14th October 2022 – In went to pick up a model of a houten waal at the Belgian border with France. It is probably one of the most detailed models I’ve ever seen.
Aboard Tordino, I spent most of the day scanning documents I received earlier this week.
13th October 2022 – We had a very enthusiastic group of people coming from Bruges. The good thing about such a groups are the interaction where both parties learn from each other.
7th October 2022 – The online inventory system wasn’t not online, so I could only scan. Sitting behind a computer for a few hours is not longer possible for me, so I mounted a few extra screens for digital content.
5th October 2022 – There was a group of retired police officers that came visiting Tordino in the late afternoon. When they left , I continued scanning and inputting the data into the inventory system…
4th October 2022 – Just did some scanning, mounting frames and cleaning up the museum. Nothing really special, but all jobs that had to be done.
3rd October 2022 – In the evening I went to see a teacher who has roots in the inland waterways. Her whole family were skippers. I left with hundreds of photos, some nice objects and a table from her parents ship.
2nd October 2022 – I scanned over a hundred covers of books I had bought yesterday at the museum.

28th September 2022 – Just another evening of scanning, so much more to go…
27th September 2022 – I did some scanning yesterday and continued today. After moving the library units, I didn’t want to put back the unscanned magazines, so all I can do now is scanning and scanning… Since it is raining, there are no other jobs to do anyway.
25th September 2022 – I put the remaining cupboards of the Library of the Watergeus in the library of Tordino. It gives an extra storage addition for new books. While rebuilding some parts of the library, I now also have much more space to add new items on Houten walen to the running exhibition.
In the afternoon, we cleaned some of the presentation boxes. Slightly preparing for the next summer!
23rd September 2022 – I found some time to do a few small jobs aboard Tordino. Two broken computer boxes were replaced, the library is cleaner again and a few lights were added or replaced. I made some space for new cupboards and that’s it for now…
