I'm glad for the inhabitants of Leiden, makes their yearly festivities so much better. They're celebrating that about 400 years ago the city got liberated from the Spanish invaders. And they do so eating herring and white bread, hutspot (that's a root vegetable mash: carrots, onions and potatoes) and drinking looots of beer. There's a lot going on in Leiden today, but since it's not my party (I only live here for about a year and a half) and since I don't like crowds very much, I just stay home with the kitties and my sweet love on Messenger ;)
My son came to see me today. He's been in Ireland on vacation, Cork to be precise. He's been back for a bit but he's a lot like me, so he waited 'til he had time... He said Ireland is damned expensive, like a bottle of wine in a supermarket costs about €20. That's insane! Well, the prezzy he brought me sure didn't cost that much, sweetheart left the pricetag on :') But that's how I like it! (And so does he.) He got me a fridge magnet with a Claddagh, a real four leaf clover or Shamrock, and a very sweet text: 'Mothers hold their children's hands a while and their hearts forever' Here, I made a pic of it:
He said he'll be going back to Ireland one day, it's a beautiful country. But first he's going to New Zealand in 2012 with a friend, for about a month, and he's getting his thigh all tattooed then, one of those special tattoos they do there. Kid's addicted to ink ;)
Well, I think I'm done for today. Can't tell everything in one day, right? Remind me to tell something about the kitties that make my life a living hell soon! Have a great day!!!
