I've started working part time so I can go back to school. I'm taking evening classes, in a couple of years time I'll be a licensed pâtissière! Also my boyfriend and I have bought a piece of land and will start building our own house very soon So lots of changes I just thought it was time to start posting on MR again. I started reading a lot more recently, and there's no better way to find new books than here. Also, everyone here is so nice, especially in this thread. I really missed it. How have you been? I read in the diet thread that you lost a lot of weight. Congrats! |

Hi Iridal - nice to see things are going well for you. Land ownership?! Next thing you know you'll be turning respectable...
Black coffee in my cup. |

Nah, classic case of 'brick in the stomach' (that's what we call it in Belgium, 'baksteen in de maag'). Every Belgian is born with it. In my cup: fresh mint tea |

I'm perusing your post with a very small glass of rum in hand, and enjoying what I'm seeing!

So we decided to move, but then thought it was stupid to rent another apartment elsewhere. We both have enough experience with relationships to know and feel that this one can last for many many years. So we decided to buy a house. And then couldn't find one that met all our requirements All of the sudden we found this perfect piece of land. About 700 m². Very rural, lots of trees and pastures. Very quiet as well. We talked to most of our future neighbours, and they were all so friendly and nice. So we bought it and are now working on the design of our house Hopefully we can start building this year. We're going to do most of the interior work ourselves, so it'll take a couple of years to complete. But I'm already looking forward to having our very own vegetable garden! We've only been together for 1 years and 3 months, so there is some risk involved. But life would be so boring if you don't take a risk every now and then, right? |

Sounds great Iridal! Looks like things are really working out for you but are you sure he is not just after your pastry skills?

Sounds great Iridal. I am thrilled that you are so happy.
Keemun in my cup. I have some tea from Tea Gschwender waiting at home. I can't wait to try the rooibos chocolate mint and the match latte. The Bancha refill is appreciated. |

Lucas is doing great. There are pictures somewhere in the thread from Christmas time. He is growing like mad. Six months old and 21 pounds 6 ounces. Cute little dude too. And he has teeth. It is kind of nuts.

Hi, Iridal. Good to see you.
The sun came out today for a little while, and it hasn't rained. That constitutes are GREAT day on the Wet Coast. So, I'm celebrating with a cup of Keemun Xian Zhen. |
