Merry Christmas everyone!
May you all have some lovely days spent with the people you want to spent them with.
(We still have snow here in the Netherlands, so it will indeed be a white Christmas for me.)

To protect and to serve
Metropolitan Chief Inspector Kenneth, such a serious man
(He sure does remind me of someone)
It is getting closer to the 25th and I still had a problem to solve: how to get to my afternoon shift when there is no public transport whatsoever in London that day.
My last and desperate option was calling one of my contacts. So that’s what I did.

How to not dread December – the plan
Bloglily wanted my plan on how to get through December. While for most people December seems to be the time of racing around, stressed, buying presents and generally getting into the mood for Christmas – I try to not get too depressed.
I find December normally a tough time to get through. I am not really a christmassy person, it’s the time where you realize that being single is not always the coolest thing in the world, and the short days and lack of light seem to have their influence on me.
I shortly thought of leaving the country and go travelling, but then, wherever you go it is Christmas, plane tickets prices are doubled up because of that, and the places you go to are busy. I decided to stay in London and make the best of it.
Here is my plan on getting through December without going mad, sad or bad.
My mind’s made up The way that I feel
“Ingrid …”
“Davy …., wow, how is New York? I look so much forward to see you again.”
“New York is fantastic, you are going to love it, trust me. And I had a great sailing trip, I’ll tell you all about it when you get here.”
“I can’t wait… I …”
“But as your editor …”
“Ehrm yes ?”
“I know you don’t really do Christmas, but for your readers …”
“What?”
“You need to wish them a Merry Christmas.”

It’s written in the wind
I stepped in to order something to eat, stood in front of him, trying to find the words as he makes me nervous since he started talking, and I remembered that I had no money. I had spent my last cash on stamps.
I just licked at a lot of them, and they taste nasty, but they are put on the envelopes. Airmail labels are put on them and I just personally delivered them in the mailbox. If you happen to be in South Croydon, you can hear them. Twenty giggling and exited girls together in a red mailbox, eager to go travelling.
I would love to hear if they have arrived safely in a comment here. And take good care of them when they do, they giggle a lot, but they are good company.
When they will arrive?
I have no idea.
It’s written in the wind.
I want yours, do you want mine?
Nice pickup line now that I think about it.
Somewhere in London
Spike and Whitey in Regent Street
We have a serious problem.
What, what do you mean?
She absolutely hates Christmas.
So if you really love christmas …
Come on and let it snow …
I’ll be off to Holland for a few days, and will be back in Denmark on the 27th of December. Posting will be very irregular, most likely on hold, until then.
Merry Christmas !
Prettige Kerst !
God Jul !
