Fracas Noir || Susanne Waldau - te Brake I swear to tell the truth as I know it…

Some days can turn out unexpectantly good, completely unforseen, out of the blue! And so with 5 cups of coffee I survived the day, better than I’d thought. In fact the day went by in a breeze and at 5.30 pm I was on my way home to prepare a dinner for our management team [...]

Saturday didn’t turn out bad at all. One would have thought with a blog post as my last, that World War III had broken out in the Waldau – te Brake mansion, but peace prevailed. I said my goodbyes and went into town on my own. It was cold, snowy, but my spirit was on [...]

And so Christmas eve has come to an end. My day started early with laundry and cleaning to prepare for the big day. As an expat in a foreign country, traditions become even more important, and most important of all is Christmas Eve. It’s the evening when a big family meal is prepared followed by [...]

Yesterday was time for a long awaited dinner party. The whole planning started off as two separate dinner parties but as people couldn’t make it got rescheduled, and eventually I got so fed up I fused them together in the hope some old friends would reunite over wine and sushi. I had a feeling something [...]

The house is empty. Reinout left this evening. His Prada aftershave lingering for a few more moments, as to gently ease the void he’s left behind.

I am sitting here in bed, at 9 am on a workday I might add, with a cup of coffee whilst reading the news. When did that happen last? There is an explanation to this however. Last night I was putting together a small soiree. The house looked like a mess and I admittedly bribed [...]

Paris in autumn is fantastic. It doesn’t matter if it’s windy and rainy, because with a cafe or bistro around every corner, you don’t have to ever risk getting too wet or cold. Reinout and I have been strolling around with Sebastian, shopping, eating and drinking. In short perfect for a small city break. Now [...]

I was suppose to wrap up some work stuff this evening. But other things came up, that seemed more important.
I think everyone experience it at some point… When you start questioning some of your friendships and relations. So I started thinking about friends… true friends. There are friends you know will be there for you, [...]

Although Reinout had supposedly a bad back he couldn’t keep away from the winebar.
Some pictures from last night’s rendez vous with MJ and followed by an unexpected visit to the local sex shop. I found these cute little surprise packages which I decided to buy for Reinout’s staff. Quite silly, but a lot of [...]
