Zwarte Piet and more sunshine

What a wonderful surprise this day was. Sunny weather, in a part of the year we usually have rain, wind and a lot of really cold weather. I had to go home during lunchtime to walk Basil and I gave myself the luxury to spend a bit more time outside and went by bike this morning. This means I have to bike the road from home to the university twice today. That was no punishment at all. I’ve enjoyed the sun at my face and of course there was a lot of wind, but who cares as long as the sun is there? I’m already looking forward to go home in an hour and hope I can sit outside for a few moments after five. I keep my fingers crossed we have this at Texel in two weeks. I think it’s too much to wish for. 



Then something else, everybody is making a real issue of our Zwarte Piet, even de VN is involved now, it’s too crazy for words I think, however I’m afraid that we have to get used to a colored Piet in the future. Colored is also wrong to use for some people so I think we have to call them just Piet.
