sinterklaas 2008

Pluis de kip

I realised that Pluis perhaps needed some explanation, before everyone thinks we're the type of people that make make chickens and let them sing to the Bee Gees just for fun...

As you may (or may not) know, I (Josefine) have gone back to school. I'm doing a primary school teaching degree and for my previous internship (in P1) I had to make a hand puppet. 

So I made a chicken and called her Pluis (fluff). Because I was insanely busy with all the other internship preparation stuff, Keefe made the lovely ball of fluff for her head. He even made two, cause the first one turned out to be just a tiny bit too small...

Anyway, the kids loved her and, as it turns out, she can sing too!

Unfortunately, my next internships are in year 5 and 6 where she probably won't be appreciated that much. She now has to decide if she wants to stay on the shelf for a while, till she can go back to school or if she wants to pursue a singing career.

We'll keep you updated. 

een rustige zaterdag...

So this past saturday, I met up with some friends for a saturday morning brunch which turned out to be a really good idea!

in case you are wondering, J doesn't appear in the pictures because she was at work ...but she did join us for the 2nd half of the day (which I conveniently forgot to take any pics of)

Here you see the lovely hosts C and D...

and we had a real breakfast spread that lasted well till noon-ish! (with token appearance by one of our rice bowls from Singapore)
and here you see us looking at a pigeon.....there is a story behind it too!!

(looking at the picture again; it actually looks very posed.....but we were completely not posing....hmm...)

Big thank you to C and D!!
