| Went near where Abba found a songtitle and Napoleon did what he had to do. Early in the evening on arriving I could enlighten this mattress, near racing uccle, a hockeyteam. A few hours later I got a phonecall from my spouse,announcing snow where we live. Being inside, I could not know, lookig outside I knew I had to go. My first before and after.I tottered home, as did the ladies in Bristol.Took me 2,5hours instead of only one.But it was worthwhile, due to the matt. |

| wim commented on 12.07.05 | | We celerate Sinterklaas, santaclaus, who is not the anglosaxo version of he christmass man santa claus, however.. in some pats of belgium, at the coast, they don't do "sinterklaas" bur "saint martin" on november 15th, with the same result. We do on "saint martin" a "sintemartensvuur", a bonfire with a parade where we walk around with beets with a candle inside and sort of a face made in the beet (a prehalloween thing). Nowadays it is commercialised with paper things, just like paper pumpkins, and we sing an idiaot song and drink strong alcohol |
