Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while :cheer:

Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on :p

Progress in filling up the bookcase in our new house :d All of the boxes we already brought there are now emptied and gone into the bookcase, I'm sure I still have some random stuff laying around here at home/old home, but I'm sure I'll get to that :p 

 

And yes, they are definitely going to be put in a nicer position and so on, instead of this mess (like putting them nice and standing up and such), but I needed to empty all the boxes and kind of sort them a bit, so I can work on making it nice late. Right is sports, left is non-sports (with a large majority of that being related to history) :d

    • Also a first: never before has a Dutch pair participated in the games, according to media rapports.
    • The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
    • Ida Lien (biathlon) - back surgery - out for the season.
    • Road to Junior World Championship International Test Matches   Sunday 21st December, 2025 ---------------------------------   -   1-6  -   1-3
    • Ouch for China, losing Gold in three disciplines, not even making to GMM in one...all in front of a home crowd.
    • Morocco won with second-half goals of Brahim Díaz and El Kaabi      Morocco  2 - 0  Comores
    • I think the points from the test event should be simple to figure out since WC points from 15th on (continuing through the nations cup races) just count down by 1. Why would it be any different? The only thing that would be uncertain is whether Li and Fischnaller get 1 or 0.
