A little sunshine

If you're here in The Netherlands, as I am, you know it has been raining and raining and raining. I don't particularly like rain. Surprisingly. If you're inside and don't have to be anywhere (and you're not mopping the floor to get rid of the water coming through your window panes), I guess it could be kind of cosy, in a way. Although snow is more effective for cosiness.

The thing is, I needed something to cheer me up. I have been working non stop for the last couple of weeks, as you may have noticed by the reduced frequency of blog posts. So I am a little tired and I need some white sand, a palm tree, a gentle breeze and an ocean of warm blue water. That's not going to happen right now (it actually will in a few months...yeaah). So the next best thing: cookies, ice cream, red wine (it's a little too early for wine) and flowers!


I had the cookies and the ice cream as well of course, but I wanted fresh flowers. It feels like a special treat. So I found myself some pretty flowers in pretty colors, looking pretty on my new tables in the living room.
