Some patience required

Finally, after over half a year of waiting, and stressing the vendor to finally complete our order, the final pieces of our table have been delivered! With over 6 months of looking at white inserts in our table, they are today replaced for the official slabs of lay we originally purchased. Below is the final result, and for those who’ve

The big turn

In just a few hours, it’s about that time of the year. You get to kiss the person you’d wanted to kiss all year long as of the fact that there’s a brand new year on the doorstep! Also, it’s the time of rigourous consumption of numerous “oliebollen” and some champagne. I’m not going to participate in at least the

Christmas presents

It’s really early this year, but with us being together for a solid 5 years, I got a present. It’s the 8275! I’m really chuffed with this new model, as it’s the first I’ve bought in a loooong time. I know the 8285 is also out there, yet I’m still pondering the purchase as it’s not cheap. 😉 Thanks a

WP 2.7

Well, yes. I’m still alive. Even though it doesn’t particularly show from the activity over here, I’m still going strong. So why is this post called WP2.7 I can hear you ask?

Oh well, my digital alter ego hasn’t faded away yet and a little time off has set my mind to other things completely. Things I really want to blog about are: (in non-restrictive

Our welcoming committee

Whenever any of the two of us come home, we are always welcomed back by one of 6 (!) cats who patrol our neighbourhood. Often, the are with three or more, and they tend to lie flat on the ground beneath my car to enjoy the radiating heat. I do not dislike cats, or experience dismay from the presence of

A nerdish dilemma

I’ve mentioned it on some previous posts already, I’m a long-time Firefox addict. Everywhere I go, and on all computers I work, I’ve installed a version of Fx3, and on most including my favourite plugins. Maybe I’m a tad late with this, but since the release of the thing, I’ve been using Google Chrome on my work-laptop. What can I

And we're back…

After an 11 hour trip (which actually is very short for the distance covered), we’re back at home. Tired, yet gleeming with joy about the trip is has been. We loved it, each and ever bit. Well, except the bed. But the rest was great! I’ll make a proper post later on, after we’re done doing all the laundry. 😉
