It’s been awhile since I wrote something. Truth be told, I’ve missed the sound of my fingers typing on the keyboard, the smooth movements, the ideas flowing through my head while I’m typing. What has been stopping me then? A lack of motivation for one, but also no ideas for a good blog post. The […]
How to come up with ideas for blogging
It is with great irony that I present you this article on getting more ideas to blog about. It’s not like I’m the most productive person when it comes to writing blog posts, although it’s not the lack of ideas that’s stopping me.

West Highland Way Dag 1
Vanmorgen bij de start in Milngavie bleek dat we niet de enigen waren die op het briljante idee waren gekomen de West Highland Way te lopen. Het was heerlijk weer en dat was een goed begin. Deze etappe vergde nog geen gekke inspanningen qua stijgen of dalen en dat was maar goed ook. Zo kunnen […]
