Now, this picture - yes, I can remember why I took this picture! Once again the male students in their student house down the street went through their ritual of singing a drunken song and then carrying one of theirs on their hands towards the intersection just in front of the house, and then running towards Dam Square and on, to a destination that I'm not sure about. In the meantime I try to snap some pictures whenever I hear the guys starting to sing. Some fun shots, that's all.
Some exciting news from Glasgow because Andy said in an email that it would "of course be fine" if I would spend New Year's Eve with Colin and him in Glasgow this year. December is still a long time to go but flights in that time of the year, already inflated, can go up quickly, so that's when I start planning early in the year. It will be my fourth time in Glasgow at New Year's and it's always very nice to spend that night with my friends there. It's not just that I really don't want to be in Amsterdam that night (the fireworks drive me crazy) but it's even better to have a very nice destination to go to.
Also very nice news from my energy company. The annual overview showed that I had used significantly less energy than what I'd been paying on a monthly basis so I will getting back what I didn't use. And that's 928 euros! I looked it up on the internet and looked at the amount in astonishment. Could that be right? I did some quick calculations to confirm that it was indeed a credible amount to get paid back... and it was. As a nice side effect, my monthly payments are decreased by more than 80 euros - some extra money per month as well for the upcoming year.
