My job is mental!


Ha ha, I love that I have a job that I get to write sentences like this:

"The ponies love staying at your summer camp! What have they done so far?
Wysteria loved walking through the forest, and Pinky Pie liked the picnic in the meadow! Swimming in the lake was Rainbow Dash's favouite activity, and Minty thought that toasting marshmallows on the pony camping trip was simply the best! Look at the sleepy ponies – they’re tired from their busy day! What have you got planned for tomorrow?"

I'm immersed in the midst of My Little Pony mania! But it's much better than punching numbers into a computer huh?

Amster-damn it was great!!


Wow what a place!!
Beautiful, fun, friendly - the city of Amsterdam definitely ticks all the boxes!
The girls and I truly fell in love with the city during our May Bank Holiday visit. With its canals, bicycles, cafes and shopping the coffeeshops (which are for many the biggest lure) hardly got a look in! We ticked a couple of the tourist boxes with a canal tour, a visit to the Anne Frank house, and an afternoon cycling around the city. We met up with some awesome Aussie dudes who were staying in the same hostel as us, and dragged them to 11 - a funky graffitti covered bar/club on the 11th floor of a once abandoned building.

I bought a copy of 'Get Lost' an awesome alternative guide to Amsterdam, featuring writeups on everything from shopping and dining, to squat bars and brothels! Three days simply wasn't long enough though - Amsterdam is one city I'll be seeing a lot more of!!

Sunny days, everything's A-okay...

Isn't it amazing how a couple of sunny days lifts the mood of a whole city? Things are suddenly looking a lot brighter in London now that the sun has regained its rightful place in the sky and the first BBQ of the season has been had. Looking forward to the upcoming bank holiday - the girls and I are off to Amsterdam. I'll provide a full report on the tulips and windmills on my return!
