Sweet Mailman

|

The mailman has been good to me today; all these wonderful parcels!!!

First I received a parcel at the door from Christiaan with a really really cool gadget in it, thank you again Christiaan!!! It's the coolest webcam ever!! Did I ever mention Christiaan's weak spot for Gaffer Duck tape? All I'll say for now is that the package was very well wrapped! emoticons/biggrin.gif I didn't try it yet but will soon, I will have to make sure not to make the same mistake again and crash my computer, I know how to seriously crash it now... So better be prepared this time!

Then I received my Barclays bank card, so I can finally pay in stores over here, no more trouble with my other cards. All I need to do now is transfer Euros into my UK account. Another problem solved! and it feels good! The last thing I received was some bedding for the mice that I can't find anywhere except online. We've tried so many pet shops but none had it so in the end I decided to order it online. Both 5 liter bags came in in the afternoon. Another problem solved. It's so nice to receive fun stuff thru the mail, I reckon receiving the parcel from the Lowlands was the nicest to receive. Not just because of who sent it or what was in there but also because it's something from 'home'.... I know that must sound pathetic, but I do appreciate receiving something from 'home'.

So I had quite a good day until I started to vomit out of the blue. I feel ill/feverish and not too well so I will wait until A. is here, have some dinner and then I'm off to bed!

[wrote this after dinner:]
I've received a mail from the designer at the Times his name is A., he would like to meet up and talk shop so I will reply to his mail tomorrow. I really need to sleep now!

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...

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!
