Rain rain rain rain

The weather is not quite what I would have expected around this time of the year. While I am not wearing my winter clothes anymore I am still wearing thin sweaters and our heater has been used. Though I do not mind the temperatures my body does feel confused and out of season. Every morning I look out of the window and wonder what to wear.

Awarding things

So all of a sudden there is this barrage of awards coming my way. This because the busload got sent to draliman and he passed the award to me. I am honoured.

Three in one award

Long weekends

We’ve had two long weekends in a row, leaving us also with two three-day working weeks in a row. Many people took holidays, which results in half work as you cannot reach people and half work because there is only so much you can do in three days.

Did not fall off the earth

In fact I have been very busy. Of course there was the party on the 30th of April when we got ourselves a new King. It was a day of fun, a day of joy and a day full of orange.

Mr. Gaultier

About two years ago I read an interesting post on the sewing divas blog about a Gaultier exhibition. Now when it comes to sewing the writer can be trusted. She is the one that made my wedding dress. Jean Paul Gaultier of course can be trusted to bring something exceptional to the table

Mr. Izzard

This Thursday was Eddie Izzard in Amsterdam day. Of course then something unexpected happens. In this case a training and storm.

Just pondering a course

It is strange how things can trigger thoughts. Today my mum called that my brothers job may be changing quite a bit. It is a huge chance for him but I also thought it would be good  for him to do some additional training. In fact my own management/leadership course came to mind.

Best bread

SO made me one massive compliment. He told me my sourdough bread this weekend was amongst the best breads he ever tasted. WOW.

The worst part of springtime

Yes even spring has its bad sides. I am not talking this specific spring which has brought us more white fluff than some winters, but something specific to all spring and autumn times. I am talking day-light-savings.

Easter was spent baking

Baking and sewing I should say really. Here and there we threw in family fun for good measure. I baked a normal bread, which was pretty decent, a sour dough which was awesome, hot cross buns for SO’s family, Chelsea buns and focaccia for mine. I love my Kitchen Aid!  And it is not like SO did not get to play in the kitchen. He made Scotch eggs for easter.
