From the garden with my cat-friends - 19th of August

From the garden with my cat friends, this afternoon. The size of the video was too large to upload directly here, so you can watch it on Google Drive on this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CLQtpQj-2Nifus6BJLjTEzGbSjL0qdvb/view?usp=drive_link

 

"Open letters to an Earl"

You may read this private, password-protected post called "Open letters to an Earl". However choosing to read it is your responsibility. It is a very intense post, giving the access key to other platforms you did not know existed. So if you do not want to know about them, it's your right - do not open this private post. If you choose to open and read it, you do not have the right to discuss of it with anyone, including me, as my aim is not to hear criticism, but rather to make Red-Oak feel that his current position of silence is absolutely not sustainable, and that I will absolutely not give up on this quest. On the contrary, I will carry on with this quest to help Annelies heal from her childhood trauma, and obtain Justice for what happened to me, and I am ready to write even stronger words than I have written till now (but I do not want to directly hurt the reputation of Red-Oak, that is the only limit that I've set). This is the link to the private post, you may choose to read, or not to read: https://amchitdordrecht.wordpress.com/2025/08/19/open-letters-to-an-earl/

  

From the garden this evening - 18th of August

From the garden around our house this evening... 

Preparing the first green olives

My jogging along the sea today... 

While preparing the first olives from the olive trees I take care of. It's an antique way of preparing the first green olives, beating them with a pebble before placing them in a jar with water, raw salt and olive oil. In that way, their bitterness fades away faster, in just two weeks. (video and photo taken by Golden-Feather, my sister).

And this is a video taken by the Wiseman-of-the-Sea (my father) from Ehmej, a village in the mountains above Amchit, where he and my brother participated to a 10 km marathon today. They saw a shepherd with his goats along the trail...

The pictures are also taken by my father...

While swimming - 16th of August

Dear friends,

Today there is no daily video, because the one I recorded is private for the family of Annelies.

But those are a picture and a very short video taken by my father of some of the vegetables / fruits I picked from the garden I plant, while I swam, today.

 

As I said many times already, I will not be silenced by Red-Oak, even if he is an Earl. I will obtain justice and recognishment. And my silence on this blog means that I am in the meanwhile working on several interesting projects, to cut a door in the wall of silence Red-Oak has forcefully surrounded the entire family of Annelies with.

While picking mango fruits

While picking a mango fruit from the garden by the sea... In swimsuit because it was still quite hot... Today was the feast of the Holy Virgin, an important feast for Christians, in Lebanon, a national holiday. That's why we went to the family garden by the sea... 

And that's me with part of my harvest today...

What I do with the organic wastes

As I do not compress my videos as much as I used to, to ensure a better quality, the video today was too large to be uploaded here. For that reason, you can watch it on this Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E4Ex89qaQ_WDndRQmVpAgt-z6nfhD7vF/view?usp=drive_link

I show you in this video what I do with the organic wastes!

I'm not wearing a shirt because I was doing my jogging and it was too warm (there is a one week long heat wave here...)

I believe that Annelies has expressed her will very clearly, Red-Oak. You need to listen to your daughter's pain related to her childhood wound. You need to understand her, and to open her heart to her, and to her mother, Green-Rose. If someone external to this story reads all the literature that is publicly available on the internet, I think that this is what they will clearly understand from all the blogs and platforms. 

You're the only one who is still not understanding, Red-Oak. Or perhaps you are understanding, but you prefer to continue believing into your lies, because you're too proud to admit your faults!

"Bonus" videos

Usually we would not take videos of such ordinary moments. 

But as my family knows about all this story, and support me in my quest, they sometimes make the effort to capture those ordinary moments in order to send them to the family of Annelies, and show to them we are human beings, as they are, with culture, with dreams, with goodness, etc.

Yesterday there was very loud music coming from our neighbors in our garden by the sea. I don't know if it was a marriage, or a birthday. But the music was super loud, and you're going to hear it in the videos. So my father found it funny to take videos of me with the music. My brother had a bit of pain in his ankle, so he did not play soccer with me.

This is me, during my soccer practice.

And this is me, jogging.

There are more videos, but those are sent privately to Red-Oak and the other familiars of Annelies.

And those pictures are taken by my sister...

Pictures of me taken by my sister

You can look on this link to the pictures of me my sister took today, in our garden by the sea. These pictures are well-representative of who I am.
