Think alike :-) Walking on Geneva airport yesterday, I remembered that I *NEED* a watch, I’ve been going without it for about two years again, and I just keep forgetting to buy me a nice one. I found Body and soul, a self winding watch of good quality (I know someone who has used it [...]

I’m sitting in a very comfortable kitchen, capuchino maker close by, laptop with Skype to muffin decapitating boy whom I missed dearly as he left for NYC on Wednesday (and I’m only returning from Switzerland on Monday!). On the table is a book, Northern lights, by Philip Pullman. Next to it, a coffee cup, my [...]

I wanted to write a post about my great weekend, my finished jeans and my awesome cabdriver Eduardo… However, nothing came of it, y’all can take a rain check, I’m too busy! ;-)

OK, I wanted lip balm, my favorite, Blistex Lip Relief Cream. So you walk into your standard drug-store, in this case, an Etos and go to the register, where they have a nice little stand with all types of lip cream imaginable to man. You can’t find yours immediately and ask if they have it [...]

Sometimes you have one of those days, where you just suddenly realize what you want to do about something, a bit of inspiration here, a little bit of time there, and before you know it, nothing comes of any of your good plans to do one thing or another and you’re working away on something [...]

Yesterday was the official last night of our archery course. I’ll admit that Muffin-Decapitating-Boy missed two more lessons than me because he had to work late , so theoreticallyI had a four hour practise head start. To my great surprise, I didn’t come in last, actually, I came in 5th! (6 points and one “place” [...]

I like sewing, and I picked it up again recently. Liessa got the brilliant idea to do a sewing course (Dutch), and after that, I really got the virus back. I’m half way done with a denim dress, only I killed the zipper accidently, so now I have to buy a new one and sew [...]

So someone linked me to a speed typing test (also available in Dutch for those who don’t want to have to think about English spelling) Your score: 363 CPM (that is 73 WPM) Congratulations! You typed all 56 words correctly! (CPM is characters per minute and WPM is words per minute) I must admit, this [...]

I… don’t blog enough… Plenty that frustrates me, or excites me, or moves me… But hardly any time to sit down and blog about it… Next week I’m starting two courses, so I don’t know how much time I’ll have after, but it should be good fun, perhaps all the extra activity will give me [...]
