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

There was an email that stood out above all other emails from lat night. It simply read: “It was our wedding anniversary yesterday.” I stood there in disbelief having missed one of the most crucial days of our entire joint life. If you feel gutted, then this is the moment. I ran downstairs to apologise, [...]

Last night I had a bizarre encounter in a private chat on Facebook. Time was approaching midnight. As I was pretty tired, I occupied myself with googling some people in my immediate network, most notably my husband. To my pleasant surprise (and his horror) my blog comes up on top position on his name. At [...]

Victoria took some liberties while Reinout was sleeping off his jet lag

After dressing him up and taking pictures, the monster woke up…

A cross between Spiderman & a ski instuctor???
I guess Reinout is getting ready for his next trip….next the Alps

First of all I have to offer my apologies for my irregular blog entries. Several concerned friends has contacted me to check if I was alive, and as you can see I am. The last two weeks turned out to be anything but dull, and as a result of a compromised agenda stuffed with a [...]

My husband is in an excellent mood! Needless to say it makes me very happy too! I don’t know if it’s because of a clean house, a clean admin or a clean conscious. Perhaps it’s all three.

Who said the days between Christmas and New Year where lazy? Earlier this morning I got a call from my husband just checking in on how I was doing. “Fine”, I replied and with that we continued to chit chat about what the day had in store for both of us. My husband had a [...]

When I saw you there on the street, I realized how much I love you. My heart took a leap and for a moment it was like it was only the two of us. It was one of those defining moments when I knew why I want to spend the rest of my life with [...]

Last night, as Reinout came home, I was just wrapping up my dinner, stressed as in half an hour I had my appointment with my hairdresser. Reinout asked me why I was so stressed. I looked at him with an almost (I imagine) blank face. I had just made dinner, emptied the laundry and put [...]

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. Again I feel cheated on the promise we once made to eachother, never to go one night without going to bed and waking up together. But one night becomes [...]
