ending the year (nearly) with some sun...

Deprived blog. Seriously deprived blog. Oh well, that is the way things go sometimes

However, we are (nearly) ending the year with some sun. Hooray. What a difference from the tons and tons of snow we had by now last year, will you look at those bikes!

We have had lots and lots and lots of rain lately, though. Furious rain. So much so, I was happily cycling on my brand new bicycle (I crashed the other one, another story, tra la la) yesterday evening, when all of a sudden it felt like someone was throwing gravel at my legs. WTF? That is what I thought in the split second it took for the heavens to open up and unleash hail, rain and hurricane force winds onto us, poor souls out on the street. Blawdy 'ell, properly soaked and pissed off ninja in five minutes, I am telling you.

So, here are some random shots of the last few days. A couple of tidy spots in the house: beautiful amaryllis the boy brought me, my home-made crimbo tree, the Amsterdam city walk cards I, wishfully thinking, took out the shelf last week (the weather decided otherwise, though, no stupid walks at the risk of either flying away or drowning.) There is also a very dark shot of one of the friends that comes begging for food every time I tie my bike to the rails on the canal and well, some ninja feet. Of course, ninja feet.
