Christmas 2005

As is now traditional, we celebrated Christmas with a bunch of our friends: this year there were 19 guests besides us. We had a 7 course dinner, where each course was prepared, served and cleared up by a different team. Jan and I, together with Thomas and some help from Henk, served the soup and the cold starter.

We had a good time, and a very enjoyable evening was had by all. I hope your Christmas was as much fun!

Augenschmaus

Last year I characterized the Bear-weekend in Cologne as ‘Augenweide‘ – this year we were described as ‘Augenschmaus’ – which equates to roughly the same thing. This year, Henk was a candidate in the Mr. Bear contest. And we helped him.

For his act, we performed the ‘Dance of the Little Swans’ from the ballet ‘Swan Lake’. I think we wowed the audience – but sadly Henk did not make it to the first three. But we tried!
