Getting Organised

OK, I know! I haven't blogged for AGES, and now I'm getting round to it there seems to be so much to tell I don't know where to start.

Life is still hunky dory in Old Amsterdam! I'm jogging alongside the Dutchman very comfortably these days, finding my feet and trying to get my life organised at last. During my first year here in Holland I've managed to dis-engage my brain and go into 'holiday mode'. This is a wonderful sensation, but real life does tend to catch up with you after a while, the bills pile up and decisions need to be made. I've realised that this place is now my home, at least for the foreseeable future, so I'm taking steps to make it official.

My four month stay at Danie Theronstraat is now drawing to an end. It's been wonderful having a place to myself and it's given me the perfect base from which to explore Amsterdam. Ton and Alice, the apartment's true owners, are now back from their adventures in New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia and Thailand and I shall soon be packing up and moving round the corner to a cosy little place in Balistraat.

In the meantime, I'm coming to the UK soon for my twin sister's wedding.... something that I'm stupidly excited about!
The hen night a couple of weeks ago was great. I'll write a separate entry telling you all about it.
