Wow **Coldie** and **Heloise** , I can’t believe that it’s been a whole year. That went fast.  
Congrats and all that.

I will leave it to you two to decide for yourselves what _“and all that”_ means.

Congrats to the happy couple. I hope **Heloise** has adjusted to the clogs and all that.

I love you too, Jasper. Happy anniversary.

**Shirley** :

My mother would be so proud, the way he’s coming along. 😉

**Annie** , clogs are actually comfortable!

Boy, you’re really going whole hog with the whole “integratie” thing aren’t you? Don’t tell me you’re eating “hagelslag” for breakfast and “filet americain” for lunch and washing everything down with Chocomel too. 😉

But, as a German living in the Netherlands I must agree. Clogs are actually surprisingly comfortable and much better than rubber boots if you’re slogging around in muddy fields all day. With the weather we’re having here today (30 cm of snow in Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe!) they’re probably the best thing to wear.

Well, I’m just tickled that it snowed all day today.

:abashed: And um, yes, I really love Chocomel. Hey! That’s some good stuff!

It’s been a _year?_ :eek:

Congratulations to you both.

**Jasper** : A friend came over and rode the XJ600 for me. (I was on the R1. 😃 )
