Goes
December 7th, 2008
Wonderful day! Bright sunlight and frozen moss. Thick layer of mist moving between the trees, filling all the fields. I biked to our sunday shop before noon, took the road that goes past the field with five horses. The sun was right in front of me and it’s brightness reflected on the wet road so white it was blinding. You could taste the mist when driving through the forest.
S had been to Gent this morning to get our chimney-maker. He got the job finished today. De schoorsteen ziet er goed uit! Nice detail on the top layer of bricks. S is heating the stove now, to keep the mortar from freezing in the night – just in case.
My brompton is shiny again. I rinsed all the mud from the wheels, chains and gears. It still needs some oil on the chain.
There’s a frog living in our pond already! We were planning to bring some frog eggs from R&N’s fish pond sometime in the spring but this fellow got in first so i guess it’s his/her swimming pool. It’s small and brown frog. The same color as those dead leaves at the bottom of the pond.
We’ve been to Goes yesterday. Travelled twice through the six comma six kilometers long tunnel under the sea. Lots of rotondes both sides of the border.
