I have also been away with my boyfriend for a few days this past week, and although the weather was cold and wet, we enjoyed it a lot. We went to Saarbrucken, Germany, a town close to the borders of France and Luxembourg, and the scenery there is just gorgeous, even in the rain. Food was delicious and we just toured and toured and went sightseeing when it was dry.
I alsmost felt like an American tourist from the movies, when we visited 5 countries in one day on our journey back: France, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and of course my own Holland. Which is just flat and boring compared to the lovely mountains we visited.
I did read some good ones while on vacation though, and hope to be back in a week or so with a new post.
I wish you all a good time reading great books, and I look forward to interacting with all of you soon again.
I'll miss ya!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks B :)
VerwijderenI am going through a bathroom renovation myself - what cheer! I've begged to be killed several times so far and it is far from over ;P I wish you all the best and see you back soon!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenO Bridget, the bathroom is the next big ticket item on my list. For now, new windows and stuff, and curtains, pff.
Verwijderenaw glad you guys had a good time! And good luck with the shopping. I'd so trade places. I love Ikea and doing home things like that. :) Hope it's not too bad for ya!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Anna, can't you come over and fill in for me ;)
VerwijderenGood luck with it! Hopefully it won't be too bad. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Jenn!
VerwijderenGood luck with the decorating and trips to IKEA. Make sure not to go on Wednesday, because then it's 'Woonsdag' at IKEA and very, very crowded.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, it is official, I am going to Ikea with Freya tomorrow after work ...
VerwijderenThanks Julchen :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood luck with everything I hope you'll be able to do what you want. Your trip sounds awesome! Almost in France yay! next time you can visit me!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Melliane! We actually did go into France twice, the second time was accidentally, suddenly we were just there, but it was gorgeous. Planters with flowers along the streets, and all the houses had such beautiful gardens. Very very lovely.
VerwijderenGood luck my friend and unless I am shopping for books I loathe shopping too :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks Anna! I still have more shopping to do today!
VerwijderenIt sounds like you have been really busy. I hate shopping as well, so good luck!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOne thing just leads to another, it is horrible! No reading time or energy whatsoever.
VerwijderenI'm so jealous about your trip, that sounds like so much fun!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI do like decorating and organizing my house, but I hear you that it can be a daunting task sometimes. If you're not a fan of Ikea but find it to be a necessary evil I'd recommend shopping their website first and then if you go straight to the warehouse with a printout of what you want they find it right for you and pull it off the shelves so you don't have to hunt around for what you're looking for. Saves a ton of time! :)
The trip was really nice Sarah, but the trip to Ikea not. Here in Holland you have to collect your own stuff, or pay 25 euro's to have it done. And as I of course bought the tallest wardrobe they have, that was a crime. It was even more difficult to get it up my narrow stairs, which has two corners. The thing was heavy, and 2.35 meters tall. Lucky, the neighbours adult son helped out.
VerwijderenBut when that thing is put together, it will never ever be moved again!
haha We had a wardrobe like that. It was so huge and when we bought it my husband's like "never moving it again so don't even think about wanting it somewhere else". lol I think he really despised me when I decided to sell it and hence move once more. :-P
