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 [...]

The thing with having a digital camera is that you take so many pictures. In a way I miss having the old fashioned photo albums. Those carried memories for life, invaluable, whereas their digital versions are forgotten as soon as the picture was downloaded to some anonymous folder. Well digital version in all honour, here [...]

I just woke up. My alarm clock was staring back at me with a clear message that it was already 12 o’clock. Fantastic! Every bit of extra sleep I catch right now is welcome.

It wasn’t a particularly busy day yesterday. Apart from having to go and file a report at the police for a [...]

Sunday nights are the worst. For some obscure reason it’s the night that gives me least rest. Apparently I wasn’t the only one, and somewhere between 3 and four am I stared my husband straight into the eyes and we both knew it was not going to be our night. He pulled me closer, and [...]

I dashed off on my lunch break for a much needed haircut at Pierot. My hair is still thinning but luckily it’s all growing back again. On my way back I stopped by le Maquilleur for a lipstick and mascara. As usual I came out with a lot of of goodies, this time from the [...]

Good morning! I’ve slept like a log. One of those deep, dream fuelled sleeps. It’s a perfect start to the weekend. Last night I’ve been busy cleaning and doing laundry, all in order to make sure my weekend is as relaxed and restful as possible.
So I don’t really have anything on my agenda today apart [...]

It’s my birthday tomorrow! And Reinout have been spoiling me like crazy. On our way into town, just as we were hitting the first exclusive shoe shop, Players, Reinout told me I could select any two pairs…anything I liked, which in essence is a girls dream. But here lays the great paradox..it’s like walking into [...]

Perfect Saturday…Sleep in, late lunch, a bit of shopping (check out the vintage snake skin bag!), afternoon siesta, lounging on the couch, and soon bedtime…

Our trip to Copenhagen was great. It was a well needed break for both of us. The weather was fantastic and we spent both Friday afternoon and Saturday strolling the streets of the Danish capital, having lunch at the distinguished Hotel Angleterre and shopping at Illum where Reinout bought some additions to his spring wardrobe [...]
