When in passing Victor noticed the deer’s head, he suggested to mount it on the wall as a trophy. It made me think of the royal hunting grounds ‘het Loo’ on the other side of the city, although the taxidermy mounts at the palace are probably real. At the recycling centre we have many other trophies: colourful parrots, an erotic FHM magazine, Ajax merch, two large toy robots, toy trucks and a few children-sized Mercedes Benz cars. Towards the end of the day, I saw some of my co-workers hunched over, reading a small blue notebook produced by Plieger, a bathroom product company, with an image of a large truck on the cover. On the front free endpaper ‘internet sites’ is written in ballpoint, followed by a few printed pages with addresses of Plieger branches in the Netherlands. The rest of the notebook contains graph paper and is filled with handwritten web-addresses, mostly in the same handwriting with ballpoint pen. Many of the website addresses refer to websites with information about travelling or mobile homes. Some sites refer to insurances, money lending, pensions, jobs for older people and flight reservation. The rest of the book is empty. I realise that all of us are charmed by what we imagine to be an analogue version of google created by an old man using a ballpen and a notebook from a sanitary wholesale company.
