Deals and promises

Posted by: admin on November 24 @ 2:20 am

Waking up to a snowy Haarlem (although it soon evaporated) made me long for Christmas. Although we are a month away, I just want to fast forward to the weekend before Christmas. The weekend is in fact already planned. I have our cleaning lady coming over to give the house a good Christmas clean, and [...]

A balancing act

Posted by: admin on November 23 @ 2:56 pm

My cold is getting worse. I’ve been raiding the cupboard for anything that will relieve a sore nose and throat. From cough medicine, citrosan, and tracitol, to strepsils and vitamin C, in short I’m overdosing on on pills and medicines. But so far the results are not in a hurry.
Today was a particular busy day, [...]

Food for thought

Dinners are perfect ways of getting to know people. Instead of inviting someone over for an afternoon job interview, invite them over for dinner. The devil is in the detail, and the details accumulated paint the picture. It can be daunting, especially for the one invited, but it also creates a perfectly relaxed atmosphere putting [...]

A perfect dinner conversation

I just came out of a hot, steamy shower. Perfect ending to a never ending day. My sore throat has gradually receded to a dull ache. Unfortunatly my sexy, husky voice has disappeared too. In fact it was the best compliment I’ve gotten in months from someone other than my husband, when a colleague pointed [...]

Social agenda

Posted by: admin on November 17 @ 2:40 pm

The day is going towards its end but my mind does not. It’s full of ideas , action items, project plans and dinner appointments. Due to all the work I have tried to reduce get-togethers to a minimum, but as November and especially December tend to be very social months, my agenda is filling up. [...]

Body hang-ups

Posted by: admin on November 17 @ 6:05 am

Gaining weight is difficult to cope with for most. Gaining weight during pregnancy is a hell hole. My pre-pregnancy weight was 52 kg, hard maintained with a 5 day a week excercise regime, atkins diet and a busy life style. Even with all that hard work it was still difficult to keep, but I managed. [...]
