Non de Ju!
Look at this. Ever seen so many capped teeth in one picture ? Would you want to open your front door, expecting a package of algae wafers for the fish and find them standing there? These guys are going to be crawling through town for the next few days, in our tiny town of 1400 inhabitants, looking for drama, for nerves shaking in anticipation, for teeth grinding in regret.
I think I'm going to suffer temporary amnesia : forget every word of Dutch that I ever knew. Pardon me ?
But I am hoping that they will trawl other small towns nearby, which also share the same post code. You see, our town, tiny though it is, is filled with well known artists of every sort, not the sort to break down and say "Non de Ju!!"
Yes, this is a big deal here in the Netherlands. This is the PostcodeKanjer Lotterij.
And the kids are really, really excited by the pop stars coming to the pancake house for The Party. Now, if only people within our post code can come, well, they just might see a celebrity or two, one who hasn't been around long enough to have their teeth capped. But if it is open to all, well, this is a small town, and Meggie is 6, just about 1 meter 15.
But it is exciting, and all must cross fingers for the girl at the bakery- she just got married, a lovely wedding through town, stopping by the baker's in all her finery.
She has my vote: millions for Suzanne, from the bakery.
