Giant snowball

Saturday, December 4th, 2004

I’ve made a lot of blog entries today. I think I have lost some time, it only feels like half past five until I looked out the window and thought “where the hell has the daylight gone?” I got an advent calendar today. I hope it snows this Christmas, last time I saw snow was [...]
