    I'm glad the picture did heat you up a bit ... but it's the 'missus' in front of our bedroom wallpaper

    ... we too have low temperatures ... besides that, the annual high water has come to Arnhem ...

    .. and Nijmegen ... images of the new high water channel dug at Nijmegen

    BTW the high water channel (unfortunately) has been dug straight across the area that was the scene of the audacious Waal Crossing by the 82nd Airborne during Market Garden.

    In a rush? A case of ... overheating, eh!

    Maybe you should join the traditional Dutch "Nieuwjaarsduik" at Scheveningen on January 1st, next year ... as a cool down! (though might still be warm according to Canadian standards)

    A 'fresh and fruity' start of the New Year :D

    Most of the New Year swims in Ontario were cancelled. It was too cold (- 22C). They were afraid someone would lose an eye. ;)

    Is that an Ice-Cream van, or a conglomerate of England's batting line-up??

    Penrith, a town about an hour west of Sydney recorded +47.3C. Whose counting?

    They didn't do too bad! Just short a couple of good bowlers and two or three batsmen.

    We got snow earlier this week for the third time this season. It was only 4 inches but when you never get any to begin with, it is quite a lot.

    It's belting it down in Cockfosters at this very moment and I wonder how it will affect two classes I'm scheduled to attend tomorrow morning :(
