The price of sauerkraut

You must have wondered what had happened to me my dear Blip friends! And I've missed seeing your posts! Sauerkraut spilled on the touch pad of my laptop is what happened, at a price of half the cost of the (secondhand) laptop itself. But I'm back now and had a glass of wine with a fellow painter today, wondering why dutch people always want to sit outside when it's cold.
