Beach food… November 10, 2011

Filed under: Food,Me,Uncategorized — Simone @ 9:08 pm

We went for a nice stroll on the beach today,

with the sunny weather we couldn’t resist going.

We also could not resist the little stand that sells fish and icecream and fries.

So YES, we had a huge bag of fries, with the works: mayo, ketchup and onions.

That made today an EXCELLENT day!

I received a blog health information email from WordPress for 2010.

I have a healthy blog! :-)

Then I would like to take this opportunity [drumroll]… to thank all visitors, everybody who is checking me out frequently, or occasionally. Either way, I enjoy writing it down!

 

Cold… December 2, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — Simone @ 2:39 pm

Everybody will agree: it is very cold!

When I sit close to the heating, I get very hot, but when I leave it, I get very cold.

There doesn’t seem to be an in-between warmth….

My hair is static, my skin is dry, yegh.

All I want to do is read and drink hot chocolate.

Home, sweet home! October 19, 2010

Filed under: Clothes,House,Me,News,Purchases,Uncategorized — Simone @ 8:30 pm

We are home again, as of Sunday night.

I told him I had a day off, which we spent very productively, filling shelves with clothes, tidying up all other parts of the house which were full with clothes and old furniture that has been replaced.

I haven’t yet mentioned the fact that I have the rest of the week off as well.

He already asked me once what time I start tomorrow, and I said I’d check.

When he asks me again I think  I will let him know I have one more day off. Or shall I inform him of the entire week straight away? Neh. Let’s stretch it a bit.

I discovered the birthday calendar was stuck on August. Sorry all you September/October birthday people. :-(

It is a lot of fun finding bags with purchases made two months ago! I have never had that experience before…

Clothes…

Clothing (not MINE, but that might be obvious)

As mentioned, the bedroom and the shelves are coming along nicely. I discovered I outnumber his clothes about 4 to 1. Oops.

I can either buy him loads of stuff to get a better balance, or I have to lose some. Due to lack of funds at the moment, I’ll start with the last option.

 

 

 

Stuck October 7, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — Simone @ 10:14 am

STUCK…

We were supposed to go home today and do some work on the house together. 

But now there is something wrong with the car, and we have to get it fixed, and now I’m stuck here…

And we may have to spend a lot of money on it… ouch…

Bad timing!

 

Screaming… September 6, 2010

Filed under: House,Me,Uncategorized — Simone @ 2:27 pm

We woke up hearing lots of high pitched screams.

Lots and lots of screams, all sounding terrified.

Oh right, forgot about that: the house where we are staying now is nearby an amusement park.

And the weather being so great this Sunday, there were lots of people screaming their lungs out.
