Ole! or Hoi!..?

Grrrr. Back to work. Already?!!!!

These ever-shortening days simply eat into our available time to do anything. [Of course, the fact I actually only woke up on Saturday at 2.30pm didn't help, but...]. A bit of a whirlwind sweep-up of wet leaves in the garden, a run around with the Hoover, some washing done, some houseplants re-acclimatised to being indoors again, and bam! Over. I didn't even leave the house, apart from popping to Tesco to buy fags...

Never mind, eh? Let's remind ourselves of happier times - like holidays!

How about something that combines - in the cheesiest way possible, of course - something from our two fave destinations, Amsterdam and Spain, in utterly insane "oompah" fashion? Ja, alstublieft!

Have a good week, dear reader.

    2. I'm with Mitchell today, sweetpea! Not having a job anymore turns the week into a steady "what day is this?" conversation and one that's had more than once a day!! xoxo

    1. It is utterly mad - and we "sang along" with it at Café Montmartre in the 'Dam in August, without even realising it was a football song! Jx

  3. I am not doing well with all the rain and early darkness - and this is just the beginning!
    I type this as blazing sunshine streams through my window - but in 10 minutes time it could be pissing down again. Is it wrong to say that I'm fed up with rainbows?

    1. Ha! "Fed up with rainbows" is a good way of putting it...

      We had "four seasons in one day" over the weekend: warm sun, pissing rain, hurricane force winds, light drizzle - everything except snow!

      [Oh, no! I've tempted fate, haven't I?] Jx
