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

I’m sitting here with my agenda planning the week ahead. It’s an exciting week with several meetings regading a project close to my heart. Last night, in anticipation of the next coming days, I cleaned out my inbox (*relief*), completed my administation (well overdue) and did the laundry in preparation for the cleaners coming over [...]

As of today, I am 35! We’ll strictly speaking 34, but since the age of 20 when I really needed to add some numbers to my meager age, I’ve been in a habit of adding an extra year. It works fine, also in later years. When I say I’m 34 (and in this case 35) [...]

Dinner at Popokatepetl. I have fajitas, W goes for a burrito. Time passes quickly and at a certain point, rain and heavy thunder errupts. We move inside to continue our female rendez vous. I’m home at midnight, no salsa but evening was great. Reinout is asleep and but comes downstairs to open the door for [...]

In town it’s crowded. As I walk in my black pencil skirt my thighs are rubbing together from the heat. That forever taking diet is not paying off. Thigh rubbing or not, I decide against a cappuccino and order just a black coffee. A biscuit that accompanies it gets handed over to Sebastian who eagerly [...]

I figured that after some hectic weeks, followed by the anti-climax of a cancelled holiday, I could better treat myself to something good. When I’m on a mission, I’m on a MISSION, and in the course of a few hours I had bought items worthy of a new wardrobe. Classic high heel loafers from Tods, [...]

Thankfully women has evolved to the 2.0 version, but as we are equipped with a certain sense our predecessors may have lacked, we have also been [...]

Good meeting in Amsterdam, followed by wine and snacks at Viqh’s winebar. I’m now in bed browsing the site theoutnet.com. Although yesterday’s fashion, there are loads of bargains to be made for excellent prices on this online outlet store! Like this stunning dress from Marchesa discounted 65% to a mere EUR 2819;-. Or how about [...]

Since the operation, I had my first good night sleep. The pain is reduced to a dull muscle ache, and although I can’t lift anything heave or do any sports for a few more weeks, I’m back to being mobile again. Needless to say, there were quite a few eyebrows being raised after my announcement. [...]

Victoria and I have had a girly day in town. Lunch, shopping, manicure and a blow-dry at Pierot. Reinout came home today from a 5 day long trip to San Fransisco. Can’t tell how good it feels to have him back. Now we’re relaxing with a glass of brandy and crime series. Life is goooood! [...]
