Bonding

Wednesday 27 June 2007 at 10:11 pm Last time we went to the cinema together must have been to see Toy Story (which, i must admit, i hated, but he liked it). So with his girlfriend out of the country we decided to go on a date. It was funny to note that at certain points during the movie we were the only two sniggering about jokes or situations. Must be something that runs in the family...

Summer Solstice

Friday 22 June 2007 at 2:15 pm

Well, it is over again... The days will be getting shorter, and shorter, and shorter. Till we reach midwinter. Here in Holland the solstice went by, whilst the skies were grey and murky. I wanted to start a bonfire, but refrained from doing that *grin* so i just lit some candles... 

I hope you all had a lovely solstice celebration (or will have a nice one coming weekend)!

Memories

Sunday 17 June 2007 at 9:13 pm Okay, we (or at least i) did remember this morning *grin* But i remembered something more... i suddenly realised i'd opened an account  for my Dutch friends to keep them up-to-date with the stuff i did in London (mmmm....) a long time ago (Jan '05). But only posted about 10 times so not much use anyway. At least, thanx to Queck, i keep writing on this site *wink* But recently we've been telling people about the time we spend on the airport and looked at the pics, so am happy now coz i just found what i wrote then (we actually got less sleep then last night *wink*) Lees verder

Definetly pissed

Woops, we did it again. But now we did something completely different: ... ehm... I hope I'm going to remember it tomorrow.

Doing it

Thursday 14 June 2007 at 08:47 am It's interesting to see that quite a lot of my friends from the HM course in London are struggling with the same problems i have. Not practicing. For some it is just the lack of patients, but for most it is just that they don't dare to practice. Afraid of causing harm to others. So they're back to their old jobs, travelling to relax and refind themselves. Feelings of being lost, not knowing who they are anymore, wanting to do something completely different, are things i commonly hear. It actually is just like driving... you have to learn it whilst on the road...

Reflecting

Tuesday 12 June 2007 at 10:37 pm Every year i see more and more patterns emerging in my life. This time i've realised June is the month of reflecting and self-development. Not that i cease to develop myself during the other months, but i'm just diving in a bit more in June. Or so it feels. Yesterday, i wrote quite a long entry in my journal, but the bit that mostly stuck was: "I've found myself more than once, I've lost myself even more." Today I read this column. Interesting, coz for me it linked perfectly with what i felt yesterday. And funny, coz i normally don't like his columns/workshops at all...

New experiences

Monday 11 June 2007 at 09:51 am This week's new experiences include:

1. Driving in an automatic car, which was hilarious since i started to giggle everytime we drove off coz i was already thinking about the fact i was going to put my foot on the clutch (which obviously wasn't there...) everytime we had to stop or take a corner;
2. 'Drowning' the car in it's own gas (oops);
3. So i've learned from 2: not to hold down the brakes whilst turning the ignition on;
4. Reading a will;
5. Baking a vegan, no added sugar, no gluten, no added fat, carrot cake (which was delicious);
6. Trying to convince my overlocker to make a rolled hem (i haven't succeeded yet);
7. Eating loads of icecream (i've never been really keen on icecream, but Queck showed me this lovely shop).

Almost pissed

Sunday 03 June 2007 at 12:46 am

Found something quite tasty on my workunitservicesurface (thanks to Roosje/Keith) a couple of hours ago... left there (presumably on purpose) by Roosje, with the intention to let me sniff the bottle and get completely drunk. (I can't handle alcohol that well.)

It worked.

We (me and Roosje) are almost pissed.

Completely happy though.

(That's good.)

Maybe a bit irritating.

(Sorry)

Making progress

Saturday 02 June 2007 at 11:30 pm I have a problem. Especially when it comes to making clothes. I don't finish what i start... Mainly when it comes to finishing the hem (for example, i still haven't hemmed the 4 skirts i made a month ago). But today, maybe the first day ever, i've made a complete dress from start to finish. Pictures will follow shortly, as usual...

Feeling green

Saturday 02 June 2007 at 11:17 pm

It said that someone's driving style depends on one' mood or character... as said, she has passed her driving test four weeks ago... so, in four words: Enthusiastic. Creative. Energetic. Stubborn.

(thanks for getting me home safely tonight)
