Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

We have a new coffee machine. A Senseo that makes cappuccino and latte macchiatos. It works like its predecessor with the difference that it has a few more buttons. But even so I manage to operate it well – until I am going to make two cups simultaneously. It has the option to make two [...]

I’ve just got back from a long walk into town, where we enjoyed a nice lunch (I swapped my usual iced latte for a double espresso in the name of a low carb diet). When we reached the cross road, Reinout made a little detour into the jewellery shop. My heart leaped a notch, as [...]

Another bright and beautiful day was welcoming me as I woke up this morning. I could feel my tummy making sounds, indicating its need for food. As of yesterday I decided already to kick-start my protein diet, but it will take some time for my body to readjust. There is a simple reason, apart from [...]

I was challenged for a walk today, all in the name of “getting your fat ass out of bed”. It’s true, I did a bit of contemplating over the whole thing. I have been so busy focusing on onlinesalsa.com, a site that should be launch in 4-6 weeks from now, that I have not given [...]

So here it is again, Valentines, the biggest commercial fraud history has ever witnessed. And this time there is no Valentine present. I was under the impression that the biggest present ever would be here, but oh no, life had another plan in store. So I need to dedicate some time today to a) find [...]

I’m walking around like a geisha in our house. Small steps, left, right, left and right again. Walking normally is not an option. The pain in my back and legs keeps coming and going, but when it comes it’s with a vengeance. We bought a whole load of sauerkraut on the advice of the lady [...]

We had a long lunch, at one of the restaurants at the market square. Every time I go there, I feel like I’m on a date with Reinout. It’s an odd feeling, making me feel hot and cold at the same time. After all, our first real date started there; in a grand cafe on [...]

Sometimes the past catches up with you, making itself known when you least expect it. It’s like it has made a unilateral decision to knock on your door and remind you what happened all those months and years ago. It was about 1.30 am. Reinout had just turned out the light and was closing his [...]

I love when I have a good occasion to dress up, which I did today….for my midwife. Having only two pieces of clothing items left makes life tremendously simple. I shall never EVER again complain about my limited wardrobe. I promise, I promise! Check out the highheel boots…perfect pregnancy fashion Coffee break

We’re sitting at the midwife, chit chatting to each other as the schedule is delayed. He get’s a call, from a business associate. I hear who it is, or at least I think I do. I don’t listen too closely this time, although most of the times I tend to eavesdrop on his conversations. It’s [...]
