Saturday Morning

|

We ended up changing all the furniture arrangements last night. I already changed the lounge and the computer room yesterday before A. came home. It's all more convenient and more spacious. We have all the wardrobes in the bedroom [but we still need more space *grin*] and I changed the setup in the lounge. I will take a few pictures soon. A. is still thinking of buying a bigger house but to be honest I quite like it here! Especially the silence is so nice, no annoying sounds at all, so peaceful! Except for the odd police siren but I'm getting used to that already.

We cleared out a few boxes last night, most of our clothes are stored now and the empty boxes are in the attic. I think we're doing pretty well being here for just a week and making good progress. A. took the Lexus, it failed the test and he is sorting out tyres today. If all goes well we will be able to drive it later on so we can go places and buy stuff we need. There is a whole list of little things that we need to buy or do. I'm also getting my new cell phone today. I'm still with Vodafone and if I take a two years contract I can get a really nice Sony Ericsson K800i [see specs below].

The good thing is that A. wanted me to have GPS over here and I've found software that is compatible with this phone. I'll buy it and will have a life time license and updates, it will cover all of Europe with maps and street names and even voice instructions; really cool! There are also package deals for just the UK and Ireland, Benelux, Italy, France etc.

A. just came back, the car is fixed so we can go! Yay! I'm on my way to the stores now. I guess sorting out the pictures of Croatia has to wait, I have to get ready to leave. I have about 500 pictures and a few movies so it will still take a while, sorry about that. Speak to you soon! I'm going to get my new phone...

Beyond Description

A Zestful Quest...

Here you can read about my expat life in London: the latest news, concoctions and crazy thoughts I might have every now and then... Pictures will be added as well if what is on my mind can't be put in words...

About Zest


Occupation:
- Managing Director

  Gadget Gal
  Web Designer

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
