New bag

Wat ben ik ontzettend blij met mijn prachtige leren aktetas. Mijn laptop en boeken kunnen er in: en zo kan ik als een echte ambtenaar op pad. I am very happy with my beautiful leather briefcase.  I can take my laptop and books with me now.

It took me a while to get these very peaceful pictures: no MP’s, ministers, or journalists on it. I think the Tweede Kamer is one of the most beautiful modern buildings [...]

Camera Crew

Every Tuesday I’m organising the weekly Question Hour in Dutch parlement. A lot off phone calls, e-mails and conversation with the speaker of the house. Today there was a camera crew following what I’m doing every week. I was pretty stressed – I had so much work to do -, so I’ll probably have a head [...]
