Home alone again
Most people who haven’t seen their other halves for 5 days can’t wait to get back and see them again. Unfortunately, my boyfriend is not most people. Which is why, despite the fact that he came back from Vienna today, I’m spending the night alone, again. It seems putting the washing machine on is way …
Hello… and goodbye
I’m going away again tomorrow. Actually, that’s not strictly accurate (but when has this blog ever been?). This time I’m not just going away, but being sent away. Work is sending me on a seminar. A two day seminar… the two days being Friday and Saturday(!) in Cologne. So we (my colleague and I) are …
Still just about in the land of the living…
I’m sorry, I know you’ve all been dying to hear about the wedding. Me, I’ve just been dying. I woke up on Monday feeling awful. Sore throat… weak… no appetite… couldn’t stop coughing. Somehow managed to drag myself into work then left again at 1 because I could not concentrate. I was home by 2:30pm, …
Short and sweet

Apparantly you all want pictures…
By “you all” I of course mean the while two people who commented on my last blog post… So, in an effort to protect my last remaining shred of anonymity (and not unfairly expose the boyfriend) I’ve decided to place one photo of each of us in a password-protected post. E-mail me if you wanna …
In which I am reminded of why I do not sew…
Once again the weekend has gone by far too fast. It’s Sunday evening already, back to work again tomorrow and as usual I haven’t even managed to get through half of the things I had planned to do over the weekend. This time, though, I think it may have something to do with the fact …
