### Making money In the time of a new dip, I am writing my blog here. Relaxed? No, not that either. But then again, watching doesn't make it any better. Unfortunately, I had no dollars or euros to buy the dip, so all it takes is sit it out again and hope it doesn't mean the end of the bull market! So then I switch to making money instead of seeing my losses accumulate. Well, temporary losses I hope ... ### Getting groceries is always a thing ... It can be nice when you visit another store, when you see something different like a sterile supermarket with faded vegetable products on the shelves. A store where you see really fresh products that come straight from the land is a relief in that respect. And if that store also exists on your street, then that is a big plus. Exactly… a local shop, farm shop… whatever you want to call it. It can really be a godsend. Although it is not the case that I will do all my daily shopping at this store for the simple reason that they are not the cheapest. And as much as I would like to give other people their income, how much I would like to pay a little more for really tasty fresh products ... I have to pay too much attention to the budget myself, so as a result I usually go to the cheaper supermarket in the village, and buy the less fresh products there. Simply because the wallet would not allow it otherwise. <br>  <br> ### Visit the local shop But if I go to the shop here in the street because I need eggs, for example… because they are cheaper in this farm shop, then I also enjoy them even more. And yes, I also take a few other things with me. It's really not like this store has everything. No of course not. The products are fresh from the land. So you depend on seasonal products, but did you know that those are the most tasty products? <br>  <br> ### Fresh seasonal veggies! Yes it is true, seasonal vegetables are always tastier… because they are still fresh. No flavor is lost through freezing or preserving in any way. Really just FRESH. That's the most tasty, and for me ... the ideal way to eat vegetables. I have never been a huge vegetable lover. Of course that already changed when I got to know my partner. He had been eating strictly vegetarian for years, so I grew more and more and soon the meat and fish dishes disappeared from the menu as well. In the first instance, that meant that I had to learn to eat things that I had said for years that I did not like. It turned out that I didn't like it and some vegetables that I previously refused to eat are now quite on my menu as being 'favorites'. That also meant that another world opened up when it comes to cooking. ### Supermarktets often don't have fresh veggies But also the way I choose my groceries in the store has changed. And now it really struck me how often there are vegetables for sale in the supermarket that just shouldn't be sold because they have almost passed their expiration date, or simply have not been kept fresh at all. ### And in that respect it is ideal to walk for fifteen minutes to go to the local shop of my neighbors. <br>  <br> ### It's also some 'ME-time' I would prefer to do that with a dog, but that is not such a smart idea so when I go there I just walk back and forth. And let me be honest, it is also nice to be able to look at my surroundings without dogs without having to keep one eye on the dog and the other eye on the environment to find out if I have another owner. Walking with a dog, or my dog starting to bounce like an idiot because suddenly a deer appears from the woods. ### Enjoy my environment It is also very nice to be able to enjoy the surrounding peace alone, and to be able to view the beauty of my living environment again in peace and quiet. I often think that I have written enough about these few square meters around me, but I also have to keep realizing that I have a privilege to be able to live in this area. Because many would be more than happy to swap with me, and would no doubt be happy to experience this tranquility. Although there are of course many others who would not like to enjoy peace and quiet day in, day out, in such a rural environment. And they would really get bored here very quickly. Because there is no pub, no large supermarket, no shopping center and no cinema or stadium close by. The nearest large city is Den Bosch, 13 kilometers away. <br>  <br> ### No shopping mall, cinema or other social happening here The busy, hurried life is quite passable here. We live more with nature and the 24-hour society is not so present here. For me it is sometimes as if I have been thrown back in time… but also more thrown back at myself. And yes, ... <br>  <br> # Sometimes that is not so nice. And at other times very nice ...
