Since I no longer have to go house hunting, I have less excuses for adventures out of the house. Combined with the grey weather and the early sun down, the days are becoming a bit dull and it all feels the same. Our office social team has organised a “surprise conversation club”. The organisers preparedContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 238”

Another Monday, another week. Today I wore my sweater dress that I made over the weekend, and it was a great success. Its warm, its comfy and just all round nice to wear. Be kind. Stay safe

So with the apartment search over, and the surprisingly nice weekend weather, we decided to explore a bit in my future neighbourhood. And guess what? It’s near the beach! Be kind. Stay safe.

The days are getting shorter now, which means that winter is really near now. At least I can say I don’t have to cycle home in the dark this year, because I am home already. Be kind. Stay safe.

Just another day working from home. In the evening I joined a quiz night for the first time in ages, and I learnt its still OK to have fun, even if I don’t do well in Mike’s quizzes. Be kind. Stay safe.

Today I baked windmill cookies, or Speculaas as they call it here! The cookies gets shaped in a mold before baking and then you end up with a cookie that is not only funky but also yummy. I also got some cool cookie cutters, and I was happy to use them to use up theContinue reading “Life in the time of Corona – Captain’s log: Day 229”
