The Challenge

The Challenge? It's a simple question, with a straight forward answer:

Turning cancer from a deadly disease into a chronic disease.

How? Well, we're not doctors or medical professionals in any way. So what we do is ride our bikes. Up onto the Alpe d'Huez 6 times in one day on the 6th of June. We are raising money to help fund research into fighting this disease. Too many people around the world are affected by this disease, directly or indirectly. Wouldn't the world be a greater place if this was to change? Let's work together on this and donate to this project!

icing sugar and broken mirrors



My day started at the garage today. Yesterday some idiot, on a small road in the country, refused to get his car a little off the road, which, if two cars are driving towards each other is necessary to pass each other without any damage. Well... I did, and the other didn't. Resulting in a pretty hefty bang. It was very dark and the other car just drove by. It wasn't the best start to the day ever at all. But still resulted in an unexepectedly relaxing morning. It gave me the opportunity to read my book on my iPhone, no doubt giving me the look of someone completely hooked to her phone.

Winter is here! Yes, it's official. It's been freezing, and snowing... Last Friday there was a lot of snow, even though the ground was still warm enough to melt through the snow in about a day. Now that's behind us, we've got a very adequate amount of snow, lying still on the ground like it has been sprinkeled on there as on a perfectly executed dessert, cake or cookie. Sprinkeled on the ground to make ik more beautiful to give it a fuzzy, cuddly look. Not that it feels fuzzy or cuddly... Or more importantly: warm for that matter. But it's the look that counts. Top that with the smell of burning logs of wood, and the dog tugging the leash, frolicing around, it did bring me in the holiday spirit. WOOT!!!!!
The dog stared lapping the snow off the ground, upping his fluid intake I suppose, or maybe he just likes the taste of frozen water, melting on his tongue. Who knows. I started making spirals in the snow.... What better use is there of freshly fallen snow than to make your mark in it?! I suppose it must have something to do with the explorer in me. The spiral was of course from the European series "The Spirals" which I started watching two days ago. It's pretty cool as well, as it's a partnership between several European countries, producing something awesome!
