During my crutched life, my housemates have effectively been my slaves. I have received gifts from friends, Get Well Soon cards, and at least five different parcels from Mildred.
2) Utilise this permanent peacocking tool.
Crutches are an immediate talking point. As well as the sweet elderly women and wide-eyed children, many a Nederlands jongen have approached me talking all 'Wat is er gebeurd?' With crutches in the country's colour, and arms now made of steel, I don't know how they couldn't say hoi.
3) Take note that friends will still take a visit.. and they don't expect an active host.
4) Become even more Dutch
Learn new phrases and words! I can say tendone, pain, and crutches in Dutch. How useful.
If you ain't Dutch, then you ain't much crutch-ed.
WHAT THE DAM...AS SURE AS EGGS IS EGGS.
Insisting on pancakes as a morning treat, I took my rucksack to Albert Heijn to seek out the essentials for the all important mixture. Amongst the eggs I came across packets of seven, in purple form.
The odd numbers and circular holding I can handle. In fact, I like it. The colour, and the unreasonable normality with this seven piece egg-set in the Dutch supermarket was too insane though. Good eggs? A potentially mad/bad Nederlands set of eggs more like.
