Blue Monday

Tomorrow is the day, not from me, shrinks made it up. From what I can remember it was an assignment from a travel agency to a psychologist what would be the best time to promote sun holidays. The third Monday of the new year was diagnosed. That is the most depressing day of the year. Gloomy weather, good intentions have failed and the entire half of the Western world is still angry at the scale, that bitch. Recently we were at the concert of Trijntje Oosterhuis in the Dominicus Church in Mokum enjoying the truly fantastic sounds of Trijn when suddenly we heard the very old woman in front of us whisper in her husband's ear 'oops, I think I farted for a very long time'. What should I do, she asked her husband. To which the man replied 'quickly put new batteries in your hearing aid.

You see, I don't suffer from blue days and as for the good intentions, they have never come true and they probably never will. Because things always go differently than you think. And it really is true, things always go differently than you think. Just think about it, it really always works. Even if it doesn't work, it still works. So I thought I would write a nice Newsblog at the beginning of this week, not too busy, that will work out. Suddenly the Amaryllis growers come around the corner with the question whether we already have a bit of an idea of ​​what we think we need for next year. Also the message comes from Harley, Qdaffs.us, that he wants to put the varieties on-line. And then suddenly the Dahlia growers come with the question which varieties they should grow for us next summer.

Of course, these lists are mostly ready, but before they are confirmed, we want to take another good look at them.

So, I'm going to throw the pen aside for a moment. Amaryllis and Narcissus are ready, Dahlia not yet, I'm going to continue with that now. In the coming month I will tell and show why the Dahlia growers already want to know what they should produce for us. They are going to take cuttings and I will make a nice report of that.

Qdaffs.us is now live, over 450 varieties that will soon be offered with the Fluwel Special Narcissus. Beautiful website, fun to take a look.

I'll see you again next week,

Kind regards,

Carlos van der Veek
