Hello spring

Looking at the calendar, we have entered a new season. Spring is here! My favorite season. The sun will come out more often, the temperature will rise, flowers will start to blossom, you can hear the birds. I love it! It seems like everything will come to life again after the wintersleep. While typing this I feel a little spring sun on my skin. But it's still small. Our calendar says it's spring, hopefully the weather outside will continue to say so as well. But then again, we are only still in March. The weather can go up and down.

Spring day in january

From the outside it just looks like a spring day today. Except for the missing flowers and everything, but the face of the sun and the temperature sure make it look like one. This morning it was still freezing and it was dark as a January day should. But as the day progressed, the sun came through the clouds and it just lit up the world. Lovely! Makes me long for spring.These are the little things which can (and should (in the right mindset)) give you joy.

Brrr... Let's find a holiday!

I just keep wining about the whether. Last sunday we had a beautiful spring day. I think it was about 20 degrees, which was just great for a day at an amusement park and for a BBQ. But the days after where just very cool again. Thursday it was like 10 degrees, which is really cold for the time of the year! Well wining about it doesn't change anything, so my friends and I decided to look for a vacation! Dreaming away with beautiful pictures of the beach, the sea and the sun, but also some mountains and green grass. Love it! Now it is up to the planning of which weeks the four of us can all have a few weeks off at work. It's going to be around the end of July or more towards the end of september beginning October. We still have to figure it out. We were having doubts about where we wanted to go, Cuba, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Thailand or a little bit more close to home with Egypt, Greece, Switzerland. We narrowed it down towards central or eastern Europe. Probably something like CYprus or Montenegro. Next week we have planned to make a visit at a travel agency. Hope we have agreement on the holiday period and we can make some decisions about the location :)

Birds flying high

A lovely day like today really gets the spring feelings going. Not like the last couple of days, but true spring feelings. Birds are singing and are present all around the garden. Flowers have finally grown and the temperature is climbing (for how long....). I even painted my nails neon orange :) To share the spirit, here are some nice pictures I found surfing the internet. Enjoy!

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!

Ciao!
