Who is Sinter Klaas?

Sundays are great. It’s the most multifunctional day of the week. A typical Sunday starts with sleeping in late, coffee and news in bed, hitting the gym, lunch in town or if Victoria is at home, pancake house in a nearby forrest. The afternoon is reserved for work (I feel most inspired on a Sunday), followed by wash and ironing whilst watching some TV.

Yesterday was no different. But hitting town, it soon became evident that it was a day like no others. Sinter Klaas has arrived! This makes navigation through town litteraly a nightmare. Kids are taking over the streets, seemingly fighting guerilla warfare to get the old man in the beard. And if not, they are terrorizing his little helpers, Zwarte Piet, for a piece of ginger bread and sweets. We fought our way through the densly populated town square, and drew a breath of relief as we stepped inside the bagel bar for bagels, cheese cake and muffins.

Salmon delux is an absolute favourite



On the way back we bought some treats for Victoria



And I was so happy to find Stieg Larsson's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (original title: "Män som hatar kvinnor". On top of this, an interior magazine to get inspired for the house in France
