Ce sont des robinsons malades : il leur faut piétiner le bleu. Des plages n’y suffisent pas, ni de longues stations dans les ports, accoudés au parapet de pierre, ni leurs collections d’images peintes, leurs croix de fer forgé, leurs idoles de plastique ou de bois peint, leurs carnavals et leurs cortèges commémoratifs. Il leur faut encore des mots insolvables et des figures de rhétorique, des phrases où la pensée flotte dans des habits trop grands, des fleurs en bouquets ou en pots, des symboles, des rites et des systèmes, toutes sortes de machines fabriquant des éclairs et de la fumée, de grandioses mises en scènes de Naissances et d’Apocalypses. Prêter à leur âme des contours, la mettre en boîte, et s’enfermer avec elle dans ce sépulcre, le dos tourné au bleu du ciel.
Jean-Michel Maulpoix, Une histoire de bleu (1992)

Bog’s blog week 1
Yaaay premier blog d’une longue série. Enfin, c’est le plan… Voilà une grosse semaine que nous avons fait nos aurevoires à nos chères et tendres liègeois(es) et il est temps de vous donner une petite update. Une chose est sûre, le départ a été déchirant. Le concept du départ implique toujours les gens qui partent et ceux qui restent. Ceux qui partent doivent reconstruire leurs fondations sans leurs racines et ceux qui restent ont un grand vide à combler. Ces deux groupes se différencient car l’un amorce le changement, l’autre le subit. Je suis sincèrement désolé qu’on ait eu à vous laisser derrière mes lecteurs adorés. On vous aurait tous pris avec si ça ne tenait qu’à nous. J’espère que quand le deuil de nos vies ensemble sera consommé, on pourra s’atteler à faire de nos retrouvailles une réalité.
Le voyage s’est passé sans trop de problème. Il a eu son lot de stress et de bonnes surprises. Par exemple, le bus qui nous amenait de Bruxelles jusqu’à Frankfurt nous a déposé directement à l’aéroport. Nous avons également été accueilli par la famille Robinson à 3 heure du matin à l’aéroport d’Auckland avec un magnifique Bouquet de fleur pour Kate.
Les premiers jours dans notre nouvelle vie avec Kate ont été intense émotionnellement. Ils le sont toujours après un grand changement, même si c’est ma cinquième traversée. Comme ils disent dans « bienvenu chez les Chti » : Un étranger pleure deux fois, quand il arrive et quand il part.
Les difficultés viennent de différents angles :
- Fatigue liée au décalage horaire.
- Manque d’activité physique.
- Besoin de trouver sa place dans cette nouvelle dynamique, nouvelle communauté.
- Vie sociale sérieusement amputée.
- Absence de plan court, moyen terme pour lesquels se réjouir.
- Organisation des choses basiques pour se sentir chez soi.
Nous avions connaissance des challenges à venir et on essaie de mettre tout en place pour avoir une transition aussi douce que possible. La stabilité est l’objectif principal.
Pour la fatigue, le problème se résout de lui-même. L’alcool est à éviter. Pour l’instant je n’ai bu que 6 bières (et une coupe de champagne en arrivant… et quelques cocktails dans l’avion…). Je jure que je fais un effort. N’oubliez pas que c’est le début de l’été ici.
Il y a un terrain de tennis à 3-4 km de chez Robinson. Le temps a été assez misérable depuis qu’on est arrivé. On était aussi fort occupé chaque soir. On a donc décidé qu’on allait s’organiser pour y aller à partir de la semaine prochaine. C’est la première fois qu’on fera un sport compétitif en couple. J’espère qu’on sera capable de laisser les « hard feelings » on the court. Je peux déjà vous dire que ça risque de chauffer. La suite au prochain épisode.
Nous sommes actuellement extrêmement rouillés. Il faudra quelques sessions avant qu’on puisse s’engager dans un affrontement.
L’escalade est sur pause pour l’instant étant donné que 90% de notre équipement est à Rotterdam et attend le feu vert pour naviguer jusqu’à nous. Dès qu’on a une occasion pour aller au nord d’Auckland, on s’arrêtera à une des deux salles de bloc qu’il y a up there. Malheureusement, elles sont trop loin pour être inclue dans notre routine.
J’ai fait pas mal de recherche pour le Kitesurf. Encore une fois, les meilleurs spots sont au nord d’Auckland et y parvenir implique des heures de trafic horrible. Il y a deux options de notre côté d’Auckland. Soit à l’ouest à port waikato (où on surf normalement) mais le spot n’est pas idéal pour Kate qui débute. Soit à l’est, mais je n’y suis jamais allé. En fonction de la direction du vent et dès que les planètes s’alignent, nous ferons une sortie.
Pour ce qui est du surf, nous n’avons qu’une seule planche donc il faut que je passe quelques coups de téléphones à mes contacts (mes anciennes familles d’accueil) pour en récupérer une autre. Je garde un œil sur le forecast.
Kate a recommencé à travailler mardi, après seulement 2 jours back in NZ. Elle appréhendait un peu mais ça s’est très bien passé. Je pense que ça l’aide beaucoup pour se réintégrer. Le travail a beaucoup d’avantage quand tu veux bien les voir. Kate adore se relaxer quand le boulot est fait. Elle aime le contraste. Je la comprends, une vie sans contraste est fade. Je pense aussi que rester dynamique empêche la peur, l’incertitude et le doute de s’immiscer. Sa mauvaise toux va mieux mais elle aura duré 2 semaines.
De mon côté, L’idéal serait que je puisse bosser comme kiné asap. Malheureusement, je n’ai pas résolu ce problème en amont et je dois le prendre de front en aval. Je vais donc au boulot avec Kate pour être dans une ambiance studieuse pour avancer là-dessus. En parallèle, j’apprends l’informatique, Kate me forme pour faire son travail sur le terrain et je suis censé aller bosser avec Jamie la semaine prochaine. Donc je remets doucement mes pieds dans la vie active en variant les plaisirs pour préserver mon équilibre mental. It’s all about balance.
Notre vie sociale n’est pas bien large atm. Elle comprend la famille et le travail (de Kate). Nous comptons bien l’agrandir en recontactant mes familles d’accueil, mes amis d’high school et en créant de nouvelles connaissances à travers nos activités.
On a fait « art night » mercredi dans l’atelier de Jamie et il a posté quelques photos sur instagram avec une invitation to « any artist to come around » pour la semaine d’après. Il a eu pas mal de réponses et je pense qu’on sera 4 de plus à la prochaine édition !
J’espère également qu’avec l’été viendront les opportunités sociales. Top rock nous manque profondément mais sans regret. On a tiré le maximum de goûtes de ce fût qu’on a pu.
Depuis notre arrivé, nous avons organisé pas mal de chose pour faire de la NZ notre petit nid. La chambre de Kate a été complètement rangée et réarrangée pour devenir la chambre nuptiale qu’elle est aujourd’hui ;).
L’achat d’une petite voiture est en route. Kate l’a payé 8500 $ soit 5000 euros. On doit aller la chercher mardi. C’est une Nissan March de 2016 avec 60 000 km au compteur. Elle a un tout petit moteur et ça va faire du bien au portefeuille dans le contexte actuel.
On discute beaucoup avec Jamie du projet de la tinyhouse v1. On veut commencer dès que possible. Pour l’instant le plan est de faire notre maison temporaire sur une remorque. Je vous tiens au courant lorsque les plans sont fixés.
Je suis allé au supermarché pour acheter un peu de nourriture. Cela passe aussi par-là, la sensation de se sentir chez soi. Food is important. C’est une façon facile de stabiliser ses émotions. Je suis donc allé acheter des Kumara, des garlics bread, des ginger beers, du chorizo (pour mes croques), … Tous ces petits produits néo-zélandais mettent du baume au cœur et ravivent de chouettes souvenirs.
Nous sommes partis au lac ce weekend. La météo était supposée être digne de nos pires journées belges. A savoir, une savante combinaison du froid, du vent et de la pluie. Il y avait des alertes météo sur toute la côte est.
Mais de nulle part, après une aube orageuse, le temps s’est éclairci. Il y a eu des douches occasionnelles mais rien qui ne nous empêche de faire nos activités :
- Ski nautique
- Pasta making
- Bière sur la nouvelle terrasse
- Reading
- Dessin avec des pastels
On a fait une de nos spécialités camping samedi soir, à savoir, des pâtes pesto. Les Robinson ont adoré faire des pâtes fraîche. C’était surement la seule chose qui manquait à notre recette déjà bien rodée parce que c’était divin. On a également dégusté le plus délicieux des desserts : une poêlée d’essais couronnées par une victoire et un titre de champion du monde pour l’équipe féminine de Rugby (les black ferns). Toute la nation est derrière les filles actuellement parce qu’ils passent les matchs sur la chaine public et parce qu’il faut payer un prix exorbitant pour regarder les mecs sur les chaines privées. Leur match hier soir était un grand moment de sport. Le suspense a duré jusqu’à la dernière seconde. Je les remercie pour leur effort car elles m’ont permis de dormir d’un sommeil paisible.
En résumé, nous allons très bien mais la stabilité émotionnelle qui mène à l’intégration et au bonheur prendra du temps. Je suis déterminé à le faire correctement pour pouvoir vous accueillir avec un sourire honnête et profond dès que possible !

I was researching the abject art movement, and I again encountered Doreen Garner's work. I had seen some of her pieces in passing, but I had never properly investigated the artist, so it was interesting to go back in and research her work and motives for myself. I find the way that she forces people to view her work through the incredible detail she includes, while making them appear almost repulsive. I think this ties into my practice quite well. Garner creates art as a form of activism for black women, protesting against oppressors, while also making an effort to highlight and bring awareness to the atrocities of the past, allowing her work to declare that the past will no longer go unseen.
Doreen Garner, Rack of Those Ravaged and Unconsenting (detail), 2017, silicone, foam, glass beads, fiberglass, insulation, steel meat hooks, steel pins, pearls, 96 x 96 x 96″.

Another artist I found interesting was Andrej Zunka. His works are fascinating as they create a shift from the expected reality. One series that I found striking was The Fleur, which digitally manipulated real flower species to overstate the small features which make them unique. He created really fascinating concepts, and it's amazing to realise that the concepts very nearly exist in nature already. It highlights the beauty of biodiversity, and highlights what we stand to lose should we allow these species to die out.

From 2014 she also takes on the general presentation, together with Tim Hofman. In Spuiten en Slikken she does the experiments, called Gerries Eerste Keer.

In addition, Valerio Zeno announced during the final that the winner would immediately start the day after the finale as the presenter of Spuiten en Slikken Zomertour Geraldine replaced Zarayda Groenhart for one episode. That meant that she got a role in the soap opera Onderweg naar Morgen and became a presenter of Try Before You Die. She defeated Fleur in the final with 60% of the jury points and 60% of the votes of the audience. In the end Kemper managed to become the new star of BNN after eight weeks.

She studied sports management and had a part-time job with her uncle and aunt behind the counter of a fish shop in Almere. Kemper was born and grew up in Volendam and lives in Amsterdam.

The Voetsol Legacy generation #4: The Robinson family (Luca, Cody and Lore)
The second Robinson-household of generation 4 includes Luca, Cody en Lore. When her kids were younger, Luca’s kids had a father - Maarten. It was so statisfying to see how sweet Maarten was with Cody, despite his temper. He often was impatient and even though Luca wanted to help him with that, she was too sweet and patient. Maarten knew exactly how to handle very tantrum Cody had.
Short after Cody, Lore was born. She was a little shy girl that didn’t like to be put in the spotlight, but loved her brother. It rememinded Luca of herself when she was a kid. (Even though she’s super friendly, outgoing and spontanious.) Luca and Maarten would have loved to get more kids. Luca was so proud that she was the first of her siblings that had a kid: the first two kids of generation 5. And she wouldn’t have been more proud to raise them together with Maarten.
When they just fell in love, at first they didn’t think it was a big deal that Maarten was such a lot older than Luca. It’s the woman that has to carry the child, after all. If it had been to them, they would’ve had lots of more babies. But unfortunately Maarten’s left the earth a lot older than everyone would have thought.
Cody was so sad about it...
At this moment, almost 12 years later, both Cody and Lore are almost young adults. Lore’s social skills grew and she became an insider, but sometimes in a wrong way. With her dastartly mind, she lost the charming character she had as a toddler. As a kid and a teen, she had periods of sadness. Even though her mum started dating some guy again, she never wanted to have a ‘new dad’. And Luca, of course, accepted that.
Her one year older brother Cody stayed as hot-headed als he was as a toddler. Running became his angermanagement, which did worked out perfectly combined with his active personality. Getting along with other Sims wasn’t hard for him and he had many friends in high school. That been said: Cody was ready for adulthood.
That day Luca decided to throw a new year’s eve party, didn’t bother him at all. He wasn’t such a family-Sim as his mum, but was fine with it. There was booze, after all!
And Luca? She was happy with the fact she invited her father Tijmen, the last generation 3 Sim that alive, as well as her 2 brothers and 2 sisters with their spouses and kids. Also, she invited some second cousins. Because yea, she’s family oriënted after all, right?
Loek Robinson, an outgoing goofball who loves outdoors and aspires to be a friend of the world (just like Luca), is Tijmen’s oldest son. Next to him: his youngest brother Twan Robinson.
Twan remains the Benjamin of the family, so Loek often gives him parenting advice. However, there’s one big difference between their early youth: since Loek’s and Twan’s sons are born on the same day, Twan gives Loek some advice in return every now and then.
Beside Loek, Luca and Twan there’s the twin: Fleur and Joy. Even though they’re both adults, they are the most irresponsible of Tijmen’s 6 kids. Fleur likes Sims and parties, and also likes games like ‘Don’t Wake The Llama!’.
Bram finds the game very tensioning. It makes him squint.
And at the point all of the sticks collapses, everyone’s done with the game. Bram’s pissed off, and Fleur decides one thing: playing a game with a kid every now and then is one thing. But having kids of her own? Not her thing.
A good time to go home, maybe? Nah. If it’s up to Twan, he’d stay up all night! He’s still all so excided about this confetti they bought for new year’s eve. Tijmen finds it all quite cute.
But Fleur’s twin sister Joy? She’s a little less of a party animal today, it seems. (But above all: she’s just lazy.)
