Sa 14-Jan-2012: Today Danique went cycling in the neighbourhood with daddy. First daddy walked while Danique was on her bike. But soon daddy took out his own bike and accompanied Danique on her tour, exploring the roads. It was the first time Danique was on her bike hitting the roads. At times they stopped at places like neighbourhood playgrounds.

Happy 2012

2011 –> Ctrl + Alt + Del –> 2012

We spent New year’s Eve at home. Slowly the oil balls and apple beignets disappeared (see previous message). Danique woke up at 10 PM because of the fireworks noise outside. She stayed with us on the couch, waiting for midnight to come. Then we all watched and enjoyed the fireworks from people in our neighbourhood. Of course there was champagne. Our neighbours stopped by for some handshaking and kisses and then we went to bed at 3.30 AM.

Oil balls for New Year’s Eve

For New Year’s Eve it is a Dutch tradition to “oil balls” and “apple beignets”. These are deep fried dough goodies that will bring luck for the new year to come. The dough is dropped into the deep fryer by using two spoons. They are served with powdered sugar. The “apple beignet” is a variety with a slice of apple.

Happy New Year.

Today Jasper installed a new heating system (Remeha Avanta 28C)  in our house to replace the old one, which was 20 years old. The marks of the old, larger system are clearly visible on the wall.
