Flies and horses or old and new in the Netherlands

 some things seem to belong together. Like fireworks and New Year. 

Not this year if it is up to the government. To prevent corona expansion and more pressure on the hard working people in the hospitals.
 But we are not a listening people, says the same government. I'm curious what will happen.

 Yes, this happend, firework! Luckily not as much wounded people as last year.  The enforcers were concerned, because for many, fireworks are part of New Year's Eve, just like oliebollen and they are allowed. 

The syringes with the medicine that should protect us against the virus have been in the freezers for several days. But we only vaccinate from 8 January, as the very last country in Europe. Not everyone is happy with that, but according to the government this is the best. Will belong together in the Netherlands, too talk a lot and become indecisive when action is required. Like flies and horses, not pretty but seemingly inseparable. . .

So, less by fireworks wounded people 
We showed we're not the listening kind
The syringes with the medicine are still in the fridge
The goverment is going to think about what to do with syringes.
Happy New Year, stay healthy and optimistic, the world needs it . . .

The Carnaval is over

The carnival is over. . . And because we like it and are still in the Low Country, we celebrate it, so on to Maastricht. And how busy it was, much busier than expected because the weather was not good.  But Carnival in the rain remains, maybe a little wetter than planned Carnival. Stay healthy and optimistic, even when the Carnaval is over . . .

After the renovation

Image
  yes, we did our best, but now they are on the roof, our solar panels.  The bathroom has also been renovated in between, so it was time to get out for a while.  Not too far, just a walk in nature and then also shoot a heron. Not really, of course, so no gun was involved, but with a camera.  Oh yes, and we will also go to a sunny country this year when it winters here, but more about that later. Stay healthy and optimistic, you will feel a lot better doing so . . .

Gifts, gifts.

Image
  Apparently we are now in a period where we give a lot of presents. The period in which we received a lot of presents seems to be behind us.  Not that it's a bad thing, rather the opposite. So it turns out to be true, for us at least, that giving is better than taking.  The presents are for the little ones, the children. Wonderful to see how happy they can be, how intensely they enjoy unpacking and the surprise when the gift is unwrapped in front of them. The absolute highlight appears to be the permission to bring a present when it is time to go to sleep. Stay healthy and optimistic, the world can't do without it!
