Julia is back!

By Evelien - Last updated: Wednesday, March 29, 2006

Faithful readers will – just like our neighbors – have noticed Julia’s car is parked in my street very often lately… In the past few weeks Julia and I talked, emailed and MSNed a lot. We have often visited each other, we have had dinner together and we have gone out. We have reached the [...]

Little Twingo

By Evelien - Last updated: Tuesday, March 28, 2006

Suddenly it was here: The new Twingo! As you can see it has its mother’s looks. But what you don’t see (until you do a test drive in it) is that it has its father’s character. The 16-valve engine makes it a lot more powerful and fast than Kitty. Unselfish as she is, Julia immediately [...]

Goodbye to Pamela

By Evelien - Last updated: Friday, March 10, 2006

Today was the last time I visited my speech therapist, Pamela. I have to admit I was touched by this farewell. We have worked closely together for a year and a half and we have reached some very good results. I brought her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and we have consoled each other with [...]
