A good end of the day… January 30, 2012

Filed under: Books,Home Made,Me,Work — Simone @ 10:50 pm

…As I walked passed the bed, to switch on the light on my nightstand, something drops on the bed:

a tiny piece of confetti…

:-)

Thank you colleagues!

 

 

On another note:

Just this evening, someone I DON’T KNOW has ordered one of my notebooks!

What an excellent end of the day!! Yeehah!

 

Compliment for Mr. Grisham… December 14, 2010

Filed under: Books,Me,Work — Simone @ 8:30 pm

Mr. John Grisham deserves a compliment…

Random tram stop

I was reading The Client on the way back from work, and I forgot to get out of the tram at my stop!

And my man was waiting for me at that stop!

And it was freezing!

Oh noooo!

[While in the tram I suddenly looked up and recognized the stop-one-further-from-mine and got out, and just missed the tram going back.

So I walked one stop, and found my man freezing, and wondering where I was...]

 

But a good book is a good book, so that’s good. ;-)

 

 

Scheduling… November 10, 2010

Filed under: Me,Work — Simone @ 9:17 pm

Scheduling…

Yes, I make the schedule and

yes, that includes my own shifts

but still, I looked at my schedule after arriving home today and was surprised to see that I have a day off on Friday!

Quite impressive, that I can surprise myself.

After some coughing and some sniffling today (although someone had it worse than me!), I plan to pamper myself and/or plan to being pampered for the next two days.

With heavy eyelids, I think I’ll turn in early today, and read a dummy or something….

I took this picture from the ICYB online profile, I still need to look through my own pictures.

 

Round up June 27, 2009

Filed under: Film,Me,News,Reading,Work — Simone @ 3:44 pm

I haven’t spent much time at the computer this week.

The last couple of days it has just been so warm, that I don’t want to sit at my desk too long (now, if I had a laptop, I could sit somewhere else…outside…or in the shade…)

At the start of the week, Monday and Tuesday, I have spent some time with one of my cousins from Canada. We had a great time, and I’m really glad I’ve taken the time out for him.

I have ofcourse been working this week, and we have enjoyed two dinners outside on the balcony, which was nice. Watched a film: Mongol. Pretty interesting, a bit long perhaps.

I finished several books, I will post those soon.

At the end of this week I’m a bit tired, and warm, and trying to fight an upcoming desire to go to sleep…

Photo of our flag a few days ago.

Pretty slow week so far, but they were good days nonetheless.



Papersheet 1

Papersheet 1

Another box has been born (ordered, no less), for which I purchased paper on wednesday (won’t show it, it’s a surprise). It was impossible to resist two other sheets of paper.



And some more bookmarks were produced as well. Just looking at them makes me greedy.

Bookmarks, batch 2
 

Box, handkerchiefs and bad smell… April 13, 2009

Filed under: Box,Purchases,Work — Simone @ 7:57 pm

Sunday 12 & Monday 13 April

Finished box #3 Sunday, I consider it practice. (see tab) With a bit more patience, light and a good table, it can be better.

We went to a flea market on Sunday also, got home with loads of bags! :-) Handkerchiefs, paper and books to name but a few.

Monday was a working day, not bad at all, except for that awful man, who smells sooooo bad. I had to put on the airco in an attempt to make it bearable. Doesn’t he know he has an effect on people around him????
