Was die Fußballer nicht geschafft haben, setzten die Handballer im eigenen Land um. Deutschland ist nicht nur Weltmeister der Herzen, sondern auch wirklich Weltmeister!

GLÜCKWUNSCH --- Kjell

A great game --- Kjell

... bald ist es vorbei mit lustig ...

Der Platten Nummer 6 heute war für mich zuviel. Meine Nerven liegen nackt und verbrauchen Unmengen an Energie.
Nun habe ich keinen Ersatz mehr, beim nächsten Platten ist erstmal vorbei mit Lustig. Ich muss mir was überlegen. Die Schläuche die ich habe sind kaum bis nicht mehr "Flickbar"!
Zum Glück habe ich eine ganz lieb und hilfbereite Mom, die mir sofort 5 neue Schläuche von Deutschland zuschickt. Hoffe die kommen so schnell wie möglich an!
Ich drück die Daumen und bitte lass es Morgen und Übermorgen und sonst auch keinen Platten mehr geben. DANKE --- Viele Grüße Kjell

my little sister back home ...

My little sister Sinje is having fun with her new horse Hansa. The start was difficult. But now they start to have the real fun, I guess. The only thing that concerns is the weather. [the place]

All the best Sinje --- your brother Kjell

le Tour de Langkawi [stage 1.] ...

Today was raceday on Langkawi. It gave me the big push, beeing tired after all the hours of training. It was the first stage of the Tour de Langkawi 2007.

the Start - watch it on YOUTUBE!

The finsh was fast and over in just a second like roadbike races allways. I will enjoy the rest of my restingday and have a long day on my bike tomorrow (180km).

Enjoy the little Startmovie and happy training --- Kjell

Lunch Time ...

Hello Mrs. Cow! How is Lunch ;-)
Enjoy you food --- Kjell

Chicken feeding ...

The Kanponchicken are everywhere. All different in color, size and behavior. My friend is feeding some (between 15-30 chicken), so they decided to live arround and on the house. Here some pictures and sometimes a couple eat the rice out of your hands. That is fun and the don´t care if it is rice or you hand ;-)

I hope that this is right that they are called kampon-chicken. If not and you know better let me know, thanks! Try to Google it, but to many (72 - small number a google) other results: GOOGLE

Have a great day --- Kjell

»Einer, der ausgezog, um …« im Biest-Blog

» Einer, der ausgezog, um … «
"Kjell, eines der treuesten Biester, sendete diesen Beitrag vor einigen Tagen aus Malaysia. Ich denke zur Zeit regelmäßig an Kjell. Vielleicht kommt das daher, dass ich derzeit so in den Alltag eingespannt bin, dass mich das Fernweh immer wieder packt. Fernweh ist ja meist ein etwas romantisches Gefühl und hat mit der Realität nur begrenzt etwas zu tun, wie man das auch aus Kjells Bericht entnehmen kann. Ich kenne dieses ambivalente Gefühl des Glücks und des Schmerzes zu eben der selben Zeit, wenn man in der Ferne weilt."
[Zitat: Biest-Blog und Einleitung meines kleiner kleinen Reflexion]

Auf und davon - Kjell
