Una vida Holandesa en Mallorca

Finally the trhee kings have come to Mallorca (cavalcada, 05/01/09), we watched the procession into town. We actually did not even buy a present for Lucas, like the Spanish custom. Nor for Christmas (but his grandparents did), nor for Sinterklaas (Dutch custom). But he is too small to notice anyway. Guess I have been a bit overwhelmed by the recent lack of sleep, the little man has been ill and does not eat well, nor sleep well (see entry before). And together with the cold weather (remember, we do not have central heating) we have been forced to refuge again in part of the house, closing the part where his bedroom is. I am tired, continuously ill as well, and very stressed because I am behind with my work (childcare closed 23 dec-7 jan). But with the coming of the Kings, life has returned more or less to normal. Lucas does not have a fever anymore and the childcare is open so I am back at my desk at last. I still feel a bit lost (and stressed, and tired), but let´s see if I finally can make a bit of progress.........
