Hooray!

Lost generation?

Smile!

I know it's an old one, but ey, you got to love it... life's for sharing.

Spekkoek

Despite her grandmothers warning us 'there are better and wiser things to do with the time in your life' (and her grandmother knows, 'coz she lived in Indonesia and she's the one who gave us the over 50-year-old recipe), we did it. We spent about an hour and a half getting the thing in and out of the oven, and all the layers baked. But we loved it... and we especially loved the result!

(Did you count them? There are 19 layers...)

Monday mornings

Imagen you would encounter something like this whilst waiting for the train on Monday morning... (or any other time)

Smoking...

Calls [random herbal-product-making-company]:

"Could you tell me why you put [random herb] in [random formula]? Cos actually there aren't a lot of trials around that investigate [random herb] but there are a fair few considering [other random herb] which seems to have a similar effect."

4 hours later:

"Well, we put it in because we think it's good."

"Perhaps you've got some information of trials for me, cos i don't seem to be able to locate this information."

"Well, we haven't got information on trials done with [random herb], but we just think it's good."

You might be able to imagen that after a few more questions (mainly about registration of side effects of [random formula] - no registration), and after putting down the phone i was slightly fuming...

Happy...

...St. George's day!!!

(i know it's a bit quiet on my side, but i'll try to post something soon!)

A day at work (48)

Will the one responsible for the 2 inch nail in my left tyre please pay the bill and my salary for the waiting hours at the garage?

Thanks.

April fools

Not joking... 3rd day on the Cardiovascular A&E, and i was the person in charge... *oops* Thought it was a nice joke when no patients showed up in the morning. Unfortunately 10 of them decided to come in the afternoon... I managed, but it was a long, long day

Two young healthcare professionals on a quest for different ways to heal and to care, enjoying the bumpy ride that is called life and making the most of every hump. Because their bubbly and creative natures are not always appreciated in a Dutch hospital, they found other places to let their bubbles burst . At times a bit odd... but always in a pleasing way.
