Plans to be social on the eve of the upcoming year were thwarted by a nasty belly virus. Result: 22:00 hours everyone in bed sleeping through the fireworks. Cheers (*skulls probiotic drink*).
The canals are freezing up, exciting all those with skates on feet, or as some locals like to do, wheels. and babies. I'll be the first to admit I'm not accustomed to local practises and lack the ability to judge thin ice...but it was freaking me out seeing the babies on ice that was groaning and cracking...
New Year's Resolution: (dare I say it?) as there are no babies (planned) this year (as opposed to 2007 and 2008) we aim to be getting out more often.
Coming to a town near you....

I'm with you - way too cautious with the frozen-over lakes! I tend to throw things on them and rather watch the bounce than go on them myself!
If the 11-steden tocht goes ahead this year, would love to see some of it. They make such a big deal about it here.
Looking forward to your pending visit!
