Day to Day Life

Early this morning my husband and I grabbed the dogs, hopped in the car and headed to Zuiderpark. The sun had just come up and we were both itching to get out and enjoy it.

Well, as promised after the Divas Day Out in Den Bosch I finally got around to working on the photos.  I am glad I didn’t bring my good camera, but they didn’t turn out too bad with the point and shoot. There was shopping. Lots and lots of shopping… It started at LUSH where Paule and Penny were quite keen …

Today is the day I found out a few things. I found out that I will have at least one more month of giving myself injections, that in the next few weeks I will have anywhere between 5-7 hospital visits and that my life will once again revolve around hormones. I found out that for the next three to four …

Today my friends Penny, Paule and I went for a girl’s day out in ‘s-Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch, as most people call it).  It was cold and rainy but we made the best of it and shopped, ate and just enjoyed each other’s company. Much like our visit to Bergen op Zoom we had a lot of fun browsing through …

I wasn’t sure what to get my husband for Valentine’s Day, but when my friend Barbara asked if I wanted to go paint ceramics again I decided it was a good opportunity to make him something! It wasn’t hard to figure out what to do, as my husband really loves robots. I found a robot design that I thought was really …

For a while now my friend Barbara has been trying to lure me into her favorite Chinese restaurant to try Dim Sum.  She had already introduced me to the world of sushi, and when she heard I had never tried Dim Sum either, she was a woman on a mission. Today we finally got together for lunch so I could …

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I took photos of a beautiful sunset seen from our back balcony?  How did we go from that, with all it’s springy hopefulness, to this? Yeah, that’s snow. In Rotterdam… It’s almost March, for pity sake! Not that it stops the neighbourhood children from playing outside.  Oh, to be a kid again when nothing gets …

Living in a flat in Rotterdam brings with it a lot of interesting interactions with neighbours.  We have been living in this flat for over ten years and while we do have some really awesome neighbours, we have also had some total jerkoffs, inconsiderate twats (who we totally busted) and royal pains in the ass. There’s one neighbour that I’ve …

Today the sky looked so beautiful as the sun was going down.  After a few months of mainly wet and grey weather it really warms the cockles of my heart to see the sun.  It was shining bright all day today, even though it was bitterly cold outside. Well, cold by Dutch standards, it was just below zero, which would …

I am the first to admit that I have a serious television addiction.  I make myself feel better by thinking things like hey, at least I don’t smoke crack! It works pretty well. People often ask how I find the time to watch all the shows I do.  It’s pretty easy really… Firstly, I download every show I watch.  With …

If I got someone pregnant, I would be rich.  The first female to ever get someone else pregnant… can you imagine what Oprah would pay for that story? If I were pregnant, I would be over the moon.  More than over the moon, I’d be in shock.  So much so that I probably would have a hard time believing it …
