I know I said the city looked like it was getting dressed up for a holiday party. I know I said the city is so charming with the Canal Houses lit up from the inside with stick candles and with the reflection of the bridge lights on the water. The distant "tring tring" from bike bells heard through the misty fog is ethereal creating a mystical, mysterious ambiance.
I was ready to welcome in winter.
Then, "Code Oranje" happened yesterday. The mighty winds....The WINDS!!!!
Biking into cat 5 headwinds, there is clear danger of loose scaffolding impaling me, ice balls pelting my face, my jacket rips open to create a sail behind me providing additional resistance as I ride out of the saddle to aggressively try to find safety....oh the rage.
Couple that with sunset immediately following sunrise, leaving about one minute of direct sunlight, I feel wilted.
BUT....when I woke up:
-Sun in sky
-Shaboozy has a new song
-Moana 2 is released today
Maybe I might actually make it to 21 December.
