Bunch of flowers in the supermarket
I am stealing this from another blog- writing a list once a week of everything good that's happened, or everything I'm grateful for. It's also a good way to clear out some of those photos that don't fit anywhere :)
Don't even know what this is - I just liked their eyebrows
1. Being here!
It's still so surreal to be in Amsterdam, doing the washing and making dinner and mundane chores just in a different country. I still get happy every time I look out the window
The Dappermarket, near our apartment
2. Doing well at work
It's only been a couple of weeks so it's a presumptuous statement but so far I really like it there and they all seem to really like me, and the feedback I've got so far is positive so I feel proud of myself!
3. Walking everywhere
I was genuinely worried about how much I would miss my car, but I'm really enjoying that we walk everywhere. Every time we go out I see something new or take a picture of something that catches my eye (and tone my legs at the same time -win!)
Our new coasters :)
4. Another package from my mum!
This time containing a little set of coasters depicting Amsterdam scenes. I look forward to my post whenever she tells me she's sent it, I feel so special!
Smurfs! Memories of Brighton
5. Free pick and mix with my deodorant
The best thing that happened to me all week was when Dan I walked into the Kruidvat and saw a sign saying any two Dove products and 500g of pick and mix free! It was a no brainer and also the weirdest special offer I've ever seen!
And there we go :) The final one, although I'm not putting it in the list, is the fact that Dan's here with me. Coming home to him after work puts a spring my step! Although leaving him all tucked up in a warm bed every morning at 7.45 is not quite as jolly.
Your mum is my hero
ReplyDeleteI agree, i am a hero - not least because I have just worked out how to post a comment (taken me a fortnight, ok so it's the first comment in my - long - lifetime!) Go the Lewis/James combo :)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed it's only taken you a fortnight!
ReplyDeleteNAWWW I wanna get in on this love-fest!
ReplyDeleteYou should have thought about that before you left the country! I'm her daughter now.
ReplyDeleteMy mum did actually say on Skype earlier that she misses you haha, it's getting weird now!
