European holiday.....the day before New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve, from 10am, is the only time in the Netherlands that you are permitted to light firecrackers, so today Liz brought down the hoard from the attic, and went out to purchase some more. We have been hearing the bangers all week actually, and she tells us that tomorrow it will sound like a war zone here in Leiderdorp.

This is our cache ready for the nights activity. Notice the rockets, we have 26 of them!







Lily and JJ have recently lost their beloved rabbit, Tulip. After a great deal of deliberation, with the full realization that they would not be able to bring one home to Australia , they decided to pool their Christmas money from Nanna-Nanna, and buy another bunny. But first, they had to get permission from Mum! They begged and begged, and the answer was YES!





Off we went to the garden centre, and they choose this little cutie, and named him PILUT, pronounced palet.









He is sooooo cute! And a very adventurous bunny as well. Within half an hour of coming home, he was finding his way around the room.

Dinner by TRO and Lily tonight, macadamia crusted salmon, and fish fillets for those who don't care for the salmon.

Moulin Rouge was on the selected program tonight.

Location:Stationsplein,Haarlem,The Netherlands
