It’s remarkably difficult to not post about Giftmas or Sinterklaas at the moment, everywhere I point the camera there are trees …

Sometimes
Sometimes the stars align, and you get everything that makes you happiest all at once. I had a week like that last week. As the stars aligned, I was able to meet up with a friend I’ve spoken with almost every day in the last 5 years. We planned our weddings together, saw each other through good times and bad, and bought each other random gifts while traveling! (Doing our bit to keep the postal service alive!) Initially we lived on different continents, and in different time zones. We’re a lot closer now, but for one reason or another only actually met face to face last week! And we gossiped just like friends should. (Poor Himself.)
After picking her up from Schipol it was off to Leidseplein for dinner as I hadn’t had time to grocery shop! We may have then headed off for an after dinner whiskey.
The tasting menus at L&B are still amazing! Would you like to know more?
Today’s Table – Hat, Mittens, Shawl
I have been busy! But with the cold finally arriving, I can’t afford to not have all the warm woollies to wear! First and foremost, I finished and blocked my hat!

Turn on the Lights 2013
On Thursday last week one of the big events of the Festive Season kicked off. Yes, it was Turn on the Lights, which those of you with long memories will remember, we first went to last year. I headed into town early and dragged Himself away from his desk in order to get a good spot to see everything!
We got there with plenty of time and then debated with friends where would be the best spot to stand. You know you’ve been here a while when you randomly run into people you know when the city at large is converging on Dam Square! Which, we did! Would you like to know more?
Scenes from Amsterdam
Speaking to some friends this week, it feels like there’s a rough patch we’re all going through. So take what you need; whether that be love, support, joy, laughter, friendship, compassion, or just some peace and quiet.
We had a remarkably quiet weekend here. I think the recuperation was needed. I’m sure we’ll be more adventurous next week.
Be well, and happy.
