Grey Dutch Sky and Flowers

Here we are with another of those typically Dutch grey sky days. Yet, how do I say it, the weather here has never really bothered me. Of course it was like heaven last month with an entire, read entire, month without rain. And flowers blooming, tulips extravanganza everywhere.
I think this is the best part of Holland: the way they were able to develop this flowers business and gardening skills to such an incredibly sophisticate level. What I tell my friends in Italy is that whenever you see flowers around here, and you think they are fake because they are so beautiful and perfect, and you are used to think that flowers (particularly orchids) so beautiful must be made of silk, then you are always wrong. They don't really need artificial flowers here, they have the real stuff ALL THE TIME. Which is weird because this is a Northern country, not a tropical one. But because they are probably the largest producers of fresh flowers in the world (I guess so) there are more flowers here to buy and see that for example, in Italy.
This is really a way to waste time, isn'it? Since I don't want to go and start editing that article that I have been working on for ages.....I am going now.
