Hot. With more hot expected.
I’m pretty sure that’s the forecast through the weekend. Europe seems to be in the midst of a bit of a heat wave recently, and for once, we haven’t been left out. As of right now, I believe the temperature is 31C/87F. Part of me thinks, no, it can’t be that [...]

I believe the words that escaped my lips were, “You have got to be kidding me.”
The reason for this? It was dark, I was awake, and the clock said 4:18 a.m. Second day in a row. This time I was awakened by someone outside on the street below yelling some sort of nonsense. This was [...]
In the A.M.

I’m up early again today, although this time it wasn’t the light that woke me. I actually managed to beat the light by about half an hour. I woke up shortly after 4 a.m. and it was still fairly dark, although there was a hint that things would be getting brighter soon. The birds started [...]
Crackle and Boom!

We may get rain here in the Netherlands, but we get few real thunder storms. In fact, last night was one of our first truly noticeable thunder storms since moving here. It still doesn’t match up to the kinds of storms I grew up with in Central Florida, or even with the storms we got [...]

Spring is making a serious approach here now. The clocks sprung forward on Sunday, so now we’re getting the brighter evenings, which are always a favorite of mine. Next thing you know, the Friday night skating party will be back on the roads. I wonder if they still have the Hummer? I saw a couple [...]
They Do Exist!

Perhaps one of the most iconic images of the Netherlands is the windmill (de molen). I know other countries have them, too, but they still just seem so very Dutch.
We saw both the old-fashioned ones, as well as the new wind turbines when we first arrived here and drove from Schipol to Utrecht. I’ve seen [...]
The White Stuff

Snieuw! We finally got some that stuck!
We’ve had snow in the past, but it never really stuck at all. However, when I woke up this morning, there was a light dusting of snow on the ground. I missed the actual snow falling, but it was nice to see the bit of white on the ground. [...]

Stunten Op De Miniramp
Originally uploaded by indigo_jones
It’s that time of the month again: Cultural Sunday! Sadly, the weather isn’t really cooperating for parts of it. Fortunately, there are many indoor events, as well. I suspect with the approach of autumn/winter, more of the events will be indoors.
As our Dutch is still limited to discussion of [...]
