Old car&New car

This is my 'old' car... I bought it 9 years ago. I loved it, it took me everywhere I wanted to go. And although it looks small on the outside... it's huge on the inside! Once you put the seats down you have enough space to go camping in Denmark and take all the stuff you need with you in the car. Or go camping in Luxembourg, this car took me places...

You want to move houses, not a problem.. this baby takes loads of boxes and a fridge on top. In short, I loved this car and it never let me down!

But the sweet 'old' lady was getting old and the older you get, the more money you cost every year. So with pain in my heart I had to say goodbye to this sweet little lady. Luckely my uncle has a garage and he took her in. I know he will take good care of her and let her have a few nice years somehwere in friesland where the grass is still greener then here ;P

And this is the newest lady in our midst. The bigger sister of my 'old' car. She is one year younger, more powerful and bigger.

It now has to travel around with two people in it, and my husband will be driving this one as well.So it's not only my car anymore but now it's: 'ours'.

So goodbye 'old' blue, welcome new blue!

Ladies and gents, our new car:

We have her for two weeks now and we got to know each other a little... haha.. She likes to drive faster then the old one and she is definitely bigger and more powerful. She's also very stuborn, she doesn't like it when we leave the radio on. When we do that, she drains out the battery and refuses to start!

Ah well, when we know each other well enough she will quit that nonsense as well!

And otherwise we'll call the ANWB again!!

Cake workshop

Of course, when the cake-decorating-bug bites you...

you want to do it again!

So here it is...

Cakeworkshop with colleagues, part 2 !

See, talented eh?

They did an amazing job and it was a lot of fun!

This one I didn't make during a workshop, but I wanted to post it anyway:

A cake for Marike's birthday!

The marzipane looks this bubbly because there is chocloate-crunch underneath it...

mmmm mmmmm

Weird things

People do weird things...

Can you spot it?? Do you know what I mean??

For weeks I just walk past this house thinking...

WHY???

Wall-E

Wall-E what are you doing??

There it is..

I promised you something...

But it's hard to keep a promise when the object you're going to take a photo of is not working!

I was finaly at the other platform, walking towards the 'thing' to make it work. What happened is hilarious... all these weeks of hoping, gone in a second.. it wasn't working. Which one was working? The one on the other platform!! It's starting to become a tradition I suppose! With only 2 minutes on the clock before my train arrived, I didn't have time enough to run to the other platform. This is as far as I got:

The weirdest things...

When you travel to work every day by train you come across the weirdest things. Also traveling by train is a big adventure in this country. But that's another story.... it's a story about how a trainjourney of normally an hour can turn into 3 hours when it's snowing. And then in the end it took you at least 6 hours to go to work and back home again in the evening.

Anyway... there's been said enough about trains and snow in Holland, let's hope it snows when I don't have to work...because I love snow!

Where was I...? Oh yeah, you come across the weirdest things on your travels to work, this is what I spotted the other day:

You might already have seen it, but it took me by surprise a little...

Any idea what it is?

I wasn't the only one wondering, I must say it was hilarious to see people walking past it en see them trying to figure it out. The thing that made this really funny was, that this one was actually not working. The one on the platform opposite was....

It made me laugh, because people at my platform were determinant to get it working. It must have something to do with jealousy i suppose...

Circling around it, pushing the button. It was a show, a nice show for me in the early mornings.

While the people at the other platform were happy and warm, the people at my platform started to get even more jealous and frustrated. Since i had to wait a while before my train was due to arrive I saw new people arriving and wondering what this weird object was.

Me...? I was sitting on a bench drinking my tea and enjoying the show !

So... any idea what this is??
