Working out of the Delft office today. I am going to ride my bike to it. It’s a 45 minute ride. Beautifull route.
Last time I rode it I enjoyed the birds singing, the leaves of the trees risteling(?), wind on my face, just a nice quiet ride.
Saw all these other bikers with earphones in. Amazed by that and I thought why do you need a music when nature is providing this beautiful soundtrack!
Nipping my Sunday morning coffe with milk and eating a banana. Love that combo.Just got a text that my plans for today fell through. Disapointed? No.Just opened up the day for a whole new bunch of things to do or not.
The weather isn’t as lovely as it was yesterday, my sinuses bother me so maybe I just stay in read and knit. We’ll see.
Tomorrow I start a new job in the company I work. It’s in one of the offices in town, so riding my bike instead of taking the train. Love riding my bike through the city, crossing the river. The job itself, I don’t know. Neutral position on it. I will give it time. Again, we’ll see.
I am tired. It’s been a beautiful day. Haven’t done nearly half of the things I got planned for today. But I don’t care. I just so enjoyed today. The sunny weather, the people, the things I did do, food I ate. The ordinary and extra ordinary things. Just a perfect Saturday.
There are living two squirels in the garden of my friend M. She puts walnuts in the box and they sure love them. Facinating to watch, forgot to take pictures. By the time I got my phone out and made this one they both had already eaten one walnut each. No regrets taking more pics, because taking pics with my phone sucks. Dam thing takes forever to focus and make a picture. I have to push the button like crazy. I rather watch those beautifull creatures eat. I so enjoyed that. The topping on this sunny Sunday.
M. told me that they don’t mind her kids, they keep on doing there stuff with them around. Grown ups, its a different story. Last winter the kids were watching on of the squirels eat from inside the house. They had there noses right up the window. The squirel came down and put its nose up to their noses. Only the glass seperated them….
Just filled out a form to expres my interest in job openings there are at the company I work for. All in the name of this big reorganisation the company is in. There is only one job I like, but I listed two others also. I kinda like them. But I listed them mainly because there are jobs on the list I really don’t like…..
New beginnings here I come!
One of the reasons I like to go the market on Saturday morning. New discoveries. Todays treasure, the Loquat, sometimes known Nispero or Japanese medlar. Very juicy & tastefull with a sour after taste. Loved it. Gonna buy it again next week. Also going to bake a French style tarte with it. Looking forward to that…
Okay enough with the nice peace and quiet. Needed some action! So I went to Iron Man 3 tonight. Yes I am a sucker for those kind of movies. Love the Iron Man humor. Thought the Mandarin was hilarious. Of course waited till the end for the bonus, that little scene, priceless. And Robert Downey Jr, very easy on the eyes. Give me a brake will ya, I am only a woman, not Superwoman, so I need me some eyecandy from time to time!
Oohh and I can’t wait for the new Superman, Thor, Wolverine and X-men movies. Bring it on! And the trailer for Star Trek. Oh boy, I see many trips to the movie theatre in my future ;-) ;-)
It’s day two of my four day weekend. I’m at home. Doing some chores, reading, knitting and…are overwhelmed by the silence.
I know how quiet it is here. But now it feels like I really am living it. On a normal weekend I ignore it on Saturday. I zip around to the market, groccery store, doing laundry, cleaning and/or hanging out with M&M. And a ton of other things. On Sunday I give in to the quietness by reading, writing, knitting, going for a walk. And I always say to myself it’s quiet because it’s Sunday.
Now I know, it’s always quiet here. hardly any people around. Trees going back and forth in the wind. I live in this green oasis at the edge of the city. I see bunnies hop during the day time, it almost surreal.
The quietness is getting hold of me. Like a warm wave it comes over me and quiets my sences down. My brain goes a bit slower, thoughts walk through my head instead of run. I am in awe. It moves me. I am so content, alone in my quiet home.
