Chaotic Time

|

I'm gonna be busy this week so no post probably [but you never know]... Had a busy Friday yesterday: visit to the hospital and meeting up for freelance work at Camden. I'll be working on some new stuff for the next couple of days so I won't be online much. There's some cool design projects in the pipeline and I also have to finish a WordPress template for Farfallina still. I was called Friday afternoon about another offer for a senior web designer's role so will have to sort that out on Monday and by the end of the week I will be in the Lowlands for a rapid visit to collect my stuff from storage there and move it to the UK. Another step that needs to be taken which will probably cause some emotional stir to me.

I'll be going through the Channel tunnel which has been a while... I think last time I used it was in 2002. Most of my friends think I'm crazy for doing this but I don't really have a problem with it to be honest. Yes it's freaky but so is an airplane in my humble opinion. And the boat is really not an option to me since 2004, when I ended up being stuck on it for 6 hours in a serious gale that was so bad it ripped out the back/emergency doors. Almost everyone on the boat was sick, even if you had sea legs, the sight and smell of people puking was enough to cause a similar reaction. On top of that I was 'launched' by the force of a wave, from one wall to the opposite one: almost ended up breaking my shoulder crashing into the wall. Never again...

I guess I will be completely knackered by the time I'm back in the UK again, it will be three days of moving basically without any help, so I could use some luck and some good vibes. I lost my mouse yesterday [the light grey one] he passed away: he was old, extremely old for a mouse, 2.5 years at least, but that doesn't make it easier... He had a good life and I will miss him. So let me be sad for a few days, he deserves it! So long my friend, thank you for the company! Everything seems to slowly vanish around me, I hope it means that the universe makes room for something new. It is going to be a chaotic time I'm afraid...

I feel lonely lately, very lonely and I can't seem to shake off this feeling.

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 Tess


Occupation:
- Managing Director

  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!
