Haai everybody!
Yes I know, I should feel ashamed… (which I slightly do) that I totally ignored you since I have become a city-girl ;). I have been very busy and work has taken over my life… The apartment is still a blast, living with Lalo as well by the way, and we have joined the gym (as every Londoner does) and blockbuster hehehehehe. Joining the Friday night skate through London and ‘Getting started making your own clothes’-course are on their way…
Every weekend it’s full of fun though!! My parents were here a few weeks ago, which was good fun. Last week we visited Manchester (woowooooo) where Sarah and I made a dinner from which I expect that the monkfish would have wanted to eat itself really! The week before that we had a friend over from Mexico, and went out every night! We came across a gig from the Chemical Brothers on Trafalgar Square and sat for hours in an improvised living room on the beach during the Thames festival! I watched the parade, the fireworks, and even stole a carved pumpkin and ate a part of the roof of a house made of cookies! Life’s sweet… I have also joined Hyves (the Dutch Facebook) where I have found quite a few friends from university and even good friends from elementary and high school!! Writing Dutch is taking its toll though….very difficult once you even dream in English… Cool though, to see how your friends are getting on, how their lives are evolving (mostly with babies and so on…. Are you ready Lalito? Just kiddin!!).
Anything else? Yes, I miss you all! I really do!! London is great, but Manchester too!!! I miss having coffee (uhm…. Wine I mean) anytime I want with whoever I want. It seems much harder here, finding friends while being at work 24/7. However, tonight is my first girlie night out with some colleagues…. I’ll keep you up-to-date :D

I think that the best of London is the Dutch Birdie that flies around there...
Manchester is good for clubbing for example. But London is great.
Have fun at your first London social, I'm glad for you. While you are having your city girlie stuff, I will punish myself in the gym because of all those delicious OREOS I ate....
PS. Btw, I am ready!!!!! :D
