Winter wonderland
This was the view from my balcony this morning. All the fog had frozen onto the tree's branches during the night, which made for a beautiful view. Then there was this very bright, low wintersun, which made everything just look beautiful and stunning. A lot of people went skating... I haven't been on iceskates in years and would probably just fall over if I tried. So I did all kinds of dull stuff. Bought a sander to finish up the work I'm doing in my kitchen, got home just in time to catch the postman, who delivered my skiing pants. They're wonderful and warm, and best of all, cheap! So today when I finally came around to going to the horse, I wasn't cold at all. Wonderful! Should have bought one years ago.
Anyway, pictures. The view from my balcony this morning.

And the beautiful roses in my living room. I get them from one of the glasshouses in the neighbourhood. They sell of the flowers that didn't quite make the grade real cheap, but I can't really see anything wrong with them. They're just stunning. Surprisingly enough, the cats haven't knocked them over yet either. Shocking.
And this is the area my horse lives in. This is only about 30 minutes out of Amsterdam's city center, mind, and about 10 minutes away from my house. On bike, that is :-] I may live in boring suburbia, but I like it. So there.
And of course I had to take some pictures of Himself. He couldn't quite figure out how the skaters managed to float over ice, and was quite alert because of that. The low sun and frost made for some really nice pictures.
