A Windy Day
Yesterday the wind blew hard. After a few hours of work I was very tired. Before going home to cook my favourite dish—potato salad—I decided to walk along the lake in the city centre.
It’s lovely when the trees and the water aren’t perfectly calm; it makes life feel more vivid. In the Netherlands, many days are rainy and windy. There’s a Dutch saying: we are not made of sugar. So you put on a rain jacket and cycle anyway. In time, you may even fall in love with this weather—though not 100% guaranteed.
When the wind is strong, you can hear it sing through the trees. That special “music” sends a little adrenaline through the body. The wind invites you to dance with it. A real party, isn’t it?
