Sorry for not posting for a while....we've been in the Winter Doldrums here. This has been a snowy February so far, and there's not been a whole lot going on. Earlier in the month the Luxem-Kids celebrated Liichtmessdag - a kind of winter Halloween. Young children create these sweet little lanterns and go around in the evening singing songs for candy. We had only one group come through, and since we were ill-prepared (i.e. no candy), we simply hid and refused to answer the bell.
Other somewhat notable issues I can share are the rooster next door and a truly passive aggressive Luxembourger. First, we have a little neighbor in our building, we'll call her LuLu. She is about 2 years old and can be quite fussy at times. I thought it was all the time until I realized the home owner next to us has a rooster that doesn't know how to crow. No 'Cock-a-doodle-doo' here...he kind of moans a long 'ahhhhhyeeeeaaah'. Sound's just like a toddler having a fit, and he does this at all hours of the day and night. Jeni thinks he's confused because we really haven't seen the sun in about two months! He finally gave us a proper crow the other morning, and that's how we deduced there was a rooster living next door rather than the saddest toddler of all time. Secondly, I came across this sight when walking the dogs. Luxembourg City has the poop-bag stations all through town (probably more needed with a get out the scoop campaign), and I for one take full advantage...many others do not. It's apparently a cultural thing. We're told it's worse in Belgium, but that may just be backyard rivavlries in the BENELUX.
