When it rains, it pours.

When I heard the wind blow like mad and the rain pour down, whilst lying in bed in my attic room at 5.30 this morning, I felt the urge to simply pull the covers back over my head and stay there for the rest of the day. Yet knowing I have only 8 weeks of my internship left (of which 2 weeks are Christmas break) I dragged my behind out of the warm comfort that is my bed. Not bothered to apply any mascara whatsoever, as the rain would make sure that it would quickly end up on my cheeks instead of my lashes, I wrapped up in my new gigantic woolen scarf to ready myself for the battle ahead. The battle would consist of me, on my trusty bike versus the wind, great powerful raging wind. The prize? Me catching the train. Or not.

An epic battle followed, at times I was not even able to move my bike because the great power of the wind and I thought that if just started walking I would be faster. But I did not give up! And yes, I did make it to the train station in time. A lucky bonus was that it had stopped raining that morning.

But not anymore.

Since then it has been raining almost constantly.

I fear another battle will have to commence later this day.

One perhaps even fiercer.

I must gather my strength.

Buy chocolate.

Sleep in the train.

Listen to Eye of the Tiger. Grr.

Oh wait.

If I had head wind this morning, I’ll have tail wind when I go home.

WHEEEEE!

21 going on 15

I went out to buy the New Moon book (Twilight saga, I'm hooked..) and so in the book store I kept searching the titles in the adventure section, then the fantasy section and then the thriller section. But no New Moon. Then the shop-girl was so kind to show me where it was. It was in the kids section. And I felt a little silly, being a grown ass woman.
But still very excited and can't wait to start my intern ship again next week, so I can have 2 hours of blissful reading time every day whilst being in the train to Den Hague.

Early autumn day.

Yesterday was a great morning, it was all misty (not quite visible from the photo) and I took my dog out for a walk by the rhubarb fields near my house.

As I dragged her along, she's old and thought I was trotting her off to the woods so decided to stop walking every 5 metres to convince me not to, I adored the colours of early fall. Lots of bright, dark pinks, silvery greys, pale blues and lovely yellows.

 

 (My first attempt at making a colour chart..)

Especially the colour of this moss inspired me. 

And the most soothing sound.. the sound of damp dripping from the leaves of bushes.

A good day.

Hearts everywhere!

I adore the idea of these 3D heart glasses as wedding favors!

Seven deadly sins..

Wouldn't this be a great DIY?

An amazing Day of the Dead shrine, a tradition which to me is the best way to honor the loved ones who are no longer umong us.
