The Dutch Weather Gives a Break

The classic photo in blogs... duh !

Who said that the Dutch sun gave as much warmth as a light bulb ?
Today we have 26°C and I have even got some sunbath - not bad ! 
If things stay like that then I will be forced to stop acting as and looking like Dracula's daughter...

SENZ Umbrella [antistorm paraplu]


Facts of life in the Netherlands:

1) In Holland it rains and winds a lot.
2) The Dutch are world masters about water engineering.

Therefore...
They developed an anti-storm paraplu. I am not kidding. Such thing is called SENZ Storm Paraplu. It costs around 50 euros, will never break or go inside out, gives good vision and is beautiful. You can purchase one at : www.senzumbrellas.com or click here to see some little funny films. I especially like "SENZ and the City" one.

I loved it. I need one (hint) ; )

Esses holandeses são mesmo danados: desenvolveram um tipo de guarda-chuva que não se quebra nem se inverte durante ventos e tempestades. Também da boa visão e tem design bacana. Ele é comercializado por SENZ. Vá ate o site (em inglês) para ver melhor a descrição do produto e alguns filminhos muito divertidos (Clique nas palavras em vermelho acima ou aqui). Custa cerca de 50 euros e tem tamanho pequeno, médio e grande. Beeem carinho, mas olha: eu compro uns dois a quatro guardas-chuva (o plural se escreve como ?) por ano na base de 7 euros cada. Faz as contas...

Cold


Can anybody tell me when the days are going to get a bit warmer?
(Brazilian folks : NO jokes about the name of this respectful bank please !)
