Dose of Light

Yaaaaaayyy...welcome SUNSHINE!!

It feels soooo good being able to go to and from the office when it's still light!! Really, it's THAT good!! The joy of waking up to find sunshine behind the curtains, being able to cycle in the bright sunlight...and no need to worry whether you have your bike lights with you when you cycle back home...it's such a blessing :D.

Here in Holland we've got two types of lights on the bikes, one that works with a dynamo, powered by the rotation of the wheels, and the other is clip on light, working on batteries. I have the latter, which means during dark days, I have to be sure to carry the lights in my bag if I don't want to end up walking my bike home - the police here can fine you for biking in the dark!

The only minor part of the sunshine is, with no clouds above, the past few days has been FREEZING COLD!! When you look outside you get this sunny and warm feeling, and the forcast preditcts 7-8C sun, so you go out in your stocking and skirt, only to find that it's frozen air out there - thin steam coming out of your mouth when you talk...brrr!!! NOt to mention the moments I get over-enthusiastic and dare the cold without handgloves, biiiggg mistake!! Oh well, the only remedy then is to take out long coat again, then I'm ready for the freezing sunshine
