I am sorry folks for not posting lately. I have been ill and I feel sick for more than a week now. Hopefully it will end soon because I'm fed up! Luckily I have written down the things which made me happy. So here it comes in badges!!
The 8th of November Joep and I surprised my sister in-law with a nice present. It was a Pieten-suit for her little boy. In The Netherlands we celebrate Sinterklaas (Sint Nicolaas). He is a bit like Santa Claus but he lives in Spain during summer, only comes to Holland for some weeks in the year (now) to celebrate the good of children. He celebrates it by giving children who have been nice and sweet presents. At night he rides on the roofs of our homes and with his companions Zwarte Pieten (Black Pete's) they put the presents and sweets in the shoes of children by going through the chimney.
