		<title>A Family Weekend in the Ardennes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[17 and 18 July, the erpeltjes+entourage spent a weekend in La Roche en Ardenne. The occasion was that a certain someone did not want to throw a big party for her big 5-0, but instead wanted to have a nice weekend with her family, and I think we succeeded in that. On the morning of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dr. M.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four and a half weeks ago I defended my Ph.D. thesis at Tilburg University, so I&#8217;m a dr. now! I&#8217;m glad that it&#8217;s over, although I had a great time at Naturalis, Tilburg and exploring the world (OK, the last few months going through the text over and over again to spot any more typos, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roadtripping around the UK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The advantage of having friends that live in exotic places is that every now and then you need to take a week off from work to go visit them. So it was that at the beginning of May Steve and I went to see Judith on the isle Skye to revisit some late Leiden nights [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring is on its way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes it&#8217;s still cold in Amsterdam, but not as cold as it was (more than 5 degrees above zero), it&#8217;s light when I wake up in the morning, it&#8217;s getting dark later, there&#8217;s even some sunshine (this morning started off sunny, then there was some fog, and then there was sun again)&#8230;the thing that really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heron in Florida</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t foggy when I took this picture, but as it was very warm and humid outside (and colder and less humid inside) my camera lens fogged immediately when I went outside.]]></description>

		<title>Gold old fashioned black and white photos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I finally finished the film that was still in my mother&#8217;s SLR since Paul and my road trip this summer. So I took it to get developed, scared because I hadn&#8217;t really used a proper camera in quite a while, and also because I generally just have no clue what I&#8217;m doing. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Variation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never complained about my life being boring, simply because I just have a very cool life. The past two weeks have again been full of exciting things. Such as getting to talk about my work during a presentation, in front of a camera for a little research video and in a phone interview for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amsterdam life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after almost two months of living in Amsterdam the novelty is slightly wearing off. I&#8217;m not getting lost anymore on the way to work (which is handy) and I&#8217;m also shortening the time it takes to get to work (going from 40 mins, although that included putting my bike chaing back on twice to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A weekend in Liverpool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of vague plans revolving around mum and me going on a citytrip, we finally went on Sept. 18. It wasn&#8217;t easy picking a destination as there are still so many cool places we haven&#8217;t seen, but Liverpool was high on mum&#8217;s list because she is a Beatles fan and had never been there.
