Another Wednesday

I have been drinking very little here in Amsterdam and I haven't been drinking at all for about two weeks now. Alcohol, that is. My body tries compensating for the absent stressor by inducing me to drink more coffee and by thus giving me headaches anyway. It was only by chance that I was spared when I accidentally bought decaffeinated coffee. Kicking addictions since 2012.

I have also learned why the Dutch ride their bikes during torrential weathers and don't carry an umbrella. National pride, I was told, is at stake: if one refuses getting soaked he is declared to be made of sugar.
