This little girl took great joy in pounding her father with giant snowballs yesterday.  He was a really good sport about it, and I thought that was really cool, because he looked like he was freezing his arse off.  It was nice to see all my neighbours out, not just the children but the parents too.  It appears that in …

This is the totally wonky snowman that we made together with a few of our neighbours this afternoon.  There was more laughing and throwing of snow than there was actual building, but he’s unique and we love him.  The people in our building so rarely socialize, it was nice to just be outside chatting and laughing together. As usual, I …

Bailey in his Medical Pet Shirt, so much nicer than a big ugly cone! Sunday  night Xander and I went out with the dogs at about 10pm.  As we were walking along Xander was telling me how he met up with a guy a few nights ago with two big Staffordshire’s off their leashes, and when Xander reminded him about …

April doet wat hij wil is a saying about the spring weather in the Netherlands.  It means “April does what it wants”, and boy does it!   A lot of people get irritated by not knowing what the weather will be like from one moment to the next, but I like it.   We go from days of 20-25 degree sunny weather, …

Well we are back in our bedroom again!  It’s all sort of make-shift at the moment but that’s how it goes when you are renovating. I took this photo last night before crawling into bed.  As you can see we have our bed together finally, and a nice big new mattress on top.  We had to get a new mattress …

Oh my god, the DAY after I write the rant about the shit ninjas I’m out with the dogs and the very dog I suspected runs out and shits RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME on the sidewalk.   Other than trying to housebreak Pixel I have never in my life been so happy to see a dog have a crap! Not …

There is something that’s been bugging me for a while, and I’m so about to rant about it. At the moment the walkway in front of our building is like a minefield of dog shit.   When we are going to the car or walking the dogs we have to watch every step we take because there is dog shit everywhere… …

I was looking over some old blogs from this time last year and can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by. My parents always told me that the older you get the faster the time goes by. If it goes this quick now I think I year will go by in a blink by the time I’m 70… Last …

Xander is on a warpath. He messaged me from work today saying that he printed off this month’s phone bill and it’s higher than ever. According to the rest of the bills he’s printed off, our phone bill has been steadily increasing between May – September. This is quite a coincidence since the frequency of my annoying neighbour (see post …

I was just woken up by the loudest bang I have heard in a very long time. At first I thought it was thunder, but after getting up to close the windows I realized it wasn’t raining and there wasn’t another sound afterwards. I thought perhaps the cats knocked something off somewhere, but after a quick inspection of the house …

My husband makes me laugh so much.. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I was with someone without such a great sense of humor. Well yeah I do, I’d make a point of moving on, as I have in the past with men who had miserable personalities (better late than never, I say). Anyhow, our neighbours must think …
