Digging through my boxes I found these. I can’t come up with any better excuse for having four (four!) pairs of 3D  specs then that the model reminds me of a certain funky long legged man. This is why I have too much stuff: I absolutely lack common sense and I still haven’t grown up. [...]

Four years in London is  a long enough period to acquire a broad selection of electrical equipment. A laptop. Camera and phone chargers. A small telly. Some lights. And more things like that. They all have UK power plugs. Which are different from Dutch ones as you can see. Not quite sure how to solve [...]

I am waiting for the inspiration, or should I say courage to start this project. Not sure when it arrives, if ever.

We have a new daily visitor in the garden, meet Gijs the hedgehog! You can nearly put your your clock on it – Gijs will appear around 16.30 every afternoon, entering the garden from the neighbours garden. Gijs the Hedgehog – enters the scene He then has a little walk through the garden to see [...]

Where have you been? Well I have been kind of busy and I have left London and moved back to the Netherlands. What? Why? Good question. Because four years 24 hours a day in the hustle and bustle of central London was enough for me. London is a very exciting and fantastic city and there [...]

HARVEY Why don’t you ask me those questions? KATE Which ones? HARVEY You know, from the airport. When I wouldn’t stop. KATE Oh, the questionnaire. (beat) Ok. Name? HARVEY Harvey Shine. KATE Place of residence? HARVEY I’m in transition.

How working for a large 50+ employees UK (as they have offices all over the world too) creative agency is different from working for a small 6 employees communications agency.

It’s one of those memes that force you to think about your year a bit. So here is my year in words. How was yours? 1. What did you do in 2009 that you had never done before?I saw whales in their natural environment. I biked the Golden Gate bridge. Both very memorable experiences. And [...]

I am taking a break from this blog. I am sure I will return but at the moment I don’t have any energy for it. Sometimes life gets in the way and asks to be sorted out first. I still have the intention to do the non xmas card exchange but it won’t be before [...]

It looks a bit cloudy at the moment Thanks a lot for all the encouraging comments on my previous post, it really makes me feel less alone with this. I had the talk with my boss this morning. He basically confirmed it all, I will get paid until the end of January after that I [...]

Regent’s Park The weather is so incredible in London at the moment that I decided to bike to Regent’s Park after work, to catch the last sunshine. I think that Regent’s Park has become my favourite park. It is often peaceful, I love to watch people struggling in the boats on the boating lake and [...]

Maybe I am just way behind, but I had no idea I could listen to most of my music online for free on Last.fm. It means I no longer need my iPod at work. And better – most of my iPod songs are free for you to listen to too: here is my personal radio [...]

Moving house … I told you I was going to move right? And that one of my flatmates was going to be Angus, the 39 y.o. friendly Kiwi. Well that still is the case. I have packed more than half of my things in boxes, booked a removal company and sent out the first change-of-address [...]

Firstly – and this will be the last time I write about it – my dizzyness is gone. I am not quite sure how well my ear is hearing, but I do hear with it. I just tried to listen to my iPod for the first time in weeks, and it seems that the music [...]

New York state of mind I have three questions to you today dear readers: 1. After how many pages is it allowed to decide not to read the rest of the book? I recently stopped reading a Zoe Heller novel just because it bored me to death. Should I have hold on or is it [...]

Wall-E – what do I know? I know it has been a while. Apart from a flu I also had some serious thought about closing the doors here for a while. I have no inspiration whatsoever at the moment. There is not much exiting to write about and it feels like the plot is seriously [...]

Just a quick update in list form: Here is my new logo. I love it, it is simple with nice colours and it works well on both a dark and light background. I received 125 entries for this logo and must say that many of them were pretty bad, but there were a couple of [...]

Love Seaweed actually After five and a half week I got the results of my operation today, it’s good news I am fine. And relieved. And after having it nagging about in the back of my head for that long it might take a while before I get used to not worrying about it anymore. [...]

Dear readers! I just want to give you an update on the plate as I am even starting to get emails from very friendly people around the globe about this. People I don’t even know! The wonder of the internet. The thing is that I have been thinking. Yes I was very attached to this [...]

Indeed (I will spare you the rest)
