Last week, my part time employer the VARA celebrated its 85 years anniversary. At one point a big cake was brought into the room and a singer got out of it. She sang a song about, who would have guessed, the VARA history. All in all it was a very enjoyable evening.

Sunday I was at Manuscripta. It’s the grand opening of the new book season. At the end of the day I met a fuzzy girl in a bear suit. She was handing out flyers. I asked her if it wasn’t too hot for a bear suit, but she said it was fine. A week earlier at the Uitmarkt it was bad though: it was raining cats and dogs so the suit got quite soaked. Posing as a bear seems like a tough job.
