Easter Eggs

It's Easter this weekend. And every year my mom and I have this tradition of coloring up some eggs to create the easter eggs! Of course the ones made from chocolate have been in our cabinets for a few weeks, but as it's almost Easter, the 'fresh' ones have been coloured too! It always gives nice colours and the picture above is (just like the colored eggs) homemade. 

Easter is a very cultural and historical holiday linked to the crusification of Jesus. Judging the easter eggs and when I was little the easter bunny, like other holiday's, Easter has been very much commercialized. Even though I am not an active praticioner of my faith, the symbology of this happening/holiday does touch me.

For everyone, Happy Easter!

BBQ or ice skating?

Last year, march 23 was the date of the first BBQ of the year. It was nearly 20 degrees celsius. Today it is 2 degrees. Brr.... it is almost freezing and it is almost april. Sun where are you?!
My boyfriend an I bought a garden set of a table with six chairs and today we added a little bistroset to it. But the wether is nothing like sitting outside, so for now both sets are still safely locked up from this horrible cold and rainy whether, in the garage.

Hello again winter....

It's about half march and again it is winter. Good old winter with lots of snow. It is beautiful to watch but a horror to go through. Like yesterday, when for the first time in a really long time I had a planned trip by train. And of course, everything was out of the ordinary cause of the winter whether. In the end I ended up being just a few minutes late for my appointment together with some else who had to ride the same road. Last week we were spoiled with two beautiful spring days, and now winter is back at it's full power. But like I said, it is beautiful to watch. Below are a few pictures I found surfing the web.

New week

Tomorrow a new week will start. Or, depending from the way you look at the calendar, it already started. For me a new week starts on monday =)

Week 6 at my new job, and I am going to follow a course on tuesday. Real exited to be able to develop myself on this job through courses like these, but the school is kind off far away for me. It is situated in the middle of the country. But as I live in the utmost south of it, it is quit a journey. The whether forecast isn't exactly good for this tuesday so I just hope everything will go fine with the public transport. 

Last week I wrote about going back for one last time to my former employer. It was wonderful to be back at one of the locations. And I encountered a former colleague with whom I worked directly. The experience gave me a feeling of 'missing'. It was a wonderful year with wonderful people I had there. And I know I was just lucky to be apart of it. Therefore I still sometimes miss it. Which is actually a good thing, because it shows the nice times I had. 

This weekend my boyfriend and I went shopping for a garden set. A nice table with some lovely chairs to be able to sit and enjoy the sun or to have a barbecue. As March is progressing the hopes of spring come through, and we want to beat the real business with people shopping for gardensets. We did find a set we liked, but being a girl, I wanted to see if we would find something even nicer. We visited a few stores, but the first set is still the nicest. Probably going back there end of the week to place an order.

Have a nice week everybody!

Going back for one last time

Today I am going back to one of the locations of my former employer. I am invited to be present at the granting of an acknowledgement (is that proper English?). So I am all dressed up as there will be taken some pictures. It is nice to go back and a little bit strange. But as I am only going to one of the locations, and not the office I reccon it won't be that strange.
It is a good day for photo's as it is the second day that is about 15 degrees Celsius. Love spring!! But it seems to be that it won't last. Next week a new period full of winter is announced. So as long as it lasts, I am definately enjoying these moments of sun om my day off!
