Sparkles

To celebrate the end of the past year and the beginning of the new year the Netherlands bursts with fireworks at midnight on 31 December/1 January. And it finally gave me a chance to try out my fireworks-setting on my camera. ;-)

Other stuff we did yesterday and today, besides eating lots of food, popping champagne bottles and lighting the above fireworks and sparklers:

* competitions on the Wii
* reading secrets
* trying to understand Banksy's art
* find out if our boyfriends are twats
* etc etc

Great fun. But I really really need to start packing. See you next week.

New traditions

I'm almost on my way to a newyear's eve party. As always (well, the last four years at least), we're barbequeing (mind you, in winter) with a fairly fixed group of people by now.

When I would tell people about it at first, they'd look at me weirdly. By now, I just got a shrug and a 'oh right, again huh'. Teehee.

Happy new year everyone, hope you're as excited about the year ahead as I am!
