House for Sale!

I'm hearing voices all day! No, I've not gone mad. The neighbours house is being sold, so a lot of people come and see the place today. It is always scary to not know who is coming to live next door to you. I'll have to wait and see!

So, what do you think of it?

A Day at the Office

Another day at the office. Today we had a meeting about the future of our work.
Due to coming changes at the workplace it is possible that I and my co-workers are going to be fired at the end of this year. Today we heard that there is a small chance to stay. There are going to be assessments from september till december. He/she who passes these tests has a chance to stay.  

Perfect Day

What a Perfect Day! I'm having a day off, the sun is shining, my new TV makes me very happy etcetera......

Summertime!

Brand New TV

Summer Weather

I'm having a very nice weekend. First on Saturday my new TV arrived. Every program looks better on the big screen, even the commercial breaks! 
On Sunday I have been outside. I have de-greened the garden tiles and cleaned up the old and dry autumn leaves. In the afternoon the temperatures got higher and higher, it felt like summer and the sun burned on my skin.
Also the 'Summertime' has started last night!

Last Night's Photoclub

I was at the Photoclub last night. Photographer Eli Dijkers - he is a former clubmember - showed us his latest photo's. I was impressed!

Hey, Big Spender!

On the first day of spring I bought this beautiful white 32 inch TV! It was not really a bargain but I hope I can enjoy watching it for many years to come.
Also today the weather was wonderful. I've spent the afternoon sitting in the sun in my garden. Today is the last day of my spring holiday. I will be working again tomorrow!

Tankini

I found my swimsuits on the internet: two tankini's. One in black and one in red, white and blue. They look okay on me and I'm quite happy with them.
The weather is also getting warmer every day, so, who knows, I can wear them this weekend!

Street Art

Here are some pictures that I took yesterday. I always love the graffiti artwork! I'm not sure what the last picture is about.... :-)

Room with a View

The Other Side

Lunch

I've spent my Sunday on the other side of town where my friend A lives.
After lunch we had a real long walk through the neighbourhood and found some interesting buildings and graffiti drawings on the way. Later that afternoon we watched some funny programs on TV and had spaghetti and wine for dinner. 

A Night Out

I was out tonight with my two brothers and sisters-in-law. We started at the Turkish Restaurant where we had a very nice dinner. Then we looked around for a movie to watch, but there was no movie that we could agree upon, so we ended up at my place to have a drink.

Colouring the Garden

My garden was quite empty till today. It needed a splash of colour. I went to the garden center to buy some spring flowers. I came home with flowers in every colour of the rainbow. 

Letting Go

It's time to let a lot of things go. At the end of this year my house will be renovated and I will be having less space for all my things. Every month I select the things I can't use anymore. Today I had a big bag of clothes and a bag of kitchenware. I took it to the recycling shop. What I took back is a colourful chinese mug and a short linnen blouse/jacket.

Red Carpet Date

Famous Belgian Fries

Friend M

Me Eating a Salmon Wrap

Once a year M and I meet on the Red Carpet at the entrance of the V&D shopping center. We have lunch and talk about what has happened in the past year. When all stories are told we shop a little bit. Today I was looking for a new bathing suit, but I did not find a good one. We said goodbye after having a portion of that famous Belgian fries. Till next year!

New Necklace

Necklace - Didi

Last Thursday I got this necklace from my colleague H. I like it very much. It looks a little bit like the necklaces that Marni is famous for. I've already tried it on. It goes with all my clothing!

What I did today

New Buildings

Fresh Tulips

Sitting in the Sun

It was a lovely day today. Walking through the neighbourhood I found some new buildings that have been build in the last year. Next I cleaned my house and put some fresh tulips in vases. I also had tea with neighbour H. It was warm enough to sit outside in the sun. 

Last Night's Full Moon

Moon over the City

I loved the big full moon of last night! I was walking home from the citycenter when I found out how big and beautiful the moon was. The moon and stars were very clear and sparkly.

Only Tops with Print

  

Good old Martini

My colleague H and I went theme-shopping after work today.
Only Tops with Prints was the plan. It was difficult to find some good ones.
I finally found a dress with a print for spring. So I'm okay.
On the way we passed by the Martini Tower.

A Night at the Photoclub

I was at the new photoclub tonight. A slideshow was shown about how to make your own theme shoot. It was my second night at the club, so I had to get myself acquainted to the members of the club. While the presentation was very interesting I was also very tired of communicating with all the people. But that's me......! Next time will be easier.

Spring is only a day away

Signs of Spring

Spring shows me more signs everyday that she is really going to start.
Only one day of rain - tomorrow - is expected. Nearer to the weekend it will be getting warmer. That's good because I'm planning a couple of days off.

Monday at Home

Lazy Lunch

I'm in my P.J.'s today. One lazy day in the week is a must for me! Sleeping in till about twelve o' clock, lunch, TV, with a good book and the latest style-bibles on the couch. A little bit of browsing on the internet. Tonight after dinner more laziness is to be expected. TV-programs as The Face and The Ultimate Dance Battle are on the agenda. Tomorrow I will be full of energy again when I'm going to work.

Birthday Party

Snacks!

A family meeting today! Nephew S-A invited me for his birthday party. On the photo above you can see little niece L trying to eat all the snacks. The weather was very nice, so traveling was very pleasurable.

Model Ineke
