Bag packed? Check
Bikini recovered? Check
Great weather forecasts? Check
Off for a few days of gorgeous Dutch seaside, yay.
... Go!

Head versus Heart
Are you someone who makes more decisions based on the Head, or on the Heart?
I'm more of a Head kind of person. And I'm trying to live more by the Heart. Trying. Because sometimes this is pretty difficult.
Or maybe the Head is better in some situations anyway?
Sigh.

Simple pleasures
Today was my last day at work for the next two weeks, which always means a long list of stuff to finish and leaving as little work as possible for the colleague who will cover for me. When I walked in to the office it turned out that all our systems were down. When this happened the last time (only last month, grrr) it took all morning for them to bring everything back online.
Cue short panic to think of how I was able to finish all that work - not a good start of the day.
The whole day has gone differently than expected. By the end of the working day my plans for tomorrow had disappeared and later my dinner company had to leave unexpectedly.
The good part? More dessert for me! I'm never a huge fan of desserts, but for tonight I made marinated strawberries (in a French liquor which has been in my cupboard mostly unused for much too long) with lime-flavoured mascarpone. Leave both in the fridge for an hour or so.
Yumm. Really really nice.

Practically Perfect
Tonight I read this article: how do you find your passion? And keep it alive?
Apart from some of the other things in there, I'm taking on his last challenge: to blog. Because, why am I not writing here anymore? More than 6 years of at least monthly writing has changed to ..... silence.
So, I am going to use this place as a type of online memobook - writing about things I see happening; things that I want to know more about; things that make me think; things that inspire and challenge.
I don't know what you will get to read (if anyone is still reading). I don't know what the result will be (if any).
That's not the point. I think I need to start putting down ideas and get them out of my head.
To be continued.
